Daredevil Reviews |
A better actor than Ben Affleck might have made something more of this, although a stronger script and a director more interested in content than in style would have helped, too. Affleck tries to register the character's inner torment, but it keeps coming out as little more than a scowl. [read review]
--Ron Weiskind (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
The gritty tone will most likely turn off a good portion of the audience, who'll no doubt be expecting another light-hearted romp in the vein of Spider-Man. Still, for those who like their flicks to be a bit more hard-edged, Daredevil should fit the billnicely. [read review] 
--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
"Daredevil" is an action blockbuster that's one of the biggest misfires in its genre since "Godzilla" almost five years ago. Based on Stan Lee's comic book series, it takes sunny, uncomplicated Ben Affleck and casts him as a dark, tormented figure. [read review]
--Mick LaSalle (San Francisco Chronicle)
“Daredevil” lacks the relevance and depth of X-Men and the heartfelt charm of Spider-Man, but it delivers an exciting ride with tragic undertones. It’s pretty much everything a comic book movie should be: stylish, thrilling and involving. [read review] 
--Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
Fans of the comic book will probably have some nits to pick, but, overall, Daredevil does about one would expect from a movie of that name – present about 90 minutes of disposable, action-oriented entertainment. [read review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
A crushing disappointment after the blistering successes of X-Men and Spider-Man – it’s frustrating, poorly shot, occasionally nonsensical and frequently stupid. And, oh yes, it’s got Ben Affleck in it. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
The maroon couch-suit is kind of cool and it's fun to watch him suck face with Jennifer Garner. But in the end, Ben Affleck can't make us forget that other red-costumed New York superhero. [read review]
--Andrew O'Hehir (Salon)
The flick misses the bull's-eye by such a length that nobody except hard-core fanboys and leather fetishists will be panting for the sequel promised at the end. [read review] 
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
For the most part, "Daredevil" doesn't take a single dare; it travels the road much trod, even if it's through the midtown air. [read review]
--Stephen Hunter (Washington Post)
"Daredevil" falls victim to its own screenplay, overachievement, and the work of inexperienced filmmakers. [read review] 6/10
--Scott Spicciati (Movie-Vault.com)
The plot is pretty perfunctory, less concerned with spinning a compelling story, as spawning a franchise. [read review] 
--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
Not a Marvel masterpiece, but it’s got enough star power and punch to make it a dare worth taking. [read review] 71/100
--Terri Clark (Apollo Guide)
Daredevil is an entertaining movie, and a strong entry into the blossoming comic-book-movie genre. [read review] B+
--David Server (CountingDown)
The movie is, in short, your money's worth, better than we expect, more fun than we deserve. [read review]
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Really unfulfilling and also one of the worst superhero movies ever [read review] D+
--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
A comic book based film that isn't afraid to appeal to adults. [read review]
--Brian Balchack (MovieWeb)
I didn’t hate the film, but I surely didn’t like it [read review] C
--Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
The darkest comic book movie since Batman Returns. [read review] 
--Carl Lazarevic (MovieWeb)
