    • Trivia
      Ben Affleck was virtually blind, as he had to wear heavy-duty contact lenses, which blocked out most of his vision.
    • Goofs
      In all her battles, Elektra uses her sais in a very incorrect manner. She has her fingers in between the prongs, which eliminates the sai's primary purpose, which is to trap an opponent's weapon. The way she holds her sais actually puts her fingers in danger. Plus, the sais are blunt weapons, not sharp.
    • Quotes

      [Elektra is reading]

      Matt Murdock: I was just looking for some honey. Could you help me out?

      Elektra: [not looking up] Right in front of you.

      Matt Murdock: [chuckles] Well, could you be a little bit more specific?

      Elektra: [looking up] What are you...

      Matt Murdock: Blind? Yeah.

    • Crazy credits
      For the first time, a sound effect of pages turning is added to the Marvel logo (aptly for a blind superhero who works through a radar sense).
    • Alternate versions
      In current prints, the 20th Century Fox logo is replaced with the Disney logo.

    Lacking
    Comic-book adaptations seem to be all the rage these days. There is almost always one of them on screen at theaters at any given time. I must admit that i do enjoy the genre quite a bit. Also, the quality of these comic-book adaptations are usually quite high. Which makes the less well made stand out even more...

    I like the character Daredevil. While i'm no fan of comic books i can still enjoy them sometimes, and Daredevil is definitely one of my favorite characters. A blind acrobatic maniac who is a bit more tough and to-the-point than many other similar characters. This movie however does very little to do Daredevil justice.

    To start off with the problems (and there are quite a few) Ben Affleck is his usual bland self. I swear that man couldn't express emotion to save his life. Then the character-development is nearly non-existent. We find out almost nothing about the Daredevil and how he came to be a lawyer or as insanely rich as he seems to be. We do get a short and fast backstory to why he became a crime-fighter, but that's all. This is a problem however that continues throughout the film, the story segments seem rushed. A bit more time spent building the characters and giving the story a bit more sense would have helped.

    And what pieces of this mess are less of a problem? Well, Colin Farrell is fun as the villain "Bulls-eye". And i'm sure some people will like the action scenes, although i found them lacking.

    In the end Daredevil is a failure. It's far far away from such successful adaptations as Spider-Man and X-men. The comic-book feeling just never goes more than skin-deep. Also the movie looks expensive, but it feels like the director never really knew what to do with all the money. A shame since the character deserved better. I rate this 3/10.
