Daredevil

I've always had a problem with non comicbook fan critics reviewing films based on such. This poor film was torn to shreds by the press and wrongfully so. Ben Affleck is bloody perfect in the lead as the blind crime fighter and with Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Colin Farrell as Bullseye you just can't go wrong. Of course, anything with Jennifer Garner running around in tight leather is Acadamy Award material as far as I'm concerned. The only real problem I had with this when it was first released was the casting of Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin. On subsequent viewings though I think the director made the right choice and Duncan excels in the role. Mark Steven Johnson directs this one by the book and even brings in his long time buddy Kevin Smith, perhaps better known as Silent Bob, for a great cameo. Speaking of cameos, Stan Lee of course has one and if you look hard enough you'll see Kane Hodder A.K.A. Jason as a bodyguard. Good clean action fun here and if you've been avoiding it...don't!
