Ben Affleck (Matt Murdock / Daredevil), Jennifer Garner (Electra Natchios), Michael Clarke Duncan (Wilson Fisk / Kingpin), Colin Farrell (Bullseye), Joe Pantoliano (Ben Urich), Jon Favreau (Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson), David Keith (Jack Murdock)

Amongst the worst superhero films of the early 21st century, miscast in every role, especially Ben Affleck as the blind lawyer by day and vigilante crime fighter by night.
The scene in which Jennifer Garner's Electra has a fight with blind Matt Murdoch in a park because he wants to know her name must feature amongst the most ludicrously pathetic scenes ever committed to celluloid. Although it might have held some weight if an extra yelled out "He's blind, you prissy dismissive bitch, just tell him your fucking name!"
At least that might have been more daring than an of the supposed superhero exploits on show here.
4/10
