    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Ben Affleck was virtually blind, as he had to wear heavy-duty contact lenses, which blocked out most of his vision.
    • Goofs
      In all her battles, Elektra uses her sais in a very incorrect manner. She has her fingers in between the prongs, which eliminates the sai's primary purpose, which is to trap an opponent's weapon. The way she holds her sais actually puts her fingers in danger. Plus, the sais are blunt weapons, not sharp.
    • Quotes

      [Elektra is reading]

      Matt Murdock: I was just looking for some honey. Could you help me out?

      Elektra: [not looking up] Right in front of you.

      Matt Murdock: [chuckles] Well, could you be a little bit more specific?

      Elektra: [looking up] What are you...

      Matt Murdock: Blind? Yeah.

    • Crazy credits
      For the first time, a sound effect of pages turning is added to the Marvel logo (aptly for a blind superhero who works through a radar sense).
    • Alternate versions
      In current prints, the 20th Century Fox logo is replaced with the Disney logo.

    8/10
    Very underrated, I also agree that the Director's Cut is infinitely superior to the theatrical release
    I have to admit when I saw Daredevil in its theatrical release, I found myself underwhelmed by it. I loved the visuals, but I found the love story soppy and couldn't always make sense of the story. However, hearing so much about the Director's Cut being superior I got the DVD off my brother, and actually I really liked it. Daredevil is not what I call a perfect movie, I still did find the love story soppy and becoming dangerously close to flagging down the film and the soundtrack is rather dated and heavy for my liking. On the other hand, I loved the stylish visuals, the fresh, funny dialogue, that I could make much more sense of the story and could be more entertained by it and the characterisation of the titular character with him being vulnerable and flawed I found him very interesting. The other characters are not as well developed, but are enthusiastically performed. Colin Farrell especially is lots of fun, Jennifer Garner is decent and Michael Clarke Duncan is great as is Joe Pantoliano. The editing is good if occasionally rushed, and the action sequences are clear if not always very subtle. Overall, a good movie that fared much better on re-watch. 7.5/10 Bethany Cox
