"I want a bloody costume."

Daredevil can be summed up in 6 words. It could have used another hour. Don't get me wrong, that is NOT a negative, there was a LOT of shtuff in it! It was just packed into a neat little hour and 44 minute package so it didn't have time to really develop much. But a ton of development really wasn't necessary anywhere in the movie except for in the DD/Elektra love story, which is really the only suffering point of the film. I just haven't bought the whole "guy meets girl has sex the next night" thing since I started dating back in high school, but that's a minor complaint. I mean, when you get right down to it, Daredevil TOTALLY ROCKED! w00t! I mean, I just went over the only real negative parts, so I guess that means we're on to . . .

The Good

Ben Affleck
This is the FIRST TIME since Dogma that AFLACK! has not played Ben Affleck. I'm proud of the boy. . . I actually forgot he was AFLACK! during the movie!

Jennifer Garner
She was really great in this part, only problem was . . . NEST...Not Enough Screen Time! But she really shined as Electra! Sure she doesn't look straight greek, but they kept her Greek heritage... and well...if Wilson Fisk can work as Michael Clarke Duncan, well then...ya know :-D

Michael Clarke Duncan
The only person in existence anywhere NEAR built for this part. As always, he is a pleasure to watch on screen. Especially during the final scene!

Colin Farrell
This boy is GOIN places! Bullseye is done wonderfully over the top by Farrell and is easily my favorite character leaving the film.
