Daredevil (2003) – Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

This movie has some strong action scenes as well as some entertaining non action scenes between a lot of slow & cold drama – not dissimilar to most Batman movies – a role which Ben Affleck took over in 2016.

The fight scenes have a lot of flashing light & dark to disguise the lack of real martial arts skill on display – not recommend for those suffering from epilepsy. Good music accompanies much of the action in this movie.

The first half hour is mostly boring plot-building, then the movie warms up considerably when Jennifer Garner‘s character (Elektra) is introduced.

Supporting cast includes Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin – he’s a great fit for the role; Colin Farrell as Bullseye – a hired-help baddie – he also does a great job here; and Coolio who adequately plays someone wrongly accused of a crime, who Ben Affleck‘s character defends (no matter how much it costs him). Jon Favreau also does well as the main character’s partner at their own law firm.
