Review of Daredevil

Daredevil (2003)
Super hero or pro wrestler? You make the call
3 March 2003
I went to see this movie because it was the only one showing during the time I could see one that night. I went into it with very low expectations, but apparently not low enough. I think this movie could have been much, much better if they had chosen a better actor for Daredevil. I actually tend to like Ben Affleck in most films, but usually they are the films where he plays "every man." As a superhero, he is absolutely pathetic. His facial expressions (i.e. flared nostrils and one-sided smile) reminded me more of pro-wrestler posturing than a superhero. Affleck should also never, ever, ever be allowed to play a blind man again. His way of acting the part was to cross his eyes halfway and close them a little bit. At one point in the movie, I was laughing so hard at his crossed eyes that I almost had to leave the theater. Fortunately for Affleck, he had good actors surrounding him. Garner was good as Elektra, Duncan was great as Fisk, and Farrell was spectacular as Bullseye. He was so over the top funny that he made the movie. Unlike Affleck, Farrell really seemed to be a superhero (or villain).

I really don't feel the need to waste any more of my time commenting on this pathetic movie. I just thought others should know how bad it is before they waste money and time on it like I did.
