Review of Daredevil (2003) by Drake T — 19 Jul 2011
It's a rocky ride from the start when an overuse of monotone voice over is used to narrate DD's contrive "dark childhood" but as the film carries on things just start bordering on "so bad it's good".
I mean, when he first meets Elektra? Or just introducing Bullseye and Fisk? Freakin' hilarious. Such over-the-top-cartoonesque nonsense is rarely achieved on the big screen with so little shame.
Unfortunately for us, it slowly rocks back and fourth between that and a certain degree of seriousness that warrants some credibility from Murdocks time spent on the case.
In the end, it's a series of poor decisions that ultimately bring this film down to an all-time low. Bad music, pandering dialogue, ridiculously staged direction etc. All really disappointing, what with there being so much to play with in complex morality from the whole "lawyer" premise.
