Daredevil (2003)

Mark Steven Johnson directs Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and Colin Farrell in this big screen adaptation of ‘the blind lawyer by day turned costumed vigilante by night’ Marvel comic.

Better than I remember…BUT… Nah! Colin Farrell and Michael Clarke Duncan look like they are enjoying themselves. Still, the first widely released superhero movie that had a pervading attitude of “Will this do?” There have been many since but this is the first one made more by the execs than an auteur or a fan of the source material.
