What Parents Need to Know

About Daredevil

Parents need to know that this movie is more somber and much more violent than Spider-Man, including many deaths. There are sexual references and non-explicit sexual situations, including a reference to rape and a sexual encounter between people who do not know each other very well. There is some strong language and some drinking and smoking.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why we don't take the law into our own hands. How do you become a killer without being one of the bad guys? Why, when most superheroes have fantasy special powers, is a character who is disabled so appealing?

    This was a very good movie (Spider Man in a different suit) 11+

    This movie was a good one and was memorable. There is one sex seen but nothing shows. A lot of violence but nothing too bad. Good story line. No language. Fun for the family.

    It enters the dark depths of the Marvel Univerce

    The Daredevil has always been my favorite Super Hero, He was the only hero that ever left an opening for suspense. You knew Superman would always get out of anything, heck bullets bounced right off him. But The Daredevil was more vulnerable then that, he could be shot dead in an instant. And this is reflected in Mark Steaven Johnsten's Daredevil, the opening scene of which shows our hero clinging to the top of a church half dead. This is a movie that stays true to its roots, Elecktras Destiny is almost frame for frame from the classic comic. It's gritty, it's dark, and it's awsome.
