Elektra turns out to be the daughter of a shady businessman. Shortly after Murdock and Elektra end up in a Skinemax-style sex scene—complete with a roaring fireplace! So who actually did the murdering? The muscle, Bullseye Colin Farrell , is one of those dumb movie assassins who seems to be going out of his way to call attention to himself; with an elaborate bullseye scar carved into the center of his forehead, he has ensured that he will literally always be the most conspicuous person in a room.
Oh—and in the comics, the Kingpin is obese and white ; Duncan is massive but proportional and black. Would you believe that some diehard Daredevil fans had a problem with this casting choice?
And if things had played out differently, that actually might have happened. Meanwhile, a mid-credits scene reveals that Bullseye is recovering in a hospital—and has even retained his remarkable marksmanship. Dear men: this does not work in real life. There are two bright spots in this movie.
Yes, Jon Favreau had a previous Marvel movie appearance and he gets in a couple of genuinely funny lines. Not only does he pull off the look of the character, he really works the part. I have no idea why anyone, let alone Fiske, would hire him. The tone of the movie is all over the place. The characters were underdeveloped at best and badly written at worst, Daredevil himself getting the worst treatment. I was a teen when Daredevil came out, and I thought I remembered the score as pretty good.
It featured bands like Evanescence, Seether, and Fuel, popular groups in the early 00s and enjoyed by my emo music-loving teenage self. I cannot stand that stupid smirk of his. He looks even more punchable than usual, and that's saying something. Rewind is an Inverse series that remembers the forgotten performances we love.

The cancellation followed swiftly after the announcement that Iron Fist has also been axed after two seasons — so does this mean that Daredevil is also in danger? Showrunner Erik Oleson has admitted that a fourth season is yet to be picked up but that he's hopeful one will be announced soon. There has not yet been any kind of an official pick-up, but if there is, I'm very hopeful that I will be a part of it," he said.

They don't string together in a way that's interesting or thoughtful, and they don't have to, because the film's focus is on making space for them at all costs. While there's apparently no time to explain how Matt knows about Kingpin played by the late Michael Clark Duncan in one of the film's few good performances or what the dastardly villain has done to Hell's Kitchen in the twenty-odd years since Pop Murdock's death it just… never comes up , crowbarring in a needless fight between Daredevil and Elektra was a matter of utmost importance.
Where the show tries to define Daredevil by why makes him unique, the movie is a series of action-film mad libs given life. The action does, however, make some room for one of the most cringe-worthy romances ever committed to film.
Matt and Elektra played by Jennifer Garner have little chemistry and nothing worthwhile to say to each other, so every scene where they appear together rapidly devolves into cloying nonsense. Their logic-defying first date - where the two battle Crouching-Tiger style in broad daylight in front of a pack of mesmerized children, Matt seemingly not at all concerned about completely blowing his secret identity - is an ominous start, and it just gets worse from there.
I could only watch the hero 'romantically' harass a complete stranger or see the two of them shove their mouths together like fighting mudskippers for so long before my will to live started eking away.
It wouldn't be quite so bad if the entire movie didn't suffer for it, shoving aside other potentially interesting plotlines so we can watch Matt and Elektra stare at each other in the rain while Evanescence plays, but there you go. We get to see Matt, Foggy, and Karen who is called by name and is onscreen for more than twenty seconds, unlike in the movie solve as many problems through smart legal work as they do through violence, making them seem much more realistic and interesting.
