I'm showing my wife Daredevil (2003) for the firs time. As of filming this, we've watched up to season 2 of the Netflix/Disney Plus Daredevil, so I wanted to take a look back at the original film to react and review it with her.

So Holden are you gonna see any of the 3 punishes movies 😆
@@Glaaki13 Yes, we will actually lol
@@HoldenHardman Speaking of Ben Affleck, you guys should watch some of his directorial work like Argo, Gone Baby Gone and The Town.
@@HoldenHardman Also, if you wanna see Jennifer Garner do a good solo action flick watch Peppermint.
what is this about the pinky ring?
The Director's Cut is SO MUCH better than the theatrical cut of Daredevil. It shows more of the legal stuff, and they make some other creative differences.
In fact, the "forgot about the innocent person being beaten" thing at 20:17 or the love scene doesn't even happen in the Director's Cut.
This. Was surprised Holden didn't pick the superior cut as he usually does. Too bad.
It let's the movie breathe and some of the complaints they had are addressed. It isn't as extreme as Zack Snyder's JL, but it's probably a close second to how much of a difference it makes.
Totally agree, the director’s cut is far better. Not saying it becomes great but it does make it a pretty solid movie. MCD as kingpin is just fantastic to me also & bullseye a fun crazy.
Also, it actually confirms Mederith Grey was Karen if I'm not mistaken.
When I saw the directors cut, I was shocked. It felt like they put the A story back in the movie.
Very much appreciate Holden prepping Jen for Secret Wars early on so she can do the DiCaprio 'point and recognize at the screen' whenever that movie rolls around.
I love how genuinely happy Jen gets every time she sees San Lee in a movie. It's absolutely adorable!!!
is san lee stans lee's asian cousin
@@TheDavidDouchebag 😂
San lee HIYAAAAA
😂😂😂😂😂
One of these days Holden will tell her what a complete credit-stealing jackass he was and break her heart.
This movie alongside Spider Man and X-Men are movies that I just grew up with. I loved them! As I got older I started to realize that some were better then others 😅 but even now at 28 years old I can't help but love this movie. I rewatch it all the time when I have my Marvel marathons 😅
This movie has a strong first and third act. the middle has just a little bit too much camp, like the play ground fight. If they had kept it a bit more consistently dark, it actually would have been super good. Overall, though, im with you. I love it despite the flaws! The design/tone/music all hit the spot for me!!
They're ALL bad. Some are just slightly worse. Lets be real.
@@Pacer1010 You need to watch the Directors cut of this movie. It's actually a lot better, darker, and has better pacing as well.
@@RevCQ7 crazy statement
Bullseye & Kingpin are the saving graces of this movie. Both actors are clearly having fun with the roles. And Bullseye is surprisingly INCREDIBLY comic accurate, as the villain in the comics is theatrically over-the-top and a famous frenemy of Deadpool (even one of the few people to match his level of crazy). He's up there with Carnage & Joker as villains who love being evil just for evil's sake
Yeah, as fantastic as Bullseye in season 3 is, he's pretty different to the comics.
@@tortoiseoflegends4466 Yeah, he was amazing, but not very Bullseye (save for the final episode)
Colin Farrell was great in this.
@@tortoiseoflegends4466 He was an improvement really. Cause the show is that good.
jon favreau was having fun as foggy too had some great lines
"Should we watch Catwoman?"
YES YES A 1000 times yes! Crappy movies are ripe for reactions AND they make you appreciate good movies even more just by how competent they are. A balance of good and terrible is always a welcomed mix.
Jen sitting through Batman & Robin would be a hilarious thumbnail on its own.
I never even thought of that Catwoman movie as a crap movie.
Plus Halle Berry in that suit...chef's kiss.
I think they should watch bad superhero movies like morbius
The comedic value of Jen experiencing Catwoman and Batman & Robin would be off the charts.
The version of Elektra in this movie is far more accurate to the comic book version than the TV series is. She was massively changed in the series.
Also appreciate how it was Bullseye who killed her like in the comics. Her death in the show was quite underwhelming, even when the show itself overall is a better adaption.
