DAREDEVIL

stars ben affleck, jennifer garner, colin farrell
3.5/5

its not affleck's fault that this film didn't do well at the box office! in fact, i sometimes think that this film was one of his best performances. another comic to film, "daredevil" is about a kid who is blinded by toxic waste but his other four senses are given super-human acuteness. after the death of his father when he was 12, matt murdock (affleck) had sworn to protect those that the formal justice system had failed - in one way or another. a pro-bono lawyer by day, and a vigilante by night.

enter elektra (garner), the kingpin (michael clarke duncan), and bullseye (farrell) and you're in for a pretty crazy ride.

like i said before, a lot of people didn't like the film because ben affleck seemed to yuppie and/or pretty boyish to be a blind super-hero lawyer. but i think he pulled off the role believably, being both human and super-human.

so if you don't mind watching good-looking super-heros battling it out, "daredevil" is for you.
