Film Review: Daredevil Daredevil breezily skips through a short montage of Matt training himself to become an amazingly skilled acrobat and fighter. Daredevil dispenses his own brand of justice and it is disturbingly un-superhero-like in the beginning. This is the essence of Johnson's exploration of Daredevil. www.iofilm.co.uk /fm/d/daredevil_2002_r2.shtml   (568 words)

Daredevil (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Daredevil is a 2003 movie directed by Mark Steven Johnson, who also wrote the screenplay. In the film, Daredevil is a vigilante who has no problems executing criminals who escape justice (although he changes his ways by the end of the film). Stan Lee, Daredevil's co-creator, makes a cameo appearance in the movie when he is stopped by young and blind Matt Murdock from walking in front of a speeding car. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Daredevil_(film)   (2299 words)

Daredevil (2003) - A Review by David Nusair Daredevil is a grizzled vigilante who thinks nothing of beating the stuffing out of a evildoer - if Charles Bronson's Death Wish character had been a superhero, he would've been Daredevil. Daredevil is far more conflicted than Spider-Man ever was, going so far as to visit a priest regularly for absolution (more often than not, though, he seems to just get a speech from the man). Daredevil does all of his crime-busting at night (after his alter-ego has spent the day working as a lawyer, natch), so we're treated to a dank and rainy view of New York City. www.reelfilm.com /daredvl.htm   (733 words)

Daredevil On Film Given the present enthusiasm in the film world for comic book heroes, it was clear that pretty soon someone would get round to making a film of Daredevil. The central theme of the film deals with Matt Murdock's love for Electra, who, though she loves the lawyer, Matt Murdock, believes that his alter- ego, Daredevil, killed her father (of course, he didn't really). The film was not very successful at the box office and with 'Spider-Man 3' and a new Fantastic Four film in the pipeline (to say nothing of the X-Men and Batman from DC), DD might suffer the same fate of marginalization on the big screen as happened in the comic book itself. www.useless-knowledge.com /articles/apr/aug164.html   (376 words)

Daredevil (2003) The core storyline was based on Frank Miller's story arcs. The introduction/flashback was taken from his graphic novel "Daredevil: Man Without Fear," and many of the sequences follow John Romita Jr. I enjoyed the original version but the new director's cut version of this film is just fabulous. www.imdb.com /title/tt0287978   (435 words)

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Film | Malaysia bans Affleck's Daredevil The film's studio, Twentieth Century Fox, is appealing to the Film Censorship Board to change its decision. Daredevil, which is based on the Marvel Comics character, opens in the UK and US this weekend and was due for release in Malaysia on 27 February. He said films were only banned if they contained "excessive violence and sexual material or elements which can create chaos in the community". news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/entertainment/film/2760429.stm   (316 words)

About daredevil, daredevil the movie, daredevil review! In terms of release dates, then, this is the perfect time to release Daredevil, with the studios hoping to catch some of that superhero-hungry cash, before the big guns come out for the summer – the publicity campaign has been pretty intensive up to now and shows no signs of abating. As with Spider-Man, the film follows the pattern of giving you the ‘Origin Story’ (these stories have almost mythic status within Marvel and film-makers mess them up at their peril) first and then moving swiftly into a plot, of sorts. In short, the film disappoints on almost every level, though if you lower your expectations you might get a few laughs out of how bad it is. It does have its moments, but unfortunately they’re few and far between. www.actingmodeling.com /movies/daredevil.htm   (785 words)

Film Review: Daredevil (2003) What's great about the film is the seedy look it gives to the life of the superhero. Elecktra and Daredevil's romance is touched upon, but it's not long enough to understand why they feel so deeply for each other. Daredevil could have been the Lord of the Rings of comic book movies: epic, violent and moving. www.lightsoutfilms.com /film_daredevil.html   (534 words)

Montreal Mirror - Film : Daredevil But the Daredevil character is the one that comic-book buffs will be most defensive of, the one voted most likely to be fucked up by Hollywood. For the uninitiated, Daredevil is a blind vigilante (and lawyer by day) whose other senses - hearing, balance, touch and smell - have been magnified to a superhuman degree. As Daredevil’s magnified hearing is his primary interface with the world, precise tweaking and placement of sound are of utmost importance here. www.montrealmirror.com /ARCHIVES/2003/021303/film2.html   (523 words)