Watching Ben as Daredevil really makes you realize how good Charlie Cox is at acting blind with his eyes
Pretty sure Ben also consulted the blind community in how to act. Just didn't get enough time to act the part in comparison :p
@@jarlhenrik probably was going to bars while visiting the community lol
Actually Ben Affleck is fantastic in the movie and did what he could with the script, dialogue, and the 1 hour 43 minute run time.
Agreed! 🙏🏽
@@Dr.Knowledge101 Exactly. He was good as Daredevil so that is why they chose him as Batman.
Its so infectious to see how much of a good time Holden and Jen were having, just constant fits of laughter throughout great video😂❤
To answer Jen’s question regarding Matt’s ethics in the comics. Matt actively tries not to kill criminals but he HAS killed one or two people in the beginning of his vigilante career but since then tries not to.
He recently killed someone by accident in the comics. It was a HUGE thing where all the heroes of NYC were trying to get him to quit. When Spider-Man shows up...👀🔥
@@CrossOutBryceooooo 😮 which comic is it?
@@echo2659 Zdarsky's first Daredevil run
Props to Colin Farrell for knowing the silly movie he's in and camping it up. As a Daredevil reader, this movie did nothing for the character to me, but Farrell's performance is such a joy to watch it becomes a once a year viewing. His facial expressions and beyond cheese movements elevate the experience.
him pointing at his forehead going Ahh??ahhhhh? and with his tongue is my favourite moment🤣🤣
My favourite Kevin Smith story is how he ended up protesting Dogma himself. A local church was protesting it, so he and a friend both made signs and joined the protest, which was fine until reporters showed up, recognised him, and asked for an interview. He didn't skip a beat, accepted the interview, didn't admit to being Kevin Smith and just hammed it up for the camera, the clip from the news show is still on UA-cam, it's great, they didn't believe him for a heartbeat :D
24:10 the hardest I’ve heard holden laugh 😂😂😂😂
I love this movie. I love the campiness and I really love the parts that mimic the comic. Elektra's death scene was epic!
Jennifer garmer and givem a eıektra. daredevil comic dex Bullseye killed eıektra and the Daredevil , colin character Bullsye killing Garner like Daredevil the comic b
Roger Ebert praised Michael Clarke Duncan for his role as Kingpin, stating, "He's so big and menacing this is the type of villain you do not want to mess with or meet in a dark alley."
The movie is closer to the comic. In the comics, Daredevil tried not to kill people but he ended up killing them. One of the people he killed in the comics was Bulleyes. Also, in the comic Bullseye has a bullseye on his head but it's part of the suit.
The directors cut is way better.. seen this movie back when it first came out, and fast forward to the year 2022 and I watched the directors cut of Daredevil for the first time, and it had a much darker tone and gave me a new appreciation for the movie. It's definitely a classic. 💯
I have a soft spot for this movie while the Netflix Daredevil is untouchable I enjoyed this especially in the early 2000s this film had a edge and darkness that modern MCU films can't touch also the soundtrack is fire
So glad Holden is educating Jen before the whole MCU took over with earlier Marvel films, critics gave this film 3 out of 4 stars, so it had virtually everything they were looking for. I did enjoy this one and have the director's cut of it which has an R rating. I assume Elektra is next. Nice reaction guys.
It's a rating out of 5 stars, though, not 4. So 3 out of 5 seems fairly above average. Good, not great.
Yea 3 out of 4 is just not true lol. To say it had virtually everything they were looking for is just again not true but fun to look back at
@@ochayethenoo I agree. I think the critics say that the film was good, not perfect.
@@Jim-Halp1234 Props Jim.
So is this channel doing *ARCANE* reactions??? The big success (TV series) that started 2021
13:34 - Technically, long before Batman said in _Batman Begins_ , this Daredevil said: “I Won’t Kill You, But I Don’t Have to Save You!”
20:20 - That is why you should have watch the Director's cut: In it, Daredevil leaves her on the roof to take care of the criminals.
22:13 I swear, the Bullseye moments had me laughing 😂😂
A lot of the early 2000’s superhero movies just have that charm that makes them fun to revisit.
