"Daredevil" is another action hero in the Marvel Universe. Although the theatrical version of "Daredevil" lacked punch, the director's cut more than makes up it with its added thirty minutes. Matt Murdock is an unfortunate child who is blinded by chemicals and can no longer see. Ironically, when he is blinded, the other senses increase in power so although he has lost the power of sight, he can still navigate the terrain where he lives. When he grows up, he begins a lawyer but he is also Daredevil, a masked vigilante who tangles with the city's worst villains. Matt almost meets his match when he encounters Bulls Eye (Colin Farrell) who knows how to sling things like darts as well as a wide variety of other weapons. Matt is up against his toughest adversary when he takes on Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan of "The Green Mile") who rules New York City with an iron fist. Along the way, Matt meets the love of his life, Elektra (Jennifer Garner of "Elektra") who matches wits and blows with him in a school recess yard. Ben Affleck is very charismatic as the nimble, agile Daredevil, and his scene with Stan Lee is very amusing. The director's cut of "Daredevil" is required watching if you're a hardcore Marvel Comics fanatic.
