Product Description
Ben Affleck stars in this big screen version of the Marvel Comics superhero adventures. When he was a boy, Matt Murdock was blinded by a spillage of toxic waste. However, with the loss of his sight, Matt's other senses have all developed to an incredible degree, allowing him to navigate the city with pinpoint accuracy. Now he works by day as a lawyer, and by night he becomes the Daredevil when he uses his supersenses to continue his fight against underworld supervillain Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan).

Format:Blu-ray
Just to let everyone know this is indeed the Director's Cut of Daredevil, and a nice release it is too.
Matt Murdoch is a morale driven lawyer in New York by day, but at night he transforms into a superhero, Daredevil, a man guided by sound alone, as he lost his sight during a toxic accident as a child. He's in love with Electra, but he has to make things right before he can make things work between them. With the difficult task of staying anonymous, he has to fight crime, and stay a sympathetic lawyer during the day.
This is a fantastic director's cut of Daredevil, totalling 2hrs and 13mins in total. Yes, there are unecessary scenes in my opinion that don't really add much to the story, but the remastering, the sound and the atmosphere really does make this film worthwhile. Knowing blind people in my everyday life I bet they'd love to be Daredevil, and I think a bit of us all whether we've got partial sight or not, we really wish we had his sound perception.
The Blu-Ray is fantastic, simply, and the picture is very good, with 30MB/s average. The 5.1 mix is actually terrifying at times because it's like it was happening in your living room. I also enjoyed the featurettes, and the commentaries with Mark Steven Johnson. There's also quite a lot of music video on this, 3 in total and a look at the music of Daredevil. Really this BD disk is packed to the very edge with goodies and I reckon you can easily spend 4 hours in total with the disk.
Impressive on all counts, shame we didn't get audio description, especially as it's about a blind superhero!

Didn't think this was coming to the UK so bought the US version of it and all I can say is why didn't this version of the film get released at the cinema?
I used to be a massive fan of the Daredevil comic book and the theatrical release of Daredevil left me crying. It was terrible. But this version is so so much better.
The story flows better, far more character development and inter-action between Matt and Foggy. There is also a good balance between the lawyer and the vigilante in this version as well.
All in all a huge improvement. The theatrical release I would give 2 out of 5, this is definitely a 5 out of 5. Throw that first version in the bin and buy this instead, you'll be happy you did!

There are a lot of haters of this movie out there, and that is something I've never understood.
This, despite what a lot of people say, is a great and faithful adaptation of the comic. The film looks and sounds fantastic on Bluray. If you own the movie it's well worth shelling out again as it has the director's cut of the movie and all the extras from both versions of the dvd.
Loved the comic, loved the movie and I love the Bluray.

The original theatrical cut of Daredevil was sadly a good but not great film and didn't really seem able to stand up to previous Marvel comic releases such as X-men and Spider-man. The Daredevil directors cut thankfully is a lot better than the theatrical cut. It manages to incorporate a whole new sub plot involving Matt Murdocks work by day and establishes the Kingpin with a greater presence and this seems to be the major addition. Along with this, some major scenes have been re-edited and expanded namely the bar room brawl as Daredevil seeks out the acquitted rapist, the rooftop fight with Elektra, the Bullseye Vs Elektra fight and Daredevils showdown with the Kingpin. These are welcome recuts as the action seems to flow a lot better with some exceptionally intricate fight choreography. Sadly, to make way for these additions we see less time devoted to the romance between Elektra and Matt Murdock so the final acts resonance is diminished slightly.
The baffling thing is that the Directors cut is a more fully formed experience where Daredevil fans can find more cues taken from the original comics but will also be a more enjoyable and informative experience for those unfamiliar with the character so I have trouble understanding why so many cuts were made to the films theatrical release. All in all, the original release is still a film worth watching but the true daredevil experience lies within the Directors cut.

I got the director's cut a couple of days ago, but my TV not being up to much I was stuck with it in black and white, but still this is a great film. I enjoyed the original release but the director's cut has so much more, the storyline is less rushed, the added sub-plot is great with some excellent, funny moments that shouldn't have been cut and above all, there's actually some character development! There's no end of great scenes between Matt and Foggy, thinking of the dog story, whereas on the original release there were none and some great moments, especially those with Coolio in them, all of which were cut. There's less of Elektra which makes the film work much better. All in all brilliant and hopefully it will be released here soon so I can enjoy it in colour!

I am angry. Perhaps incensed is closer to it.
Five minutes ago the credits rolled on "Daredevil (Directors Cut)" and here I find myself feeling perhaps the most effected I have EVER been after watching a movie. Sad, but true.
I remember the joy I felt having watched "The Matrix", not having a clue what the movie was about and loving every second of it. I remember the sheer respect for Peter Jacksons vision at the end of each "Lord of the Rings" film. He had done what they said could not be done. Likewise, I remember the shock, the surprise at the end of every M. Night movie I have ever seen.......but anger??? Disappointment, but never anger. Until now.
I am a comic book fan. No secret. I clearly remember my anticipation with the theatrical release of "Daredevil", just as I clearly remember thinking as I left the cinema "That was entertaining...but it could have been a better movie".
Pure and simple, The Directors Cut is THAT movie.
The original film was clearly edited for the Spidey market. This made no sense considering the Daredevil comic was never meant to be a Spiderman comic. Why should the film be any different? Daredevil is to Spiderman what Tim Burton's vision of Batman was to the 60's ideal of the same icon. Dark, brooding, gothic. The additions found in the re-edit are nearly all in this vein, expanding and adding to the nuggets of (black) gold found in the original release.
Surprisingly, the addition of over 30 minutes of footage does not make the film seem any longer. The extra scenes add depth, character and a greater understanding to the feel of the film. Side line characters are given not only dimension, but an actual reason to exist within the story.
Additionally, the additions (ha!... Read more ›
