Daredevil is by majority accounts a horrible movie, perhaps not on a level of Battlefield Earth but still pretty bad. However, being a Marvel movie, I couldn’t resist buying the DVD and watching it. I know, I’m a sucker.

Anyways, surprisingly I slightly disagree from the critics and give this movie 2½ stars, as in it’s a decent action movie. It is an interesting take on the Daredevil in that it basically tells most of his story in the movie (i.e. Ben Ulrich decision at the end), with several suspension of disbelief moments. For example, how did Daredevil heal and fight normally again halfway through the movie?

Anyways, the only major gripe I had with it was that they chose a black guy to play Kingpin when he is always a white guy (even in the Ultimate universe), maybe so they can include some stereotypical hip hop music in the soundtrack.
