Review of Daredevil (2003) by Amelia H — 08 May 2013

Maybe not the worst ever, but definitely close. How they could have such a huge budget for this film and accept such a horrible story is beyond me.I've been a pretty big comic book fan for 20 years.

While I never got into Daredevil too much, he made numerous guest appearances in my favorite comics, and I was looking forward to this film. Yes, it's a comic book movie, but the level of camp in this film was unreal.

There must have been hundreds of cheesy lines in almost every line of dialog during this film, you'd almost think Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote the screenplay. Add to that the ridiculous amount of blind jokes and it was painful to sit through.

Okay, Daredevil is blind, and yet has insanely high perception in his other senses, we get it. No need to show endless shots of him doing amazing things with his other senses to hammer this into our skulls.

Bullseye has perfect aim and can hit anything he wants to, we get it, no need to show 20 scenes of him using this skill either. Now, if only we could get comic scripts by Moore, Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis produced the way they meant to be.