If I had a nickel for every time Ben Affleck played a superhero who in the comics had a no kill rule but in the movie killed people I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
omfg the smash cut edit between Matt Murdock breaking shit in his apartment to Tommy Wiseau in The Room... i fucking guffawed
Please watch the Elektra movie as well. I grew up with all these early 2000s movies so they all hold a special place in my movie library.
I was 12 years old when this movie came out, and for it's time this movie blew my mind! It was my introduction to the Daredevil character and I freaking loved it. I'm 31 now, getting older I do see the issues with it, especially seeing the Netflix Daredevil series but I still really enjoy this movie regardless. I do recommend watching the Director's Cut of this movie, it actually makes the movie a lot better.
I kind of want to see Jen watch the Elektra solo movie. haha it's really really bad.
And I'm with Holden here, I really like how Matt does actually kill someone and then after seeing the kid crying in the corner, self reflecting, and saying that he isn't the bad guy. I do think that is a nice touch to his character.
I could watch Colin Farrell as Bullseye all day!! He's so much fun to watch. Just let him loose and give him the freedom to do whatever he wants for the the role! lmao
My wifi went out and the video actually froze at 17:15. I thought it was an editors joke tossed in.. perfectly hilarious timing!
Not going to lie, watching this with you 2 was more entertaining than the movie itself 😂🙏🏼
I did however grow up with this movie! Cringe as ever but it’s the daredevil I knew! Lol
I don't care what everyone said. This is the movie that introduced me to Daredevil and the whole western superheroes comics thing when I was a kid. So even though it is cheesy, it still has a special place in my heart. =]]]]
My TV is convinced that Jen is saying "Alexa" every time she says "Elektra."
You caught the Romita reference, but there was also a reference to former Daredevil artist (and, at the time of the movie, Editor-in-Chief at Marvel) Joe Quesada.
Also, Kevin Smith did a stint writing Daredevil, and his character's name in the movie was Jack Kirby.
Frank Miller - who created Elektra and revitalized Daredevil's comic and made it popular - also made an appearance as the guy Bullseye kills with a pen.
I have so many good memories with these old super hero movies bc it’s all we had when we were kids and I always imaged what it would look like with Tobeys Spider-Man, Cages Ghost Rider, Hugh Wolverine and Afflecks Daredevil together lol
The cool thing is that Daredevil was based on Batman. And Ben Affleck played them in reverse. Also, the bullseye on his head is comic book accurate. I actually don't think this portrail is all that bad. Daredevil has killed in the comics, Batman has too, even though his general rule is not to kill. Same as Superman.
For the ridiculousness of this movie, I super appreciate how Elektra's death is pulled DIRECTLY from the comics, to the point that the tip of her sai is pushing the back of her top off her back (only difference is the costumes).
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan. He's my favourite in this movie. Everyone's hamming it up a bit (or a lot), but he's doing it the best.
Jen's makeup is ON POINT today! 🔥
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. You're right about the subway being empty. Even 50th St which is where they're supposed to be has people in it 24/7
Just some comic info, a lot of the stuff you're associating with Batman to Daredevil, is because a portion of the Batman mythos that became popular was based on Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns in the 80s. But Frank Miller before he did that, was responsible for turning Daredevil into a popular hero in the late 70s and 80s. He's the one who turned Kingpin from a Primary Spider-Man villain into a 60% Daredevil,40% Spider-Man villain. He's the one who created Elektra and had her killed by Bullseye. Made Matt's Catholicism a big part of the character. Had Karen Paige eventually become a drug addict who sells Daredevil's Identity to the Kingpin. Basically Turned Daredevil into this action noir comic. Until then, Daredevil had basically been discount Spider-Man in the comics. Also because of that, Daredevil and Batman were Ben Affleck's (Ben was a comics reader just like his then friend, Director Kevin Smith, who not only had a cameo in the movie, at this time was writing a seminal run in the Daredevil comics called Guardian Devil) top 2 favorite comic heroes, and that's why he jumped at the chance to play both of them.
