10 Worst Comic Book Movie Climaxes
10. Daredevil
We may have the Netflix series now, but for a while the only live-action Daredevil fans had to survive on was the mediocre Ben Affleck version from 2003. The film certainly isn't awful and has its moments, especially if you watch the superior Director's Cut, but one thing that doesn't work in either version is the final fight with Kingpin.
While Michael Clarke Duncan's performance as the character is solid, the inherent nature of the Kingpin makes him a difficult character for a superhero to really do battle with; he's just a pudgy guy in a suit.
Vincent D'Onofrio’s interpretation solved this in the Netflix show, but the end of the Daredevil movie just gives us a brief and clumsily-edited battle that basically just amounts to a few swings of a stick and a kick in the kneecaps.
The final battle isn't helped by its place in the film either, as it directly follows Daredevil's fight with Bullseye, which was a much more dynamic confrontation that took advantage of the character's acrobatic skills. Now he's locked up in an office that doesn't allow for much flair. Couple that with the whole battle being obscured in water and constant cuts to Daredevil's radar sense POV, and it's really quite disappointing.
