Review of Daredevil

Daredevil (2003)
6/10
started off good....
3 March 2003
Warning: Spoilers
I really wasn't in the mood to watch another superhero movie, but I decided to give this a chance.

****Minor Spoilers****

Summary: Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive waste when he was 12 after learning that his father was still working for the Kingpin, a wild shot in the dark, that's the villain. Matt realized that even though he was unable to see his other senses were now extremely stronger than before and he was able to put his new founded powers to use making him almost fearless. After somewhat hearing and feeling his father die in front of him he grew up training himself and becoming the Daredevil, a fearless superhero, who helped the helpless bla bla bla... but a journalist makes Daredevil seem as if he is the bad guy, which didn't sit too well with Matt. Enter the woman, Elektra, daughter of some rich guy, who had connections to the Kingpin. Elektra and Matt fall in love, but at the same time an assassin is sent to kill her father and the Daredevil happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time making Elektra think that Daredevil caused her father's death........

Well the movie had potential, the stunts were over the top but nice, the movie was dark yet worth watching until Elektra turns on Daredevil, that's when the movie starts going downhill, everything starts happening faster, the lines are shorter and dull, the plot gets more predictable and right to the end the actors seem bored and ready to call it a day as quickly as possible. Ben Affleck looked great as did Jennifer Garner in her fight scenes.

I rated this movie a 6/10, I liked the scenes with Elektra and Matt when they met, but the ending just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
