Anwalt Matt Murdock hatte keine einfache Kindheit: Zuerst verlor er sein Augenlicht bei einem Unfall mit radioaktiven Chemikalien und später wurde sein Vater von einem Unbekannten ermordet. Doch bei dem Unfall wurden Matts verbleibende Sinne auf übermenschliche Weise geschärft. Nun tritt er für die Gerechtigkeit ein: Tagsüber als Anwalt und nachts als kostümierter Rächer Daredevil, der freigesprochene Kriminelle heimsucht. Sein größer Gegenspieler ist der Gangsterboss Kingpin und Matt kann nicht verhindern, dass seine große Liebe Elektra Natchios in diesen Privatkrieg hineingezogen wird...

    Better than people say. Not great but an entertaining watch. I just don’t understand why they had daredevil kill people.

    The only way I can describe this movie is campy. I mean CGI looks like it was made the day before filming and they wanted to abuse the hell out of it for this movie The needle drops are the most fun part of this movie, literally a love letter to 2003 music

    **Daredevil (2003) is a misunderstood masterpiece** — especially in the director’s cut — and it still has a pulse that a lot of later superhero movies quietly lost. Mark Steven Johnson’s film follows Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer who becomes Daredevil in Hell’s Kitchen. On paper it is an origin story, a romance, and a crime picture all at once. In the theatrical cut those pieces sometimes collide. In the longer, darker cut they settle into something with real weight: a man who hears too much, feels too much, and keeps choosing violence he cannot quite forgive himself for. Ben Affleck does more than wear the suit. He plays Matt as someone already tired — charming in court, isolated at night, and never quite sure whether the mask is justice or penance. The movie format helps him. A two-hour story can keep the guilt, the Catholic tension, and the street-level brutality in one frame. A long series can do beautiful work with the same character, and the later television Daredevil is very well acted. Even so, this version of the story feels tighter. It does not have time to wander. It has to land. Jennifer Garner is the film’s secret weapon. She is stunning on screen, yes, but that is not the whole point. She makes Elektra look like a completed idea: precise, proud, dangerous, and briefly capable of softness before the plot takes it away. Years later it is still difficult to picture anyone else in those sai. Her later solo film did not live up to this introduction, and that is a fair complaint. Compared with a lot of current blockbuster texture, though, even that spin-off has more personality than people remember. Garner’s Elektra here is iconic. The movie knows it. The late Michael Clarke Duncan is an equally strong piece of casting as Wilson Fisk. He has the size, the stillness, and the voice the role needs. Fisk should feel like a wall that learned how to wear a suit. Duncan does that without straining. He is more physically right for the part than some later interpretations, and the film is smarter whenever he is on screen, whether he is speaking softly at a party or showing how little effort it takes him to end a problem. Colin Farrell’s Bullseye is loud. He is meant to be. That early-2000s school of comic-book villainy wanted theatrical menace, the same way Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin did in the first *Spider-Man*. Farrell leans into the grin, the accent, the relish. It is not subtle. It is, however, consistent with the era, and it gives the action a human antagonist who enjoys the work. The fights are the other reason the film keeps finding new defenders. The editing has snap. The bar brawl, the playground clash, the church confrontation — they are staged to feel mean and specific rather than weightless. The director’s cut is the version that understands this best. It is grittier, more violent, and more willing to let Daredevil be punishing instead of merely athletic. The trimmed theatrical edition sanded that edge down for a broader rating, and some of the story logic went with it. Watch the longer cut and the movie stops feeling confused. It starts feeling intentional. Then there is the music. Graeme Revell’s score gives the film its bruised, nocturnal mood. The song soundtrack is a time capsule of early-2000s rock and metal: Fuel, Seether, Chevelle, Evanescence, Drowning Pool with Rob Zombie on “The Man Without Fear.” That guitar-driven energy matches a vigilante who works in alleys and church lofts. It has attack. It has feeling. That is harder to fake than a low, looping beat meant only to keep the trailer “current.” This is where the film quietly argues with the present. Martin Scorsese once described a certain kind of modern franchise picture as a theme-park ride: polished, huge, and not especially interested in the inner life of the people on screen. *Daredevil* is messy, and it is not a masterpiece in every scene. What it does have is texture. You can feel the rain, the guilt, the cheap apartments, the bad decisions. Rock and metal give that world a spine. When a later show drops Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” into a set piece and the whole room comes alive, it is the same principle: the right aggressive music can make a scene feel like it matters. Too many newer films treat the soundtrack as a mood switch instead of a character. If you only know the shorter cut, the reputation makes sense. If you watch the extended version, the movie looks like what it was trying to be: a dark, compact comic-book tragedy with a great look, a committed lead, an unforgettable Elektra, a Kingpin who fills the frame, and action that still hits. It is not polite cinema. It is not a ride designed to sell the next ride. It is a bruised little genre film that believed Hell’s Kitchen should hurt. That is why it lasts. Not because it was perfect in 2003, but because it still has a point of view.

