Daredevil (2003, DVD)

Ben Affleck.... A Real Daredevil in the Comic Book Based Movie !!

Ben Affleck was born as Benjamin Géza Affleck-Boldt in Berkeley, California, to Tim Affleck, who was a social worker, and Chris Boldt, a school teacher.

At eight years of age, Affleck met ten-year-old Matt Damon who lived two blocks away in Cambridge. Affleck and Damon would later attend Cambridge Rindge and Latin School together, although they were in different year groups.

Ben came to national attention in 1997 when he and best friend Matt Damon wrote the screenplay for and starred in Good Will Hunting.

After other sucessful films, Affleck starred in Daredevil, a 2003 movie directed by Mark Steven Johnson, who also wrote the screenplay. The movie is based on the Marvel comics character, using predominantly the 'grim and gritty' stories written by Frank Miller.

As a sidenote, Ben subsequently dated his Daredevil co-star, actress Jennifer Garner who portrayed Elektra, and the two were engaged. In May 2005, it was announced that Garner was pregnant and the couple were married on June 29, 2005 in the Caribbean. Garner gave birth to a daughter, Violet Anne Affleck, on December 1, 2005.

I started with the Daredevil Comic Book when it first appeared in print, back in 1964, and stopped reading it in 1974... so I missed the change to the 'Grim and Gritty' aspect by Frank Miller and others in the 1980's.

The Daredevil Movie and the Elektra Movie that featured Jennifer without Ben, were both of a 'Grim and Gritty' Style,' but I still enjoyed both of them, mainly because of Jennifer!

This would be a good DVD to own if you were a Daredevil Fan or a Marvel Comics Movies Fan!

Haven't seen this movie yet, but if the movie is even half as good as the actress Jennifer Garner, I'm more than sure it will be a hit and become one of my favorites!!!

MARVEL UNIVERSE WHAT IS IT TO SAY.A PERSON WHO TOOK A DISABILITY AND TURNED IT IN TO AN ADVANTAGE. HE HAD NO FEAR AND HE SHOWED NONE EITHER. HE BET THE CRIMINALS IN THERE ON HOME. IT WAS GOOD. HE WAS ALMOST LIKE SPIDERMAN THAT HE COULD FLY.

The theater version leaves out several scenes from the director's cut version, and throws in at lease a couple of unnecessary scenes not in the directors cut. The director's cut, as a result, is much better than this version. However, the one thing I like about this two disc set is that it does have some special features not found in the single disc director's cut. For example behind the scenes features, music videos, trailers, and so forth. If they were to ever produce a director's cut with the second disc of special features then that set would have the best of both worlds.

I always love to watch movies that the Critics hate.
Lots of action. Fun to watch. Jennifer Garner is always
a treat. Colin Ferrell was a great bad guy.

While I must admit that I was predisposed to dislike this movie due to its' being poorly reviewed by the "professionals", I purchased it because I am a big fan of the comic turned movie genre. I found the story to be a little stale, but I greatly enjoyed the film nonetheless. The action was good, the interplay between Afleck and Garner was good, and the graphics well done. Besides, how bad can any movie with Jennifer Garner in latex and leather be????
I am glad that I bought it and reccomend its' purchase. Steave

I just like the comic book style movies.Their fun and a good movie for kids.I bought it for myself and grandkids

i got the dvd...great shape...quick shipping..great to shop with. The DVD shape itself was great and the dealer knows what they are doing.

Good movie, but its no Spiderman. Dare Devil is a acrobatic blind man...don't expect to see some awsome heroic powers.

This movie is good, full of action and Great graphics. It is a great addition to a Collection of Comic Book based movies.
