I love disaster films, even the bad ones, but this one is completely horrible. From the acting to the special effects this one is crap. The script is laughable and the whole affair is absolutely boring. The "Avalanche" doesn't happen till around the hour mark and all we get till then is totally blinding boredom. Mia and Rock barely have anything to do (god knows why they actually did the movie), Robert Forester is hot but the character is bland, and Jeanette Nolan is under used in the only entertaining role in the flick. The rest of the cast are forgettable and not all that all-star. The action is contrived and "special effects" are for the most part low-budget 70's-ish.

This movie would make a great sleep aid. It's bad, not enjoyably bad, just bad. It's bland and pointless. Skip if at all possible.

This film is slow. This film is cheap. This film makes Friday the 13th look like a Best Picture nominee. The acting is crap. The special effects are crap. No one dies for like 40 minutes and all the people do is act badly. The only thing that saves it is it's ability to make you laugh at all the stupidity going on. The funniest part is watching the heroine "fight off" the attacker. She supposed to be trained but she fights like a 70 year old. They spend pointless scenes on people who don't die and no scenes on people who do die to the point where you don't even know why they are dieing. I love slashers but this is just crap.

Daredevil has many good things about it. The DARKNESS of the movie was refreshing. The emotions shared between the characters really helped the story move along. The acting was quite good, especially Affleck, who gave a subtle performance which really clicked with the character. I thought Jennifer Garner, Colin Farrell, and Michael Clark Duncan did decent but unspectacular jobs in their roles. The Radar vision was cool. There were only two things I didn't like about this movie.

#1 Although, SOME of the songs were good, none of them belonged in this movie. They seemed cheesy in some places and just out of place in others. It should have been a more orchestral score.

#2 The CGI characters really sucked! Rarely, if ever was I fooled by these preposterous computer stunt doubles. They often interrupted decent fight scenes.

Through the good and the bad I enjoyed myself. It had tones of spider-man but was original at the same time. I give it an 8 out of 10.
