Solid story line with complimentary action scenes.

Along with Catwoman (2004), this version of Daredevil was supposed to have come near to killing the superhero genre. However you feel about that, it did not succeed; but neither is it a good movie. This is the extended version, which just gives the movie more time to be bad in. Which is worst: the writing, the acting, or the direction? It's a toss-up, but I'm leaning toward the direction. So many silly-looking scenes, especially the martial arts wooing scenes between Daredevil (Ben Affleck) and Elektra (Jennifer Garner). They also got together in real life, ultimately as successfully as in this film.

Extended director's cut version that has Affleck as the vigilante super hero for underdogs, his future wife Gardner as ninja Elektra and Farrell as the mercenary Bullseye. The way Daredevil dressed, swung around in the air, fought and threw his wand, Affleck could have starred in the Batman series back then. but lost out to Michael Keaton and others until recent revivals (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League.) Highly entertaining for a fantasy comic with all the bells and whistles.

A blind, crime-fighting superhero!? Gee! What will they think of next?

I know this isn't saying much, but I found that about the only really interesting conversation that took place in Daredevil's story (this happened more than a few times) was in regards to all of the speculation being made over whether or not there were alligators actually living down inside NYC's sewer system.

It's not like I really care, one way or the other, about alligators being down there amongst all of that crap & crud, but that just gives you a pretty good idea of how insufferably dull & dreary the overall rapport was between all of the characters in this let-down-of-a-movie.

Personally, I think that this time around Stan Lee and Bill Everett's conception of the Daredevil character has got to be the absolute dumbest of all their joint superhero creations put together from Marvel Comics' heyday (circa. 1964).

Like, c'mon, now - A 12 year-old boy gets seriously splashed in the face with toxic waste and this doesn't kill him, or make him violently ill, or even give him face-cancer!? No.

It just blinds him, but this doesn't ruin his life. On the contrary, instead, it heightens his 4 other senses to the extreme (which is a big plus). And as he matures into a man he becomes as agile as an acrobat from the 5th Dimension, or something. (Spare me!)

Daredevil's story suffered a further traumatic blow by the unwelcome introduction of Elektra Natchios into all of the crime-fighting action. The icky romance that inevitably transpired between Murdock and this ninja-fighting rich-girl was an ultimate stinkeroo.

And, finally - Like, what the heck was with that goddamn over-sized pressure-cooker (?) that Murdock sometimes slept in? Did he design and build that contraption, too!?

All characters have interesting background stories and I am glad that the director decided to explore each of them. However the story somehow didn't engage with audience, I am not sure it is the acting or the storyline. It is kinda weird and a lot of fake goosebumps when they were supposed to be touching and sad at some moments. Weird.

You're right. I think everyone will enjoy it too. i did, at least:)

I love this movie so much! Perfect mix of action- adventure and romance.
