Okie-doke…yet another comic book hero to make the leap
onto the silver screen. I wasn't really familiar with the saga behind
the "Daredevil" character (beings that I was kind of partial
to "Batman" as a kid…and still today I must admit : ),
but knowing it now doesn't help much anyway. Anywho, since "Matt
Murdock's" misfortunate brush with some radioactive waste into the
ocular area as a youth, he now has ultra sensitized senses sans of course
his sight. His hearing now acts more like a bats sonar (in a sense) but
as an added bonus, it has been given the range of tint, and not just simple
shape outlines, but the ability to see an iris of an eye. Making of any
bat jealous with envy. And how exactly does this make you blind then?
Which also makes me wonder if his remaining senses are better enhanced,
how does having an exponentially superior sense of taste help be a better
super-hero? : ) No matter… So the blind(?) youth grows up honing
his skills and thus becoming the present day Daredevil we all love and
adore. Including some pretty amazing acrobatic abilities that later on
will consist of the capability to plummet from a high-rise building and
land square onto a window cleaners scaffolding about twenty stories down,
and nonetheless remain completely unscathed. Wow! I did not know that
an unbreakable bone structure was included in his remaining five senses?
Perhaps it was switched with that sense of smell thing I brought earlier.
But in this somewhat bitter upbringing it seems that present day attorney
"Matt Murdock" aka "Daredevil" can not find his clients
opposition guilty, he takes matter into his own hands post verdict to
make sure justice has been served, and also is handed out to anyone who
might find themselves in the way. Cause you know nobody's truly innocent
so what's the diff? Sounds like Mr. Murdock is a sore loser and is in
need of some serious anger management classes. Anyway…
I have to apologize to any devote "Daredevil" Fan Boys (or Girls),
I went into the theater not being a "Daredevil" nor much of
a "Ben Affleck" fan for that matter. So, excuse me but, the
story seemed sketchy at best, and all the characters, two-dimensional.
It just appeared as if they try to jam too much information into a two-hour
time frame, and it all just left me with nothing more than a futile attempt
in finding a comfortable position to fall asleep so that I could escape
the rest of the film. End review…
