| | SPLICEDwire | "Daredevil" review (2003) Mark Steven Johnson, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner |
 | | In one early scene Daredevil takes lethal vengeance on a scumball rapist who got off in court (Murdock had represented the victim), yet when our hero meets Elektra, he comes on to her very physically and intrusively, even when she literally struggles away from him, saying, "I don't like being followed. |
 | | Between the nanosecond attention-span editing, the flashes of radar-vision and the use of heavy rain effects and/or strobe lighting, it's almost impossible to follow any of the fights until they're over and one combatant is lying face down. |
 | | Even at its passably entertaining best, "Daredevil" is a forgettable, assembly-line effort with a cast of "hot" young stars picked for their marketability, not their talent (something "Spider-Man" had in spades). |
