10 Terrible Comic Book Movies You Should Revisit

9. Daredevil

Original2Why It Was Terrible: This movie was like Marvel comics' ode to jock rock ballad. Most of the transitions are marked by music video-esque sequences of meaningless action played to early millennium alternative rock hits. The setup of Daredevil, the first hour even, is really not all that bad. Matt Murdock is an interesting character and his afflictions and powers are pretty cool to watch. Most of the side characters and plot feels like it's being phoned in from all sides for the sake of convenience (like bullies goading a blind kid to fight just so we can see how he has enhanced his abilities in the martial arts), but the movie really isn't a total loss. Then the last half hour occurs, we see a whole lot more of Bullseye than we would like, and the entire affair turns into something that's not even enjoyable. To top it all off they even kill the love interest. Who does that? Why You Should Revisit: Or do they kill the love interest? Murdock is on his roof at the very end of the movie when he finds a pendant exactly like the one Elektra wore except it has raised bumps on it for blind people. Daredevil grabs the pendant and feeling it exclaims "brail," in the most obviously confusing way to tell us Elektra is not dead. Daredevil might not be a good movie, but there is plenty of slick action sequences that harkens back to The Matrix and I for one can always appreciate Jon Favreau making Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas references as he is usually advising Murdock to do something because he is his attorney. Even Bullseye is pretty cool... in small doses.
