A man blinded in a childhood accident fights crime using his superhumanly-elevated remaining senses.
Critics consensus
While Ben Affleck fits the role and the story is sporadically interesting, Daredevil is ultimately a dull, brooding origin story that fails to bring anything new to the genre.
What resonated with audiences
'Daredevil' has mixed reviews, highlighting its darker tone and complex characters. Many appreciate the gritty atmosphere, while others criticize its pacing and underdeveloped plot. Ben Affleck's performance is contentious, with varied opinions on his portrayal. Colin Farrell's Bullseye is often praised. The film's visual style and special effects receive mixed feedback. The love story between Daredevil and Elektra is divisive. Overall, 'Daredevil' is seen as an ambitious but flawed superhero movie.
