Normally I do not like Ben Affleck, in fact the only other movies that I liked him in were Dazed and Confused, Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting. This movie was different and actually gave me a little bit more respect for Ben. The movie was fairly close to the comic, but I was truly upset that Stick did not make it into the film. He could have had 3-5 minutes in the flashback sequence. Also the costume was almost laughable. Daredevil with a collar?? Also, it ruined the ENTIRE franchise by allowing Matt Murdock's true identity to be exposed to EVERY MAJOR CHARACTER in the film. I was enjoyable, and only because I am a sucker for a decent comic book film will I rate this a 5/5.
