Daredevil (PG-13, 2003)

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.

This movie is the second-best superhero movie I've ever seen! (behind the Dark Knight) This review is for the R-rated Director's Cut. I have not seen the Theatrical Version. Sex and Nudity The director's cut shows a girl flash her breasts. You see the bottom half of her breasts, then it changes to a side view angle. You can not see her nipples. A woman says "Every time we sleep together, I wake up alone." In the theatrical version, but not the director's cut, there is a sex scene. Violence This movie is very violent, somewhat bloody, and dark. The Daredevil kills many people. Bulls-Eye, and assassin, kills many people. The Kingpin kills many of his bodyguards/ servants. People are punched, kicked, beaten to death, shot, stabbed, and cut in half. The movie sometimes shows blood, and sometimes does not. The director's cut shows more violence, more blood, and more deaths. SPOILER! Daredevil and Kingpin fight, and Kingpin's knees are dislocated or broken; you can see his knees go sideways. Language A few d*mns, h*lls, a*s, sh*t, and one f*ck in the director's cut. Thanks to IMDb for the differences in the theatrical version and the director's cut. The director's cut has extended violent scenes, and an entire subplot. SPOILERS! The subplot helps explain how Fisk was the Kingpin. The subplot has Coolio the rapper as an ex convict framed for murder. Matt Murdock tries to prove that he is innocent. Coolio's character is pretty funny. Overall, this movie is pretty violent and dark, but one of the best movies I've seen. Also, it has a kick-a*s soundtrack (lot's of rockin' songs). I'm only 13, and the R-rated Director's Cut was appropriate for me, but I don't get queasy with violence and am mature for my age. The average 14 or 15 year old would be able to handle the Director's Cut. I hope you decide to watch this movie despite the negative reviews; it was very good!

Matt Murdock and his adventures as Daredevil is must read for myself. But terrible casting, bad acting and a film that doesn't understand what the comic is about has made this a major disappointment. The only thing making this movie worth watching is the cameo appearances of the artists and writers of Daredevil Comic books over he years. Stan Lee, the creator of Daredevil, to Frank Miller, to John Romita and his son John Romita Jr. and even Kevin Smith all made cameos. Daredevil would make a great film. This just isn't it.

THIS MOVIE BLOWS YOU AWAY!

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.
