Daredevil
2003
**
Director: Mark Steven Johnson
Cast: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell, Michael Clarke Duncan

A formulaic Marvel comic book adaptation. Matt Murdock is a lawyer at day and Daredevil - a blind superhero whose other senses are highly developed - at night. Daredevil has no superpowers, yet he jumps and flies from roof to roof like Spider Man. You could overlook little flaws like that if the movie and its hero weren't so utterly lacking in balls and charisma. The villains are equally devoid of personality, and we have no clue what motivates them.
