Daredevil (2003)
8/10
Another fun comic book movie!! On par with Spider-Man, if not better...
14 February 2003
Warning: Spoilers
CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS

I just came back from watching Daredevil and it's fantastic!! From the opening credits to the end of the movie-- it was a lot of fun!! The audience response was great-- got some good laughs from the movie-- had a mixture of drama, action, suspense and comedy...Kevin Smith (of Clerks and Chasing Amy fame) does a cameo--- incidentally, did anyone see An Evening With Kevin Smith DVD where he talked about how he recommended Ben Affleck for the part of Daredevil...Ben Affleck did a great job as Daredevil; Colin Farrell's role as Bullseye was outstanding, too-- provided some humor to the movie, and Jennifer Garner was such a knockout!! My favorite scene was when Ben was trying to find out Jennifer's name and they got into a duel-- ala-Crouching Tiger...definitely a must-see movie!! Great visuals, too!!! I give it *** out of ****!! Definitely at par, if not better, than Spider-Man!! They also showed an extended X2 trailer-- can't wait for that one, too!! To those who complained about how the movie was shallow, etc.-- it's a comic book movie, for crying out loud...if they want something deep and profound, watch The Hours (which I also love, by the way).

Beautiful fairy tale!
13 July 2001
I only saw the last half hour of this movie on the Turner Classic Movie (TCM) channel on cable one early morning last month and incidentally, was the climax of the movie. I was immediately pulled by the beauty of Sophia Loren as she competes with the other princesses in the dishwashing contest. That scene alone is a classic! I've never seen quite like it before. Too bad the movie is not available on VHS or DVD because I sure would love to own this one. Considering that I am not familiar of Sophia Loren and her movies (she peaked before my time), it is amazing to see how ravishing she looked! She joins the ranks of Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, for me, as the most beautiful women on the silver screen.
