Reaction: Not quite as successful as Elektra, but still a rather successful film thanks to its gross and fairly economical budget.
"Daredevil wisely follows Elektra’s lead by dropping the origin story and getting straight into the action. And that action cuts no corners in how much it puts its lead star through the wringer, amassing quite the beating over the course of the film. There’s not much to dislike but it never felt like it reached a higher gear and could've benefited from a stronger villainous presence." - Ron Gardocki, Los Angeles Express
"Sam Heughan is once again great as Matt Murdock / Daredevil, following up his impressive supporting performance in Elektra. This story doesn't have the tempo and immediacy of Elektra, but it still works on its own merits thanks to the number of fight scenes and Heughan's performance. Luke Hemsowrth is also a nice addition to the Marvel Universe, even if his character feels like a distraction at times." - Charlie Sage, HBC-TV
"Daredevil, as a film, doesn't seem to know what to do with its title character or the world he inhabits. It's an unambitious first Daredevil film with low stakes, forgettable villains and generic action. It's not a horrible film, but it is certainly uninspired." - Tim Givens, Lexington Ledger
