Daredevil (2003)
6/10
good enough to kill time with, but not much more
24 February 2003
Warning: Spoilers
The action was okay but the storyline was a bit shallow. Some emotional moments saved the film from being a relatively mindless slug-fest. Some good special effects were used rather well to put the viewer in Daredevil's shoes.

All in all, not a bad way to kill a couple of hours, but not what I'd call a good movie.

***SPOILER ALERT***

The playground fight was amazingly senseless. Come on, it's the kind of thing that happens only in adolescent boys' macho fantasies ;) and in this scene, Ben Affleck's fighting was below par. Jennifer Garner's was somewhat better, but not quite good enough to make us believe in her as Elektra the assassin. And to think Jeff Imada was the fight choreographer!

Ditto with the first fight scene in the bar. I realize DD would definitely try to put out the lights but it still made for a murky, barely visible fight.

***END SPOILER***