Daredevil Movie Review A large part of the structure of the Daredevil film is because of Frank Miller, so I think it's important to bring him up and discuss his work on the Daredevil books. Daredevil was created around 1964 by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, drawn by Wally Wood, John Romita and Gene Colan. The origin of Daredevil is that walking home from school one day he sees an old man walking across the street, about to get hit by a truck which just so happens to have radioactive material in its cab. www.wordsfromhere.com /movies/44.html   (1929 words)

Daredevil :: Film Review :: Backyard Daredevil’s super hero flaw is that he’s blind, but compensating is his super power, an extra sensitive hearing that, like a bat, enables him to see. But for everyone else, people who don’t really acre if the film makers have taken a few liberties with the costumes or if the bad guy is now fl instead of white, there’s precious little to keep you involved. All I could think about while watching Daredevil were the chicken nuggets the shop across the road from the cinema sold and if I should buy a big bucket or just a small serving — not the kind of thoughts you’re supposed to be having in an action fest. www.abc.net.au /backyard/stories/s812594.htm   (461 words)

Daredevil The problem is that the film's tenor and Catholic fetishism are moored to the light redemption of the titular hero, the bizarre stigmata and martyrdom of one villain (and forced genuflection of another), and perhaps the suggested rebirth of a femme fatale. Daredevil, then, is interesting for its borrowed elements, but it doesn't have any real weight to justify the treatment. Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck) is blinded as a child after witnessing his dad (David Keith) playing the enforcer for a local On the Waterfront Johnny Friendly--the double-tragedy (one moral, one physical) transforms the kid into a crusader for justice with a killer sense of hearing and touch subbing for his allegorical disability. www.filmfreakcentral.net /screenreviews/daredevil.htm   (603 words)

Miqque On The Web - The Daredevil / Elektra Page Daredevil is a hero with a twist: he's blind, but his other senses function with superhuman sharpness. In the film, originally based on a spec script by David Berenbaum, Ferrell is attached to star as Buddy, a man raised from in-fancy by elves at the North Pole. In that appearance the Daredevil costume was a tight fl suit with a hood that covered the upper face, but without eyeholes. miqque.50megs.com /motwdaredevil.html   (2666 words)

Daredevil Movie Review - MovieWeb The trailers for Daredevil did nothing for me, as I am not fooled fooled by the contemporary editor's sorcery to make piece of junk film look appealing. Daredevil's life of course becomes more complicated as his perfect match of a woman steps into the picture to romance our hero. As Daredevil he is cunning, deep, withdrawn, and subtle in his performance, and knowing the comic book character before he went into the role was a big plus and it shows on screen. www.movieweb.com /movies/film/53/53/review44.php   (998 words)

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Film | Daredevil tops US box office Daredevil, the latest comic superhero to be transformed in a live action character for the big screen, has soared to the top of the US box office in its opening week. The film took $43.5m (£27.2m) in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates, making it the second ever biggest February release behind the 2000 hit Hannibal. The film was produced on a relatively tight budget of $20m (£12.5m) and features the voice of young Sixth Sense star Haley Joel Osment as Mowgli, who returns to the jungle to see his old friends. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/entertainment/film/2771289.stm   (340 words)

Daredevil DVD Daredevil (Ben Affleck), a man blinded by a radioactive chemical accident as a young boy but left with superhuman senses and agile acrobatic ability. Wearing a red leather suit and mask, Daredevil leaps from high skyscrapers and tracks his enemies with his radar-like vision, punishing those who are guilty but who he cannot tackle in the courtroom. Daredevil fights their powerful forces alone, until he meets Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner of ALIAS fame), a skilled martial artist and sexy superheroine who is after Bullseye and Kingpin for murdering her father. www.daredevil-movies.com /dvd   (353 words)

Daredevil Film Review So the scene is set for a rumble, and Daredevil basically delivers, though in the kind of frustrating way we’ve come to expect from comic book movies. Daredevil has plenty of turmoil, but plot, characterisation, and metaphor seem to have been taken hostage. The action, to be fair, is exciting, Colin Farrell’s performance as the cheerfully sociopathic Bullseye is inspired, and the film at least tries to grapple with psychological issues, even if it doesn’t succeed. www.garbledonline.net /daredevil.html   (438 words)