    🧑‍🦯👺 As a teenager I grew up watching the Daredevil movie and reading the comics. He's still my favourite Marvel character. I loved the original daredevil film then, but have to admit as I look back; it was pretty poor. So when I read a few reviews for the Director's Cut I got curious. The film is considerably longer, and considerably better! There is so much more detail in there that gives more depth to the characters and to the story line. A lot more attention is paid to Matt as a lawyer and this ties into the storyline brilliantly. I'd say it actually makes the film! There is more comic book content, especially references to the Frank Miller version. Comic fans will love it. Why the church setting...the film answers it. The Electra/Daredevil relationship...the film improves it. The legal partnership relationship...the film strengthens it. Much better dialogue. Every character in the film is given more time and therefore the film portrays their character more intimately. As Ben Affleck admitted, the theatrical version sucked badly and I can only urge anyone who was disappointed with the original PLEASE watch the Directors Cut and I'm sure you'll love it.

    I have seen some movies in my time. Even really bad ones I'll sit through, and it's not too often I turn a movie off half way though. Unfortunately for this movie I just couldn't handle it and had to switch it off and go stare at a wall. More exciting. If I got this movie for free, I still would have paid to much.

    If you've seen the Charlie Cox iteration, the comparisons are impossible not to make. Its a vastly superior rendition on the characters and its world. With that out of the way, this came out 12 years prior to that and should be treated as such. This movie viewed today is an interesting watch. Its certainly a product of its time. Its mostly a tough watch but there are a few things it does right. For example, the casting is inspired across the board. Affleck does fine as Matt Murdock, Jon Faverau is a great Foggy Nelson, Michael Clarke Duncan is a solid kingpin, Joe Pantoliano is a fantastic pick for Ben Urich. Collin Farrel and Jennifer Gardner do fine in their respective roles. There is some interesting takes for how they demonstrate Daredevils skills and how he navigates his life as a blind man. Unfortunately the script undoes most of the good will done with the casting. Its bad. Really bad. Cheesy delivery throughout. Some of it is fun and intentional but when they try are trying to do anything serious or elevated it just doesn't work and comes across as wooden. In 2003, there wasn't a tremendous blue print for how to bring comic book stories to the screen and they try to utilize the editing here to emulate it. In its final product though, it comes across as CORNY. Lots of terrible cuts and transitions throughout that land with a complete thud. Overall, there is some fun to be had here but its honestly a mess of a film. Beyond curiosity, its hard to say that this movie is worth revisiting. Especially with how they massacred my girl Karen Page. Downright criminal how they shrunk down here role here. Different times I guess....

    Pro tip watch the directors cut. It is a far more competent film than the theatrical. There is an actual plot that makes sense and ties the movie together. If that came out instead of theatrical this film would have gotten a sequel.

    It’s watchable, but there are so many issues, not least that the film plays like a comic, rather than a comic book movie. The scenes are very directly knitted, with little story in between, which leaves everything feeling rigid and stunted. The effects and action have a distinctly early noughties feel, and it falls into the lazy trap of being over run with a nu-metal soundtrack to try and paper over the cracks with dramatic music, rather than storyline. The leads are all subjected to a cheesy script, and Pantoliano is criminally underused. Not seen it? Not missed much.
