[Jock’s Pick]

Easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, Daredevil (2004) is 2h14m of so-bad-it’s-hilarious, campy superhero garbage.

We watched the director’s cut, because why not, and it was nonstop hilarity. Colin Farrell’s Bullseye is the cringiest man alive, Michael Clarke Duncan is actually quite the formidable Kingpin, though underutilized, and frankly, Affleck’s Matt Murdock seems stiff and bizarrely out-of-character (due to the poor handling of his character arc). I don’t even understand why Elektra was there.

Originally, I gave it a 2/10 because it’s kind of hot garbage, but considering I’ve since shifted my ratings to be enjoyment-based only, it feels like a lie to say I disliked this movie. I also would not watch it again, though, so we’ll end on a more neutral note.

Rating: 💬 I have now seen this movie.

My best friends and I (known affectionately as Goblin House) have a regular movie night where we all sit down together and watch a movie one of us has chosen. Most of these reviews will come from a Goblin Movie Night, so they will be tagged with the nickname of the Goblin who picked the movie.
