So sue me -- I was one of the fifteen people who liked the 2003 movie version of Daredevil.
But unlike most of you, I don't find Ben Affleck offensive. Maybe that makes a difference.
Where the Spider-Man flicks are four-color bright and sunny, Daredevil was dark and gritty. Stuff gets smashed. People die. Ben Affleck looks pretty good in leather.
OK, so the scene with Electra and Matt in the playground is so cheesy it should have been sponsored by Kraft, but I can forgive it. I liked the little touches (Matt sleeping in a sensory deprivation tank) and I started my Evanescence kick after hearing their songs in the movie.
And Bullseye freaking rocked. As did Kingpin, although we didn't get to see as much of him. It was nice, though, that the villains didn't overshadow the hero -- something that's fairly rare in comic flicks.
This is one of my "comfort food" movies -- Not great, but not bad. I know I'm gonna enjoy it, so I don't have to think about it. Just pop it in the DVD player and knit.
