2. THE ORIGIN - Let's be honest: There is no way to make a Comic Book origin less Nerdy. You simply have to accept the fact that, when Toxic Waste splashes across the face of young Matt Murdock, instead of softball-sized tumors exploding from his eyeballs, burrowing into his brain, and killing him in an agonizingly slow fashion...it gives him all the powers of a Fruit Bat mixed with The Bionic Man. David Keith is decent as his father, and plays Jon Voight's part from The Champ admirably. Hey, while we're on the subject of bats, did you know that the screenwriter(s) of Daredevil pulled the same sort of Hollywood Symmetry crap the screenwriter(s) of Batman did? In almost the exact same way?

3. THE COSTUME - Eh. Whatever. At least it was red and not just drawstring sweatpants or something. But the headpiece - I'm telling you, when he slipped it on his head automatically gained thirty pounds. Without it, Affleck looked somewhat slim and sleek - with it, Affleck resembled a hand-rolled meatball with a generous dollop of marinara sauce cascading over the top.

4. THE 'RADAR VISION' AND OTHER ENHANCED SENSES - Nice effects on the radar sense, and not overdone. There's a 'sonic ping' touch, and that was worth a chuckle. The other senses are barely touched on. Speaking of touch, do you know how they explain all the flips and twists and dodging bullets and swan-diving off of forty story buildings without dying? Because he has an enhanced sense of touch. Yes, you read that correctly: Daredevil can grab things really good, which naturally leads to better flipping and leaping. Yeesh.

5. THE FIGHT SCENES - Hey, God, when you're done transporting that family of Assholes to Iraq, could you zip back in time and destroy all prints of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Matrix, wiping the memory of these movies from future generations of filmmakers? Thank you. One fight scene in the whole movie is worth a damn, the first one in an Underworld Bar (populated by 70's Cop Show Stereotypical Criminals). It's frenetic, brutal, crazy, and helter-skelter - with knees to the temple and lots of shoving and scrambling under tables, just like a real bar fight.

6. JENNIFER GARNER AS ELEKTRA NATCHIOS - First of all, yes, that's her name in the comic and in the movie. When you say it out loud it sounds COMPLETELY stupid, though. Just about the whole theater erupted into laughter the first time her name was uttered. Comic Book names don't translate well into spoken language, as a general rule. Don't believe me? Think Comic Book names are sexy and cool? Name your kid Elektra Natchios, then; just don't be surprised when she wakes you up one night to kill you with a golf club after having been tormented one too many times by her classmates.