Daredevil | film reviews | musicOMH.com One is that the film's distributor, 20th Century Fox, obviously did not want the film to compete with its other comics-based films, X-Men 2 and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, both due this Summer. Daredevil is so underdeveloped and under whelming that in the end it feels like nothing more than a collection of "cut scenes" found between levels in a videogame. Daredevil the movie, once the tsunami of hype subsides, will definitely follow in its characters' shoes. www.musicomh.com /films/daredevil.htm   (645 words)

comicreaders.com - from Ink to Film - Reviews - Daredevil In fact, that scene left me with kind of a sad feeling when I thought about the parallel romance in Spider-Man. Sure, Tobey and Kirsten have some cute moments, but their relationship is built on inequality, on him being the hero and her being the girl he rescues. The film sticks to its comic-book roots and paints its story in bold, heavy strokes. It was like: I went into the film wanting Daredevil's suit to be more red, like the comics, but as I watched, I realized it made no sense at all to wear a big red suit when you're a superhero that likes to work in the dark. www.comicreaders.com /modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=390   (930 words)

Daredevil - Lyn - Film-Critiques I wasn't really familiar with the saga behind the "Daredevil" character (beings that I was kind of partial to "Batman" as a kid…and still today I must admit :), but knowing it now doesn't help much anyway. But in this somewhat bitter upbringing it seems that present day attorney "Matt Murdock" aka "Daredevil" can not find his clients opposition guilty, he takes matter into his own hands post verdict to make sure justice has been served, and also is handed out to anyone who might find themselves in the way. I have to apologize to any devote "Daredevil" Fan Boys (or Girls), I went into the theater not being a "Daredevil" nor much of a "Ben Affleck" fan for that matter. www.film-critiques.com /Daredevil1L.html   (427 words)

MISFITS - Tim Wick - Daredevil Review The film can have a good storyline (this one did) and good acting (this one did) but without believable action sequences, it's going to fail because those sequences are the bedrock of the film. Daredevil has always seemed like one of the more acrobatic comic characters but we don't get a good look at him doing his thing. I think all the elements of the story are well contained and although I don't know the book on which the film is based, I've been told it is fairly faithful to the source. www.misfit.org /views/2003/02/twickdaredevil.htm   (1072 words)

February 2003 | blackfilm.com | reviews | film | daredevil In Mark Steven Johnson’s film DAREDEVIL, Ben Affleck may have the look to play the character but lacks the charm and the strength to carry the film. Daredevil leaves the audience hanging because there is so much that could have been done for this film to be spectacular. His entrance in the film as an adult was so quick as if scenes were cut. www.blackfilm.com /20030214/reviews/daredevil.shtml   (656 words)

Film Quips | DAREDEVIL After being blinded in a toxic waste accident as a pre-teen (played by Scott Terra), he discovered that his remaining senses were heightened to superhuman level, and that he could use sound as a kind of radar to allow him to make out the shapes and positions of objects around him. Since Daredevil’s moves are almost identical to those of his Marvel colleague Spider-Man, and that film is just a few months old, comparisons are inevitable. In fact, Daredevil possesses one extremely vampire-esque habit: because of his ultra-sensitivity to noise, he is forced to sleep in a coffin-like sensory deprivation tank. www.filmquipsonline.com /daredevil.html   (665 words)

Journal of Religion and Film: Daredevil Film Review by Julien Fielding By night he is Daredevil, a red leather garbed and masked avenger meting out vigilante equity with his fists and specially designed billy club. The showdown between Bullseye (Colin Farrell) and Daredevil, which takes place in a church, is particularly interesting in that not only does this merciless villain give Father Everett a warning shot so he can get away, something unheard of from his character, but the Irish rogue also crosses himself upon entrance. Daredevil reminds its audience that no one is innocent, but whether that is because of “original sin,” it does not say. www.unomaha.edu /jrf/daredevilrev.htm   (748 words)

Daredevil : The Irish in Film We learn that Daredevil is the son of an Irish-American boxer from New York's Hell's Kitchen. The Irish are traditionally depicted in film as committing crime or solving it. Oddly enough, becoming a cop or a criminal stems from the same deep sense of injustice, the difference being a willingness to work with the system or seeing the system as the source of the injustice. www.irishfilm.net /blurbs/DD.html   (147 words)

Jon Favreau Actor locations - 1000s of Famous Locations of movies, film stars, sites, actors & events from our Database We filmed some of stuff where Will would literally go on the street and get people involved just like hidden camera shows.' For all of the filmmakers, shooting exteriors in New York was an essential component for the film—to capture the magic that only New York can provide at Christmas. It was clear to the producers the only location to shoot the majority of the tennis scenes of the film (off and on court) would be the world-famous Wimbledon and it would be essential to be able to film during the 2003 championships. Crowd reactions and the general everyday running of the Tournament were also filmed, as was a scene with Referee Alan Mills escorting Bettany and Nichols onto the court for their final match. www.famouslocations.com /actors/jonfavreau.php   (761 words)
