In short, the actors deserve a big round of applause -– especially Affleck, for finally wiping the smug look off of his face (OK, 80% smug-free); Garner, for her dead sexy mix of attitude and adrenaline; and the grunting, googly-eyed Farrell, for … well, for being "fookin’" nuts, I guess.

The movie is, in short, your money's worth, better than we expect, more fun than we deserve.

Not woeful, not wonderful, merely watchable.

Brought to the screen with a mix of jaunty humor and jagged violence that should have worked more effectively than it does.

It's an adequate superhero yarn, but, hopefully, it's not the best of the burgeoning genre that 2003 has to offer.

A faithful translation of the character and one of his more memorable tales on the page; it satisfies as an adventure and as a more intimate story.

The movie's physical violence isn't gratuitous -- it's the emotional violence that makes this a movie for grown-ups, not kids.

It isn't a great film, or even a greatly original one. Still, it has many grace notes, and interesting oddities.

Its overall effect is distinctly underwhelming.

Daredevil the movie strains itself trying to catch up with Sam Raimi's web-slinging megasmash. It's a faceless copy, right down to the muscle-rock groaning on the soundtrack.