In the comics, Daredevil has super hearing , but he also has this thing called radar sense, where basically he has a 360 radar image of the world. The movie decided to change it to Sonar, and the TV show never tackled it, probably for budgetary reasons. But funny enough, the 80's TV movie, Trial of the Incredible Hulk, where Rex Smith (Street Hawk) played Daredevil, they gave him his Radar sense, which is kind of his main power from the accident that caused him to lose his sight. That's why when he's drawn, you often see these circles drawn around him, visualizing the radar sense.
Last, the Burning DD symbol was just a take on the something done in the 1994 movie the Crow (which was based on a comic). They decided to copy it in this, just because it looked cool. Though it made no sense.
You should show Jen How Daredevil and Elektra look in the comics.
And Frank Miller is actually in the movie! He's the dude that keels over dead when Bullseye is stealing the bike.
DareDevil don't usually kill in the comics. But in the movie it plays a role, as Holden said it's his arc. He starts more brutal, but then realizes he is on a dark path and after that scene where he "sees" the boy afraid of him he realizes he is becoming a bad guy. So after that he stops killing, as shown in the end where he spares Kingpin... After having just killed Bullseye...
I still find it funny that the two superheroes that Ben Affleck plays in live action, that are famously known for not killing, he plays as murderers that are mostly indifferent to their actions, and have to have an arc about learning not to by complete monsters.
@@thechad4485 yeah the thing about his Batman it that he lost himself in a "war" against crime, but after superman's death he was on his path of becoming a better man, but this was poorly shown and since they stopped making movies, his redemption arc never happened
@@localhobo5362 Still funny that he’ll slaughter random goons left and right, but refused to kill literally every single supervillain, including the one that murdered Jason. An interesting yet lazily written arc that went nowhere.
@@thechad4485 It's Dick Grayson that gets killed in that universe, and Ben's Batman had only just started "killing" (it's more like recklessness than outright murder), also he had never encountered Joker after that started.
Omg that Will Ferrell Office clip killed that scene for me! Just perfect.
This movie is some 2000s cheese. I really hope you guys react to season 3 of DD sometime soon. Every time I watch that season, I get chills. It’s so ridiculously good
I feel like Ben and Charlie did great as daredevil.
I gotta say, watching "not so great" movies with you guys is the best hahahhaha and Holden's imitation of Hector... chef's kiss
I was already a grown up when this was released. It was this really annoying phase of superhero movies where they just couldn’t quite hit the bullseye. This was one of them. However, I thoroughly enjoy the Evanescence training montage. I think they really liked the song and built the scene around it. Hilarious.
The thing about the comic accuracy is that the movie carries the tone that most of the comics, because Daredevil is very ridiculous most of the time, like Spider-Man comics, but with a bit more edge... except a big problem was the killing (Matt's a lawyer and a Catholic, so that's a hard no go, Ben Affleck always gets stuck with versions of famous heroes who don't kill, who start out doing so lol). Elektra is so off in this movie, and the show nails it for the most part.
Bullseye is kinda spot on the comics, but he usually wears a costume that hasn't changed in like 40 years.
The reason Kevin Smith had a cameo because of course, he's a massive fan, and also wrote Guardian Devil, one of the best and most famous Daredevil stories at the time of this movie.
Jen should be Elektra for Halloween this year. Holden can be Matt in a suit with red glasses and a cane.
@21:14 -- don't forget frank miller's cameo, credited as ... [drumroll] ... "man with pen in head"
Im surprised you didnt continue the spiderman jokes when they shot that scene at 27:10 since Bullseye rang the bell and it hurt Daredevil like it did Venom in Spiderman 3
Comparing Bullseye from here to the show it’s really interesting to see how different a take on a character you can have - both are psychopaths with perfect aim but feel so different
The comics version of Bullseye was always sadistic and Joker level insane. In fact, many times Daredevil and Bullseye are compared to Batman and Joker. Lol I don't think this film did him much justice though.
its funny, jennifer garner's elektra looks identical to the comic version.....but she not a good elektra. the shot of bullseye stabbing elektra is from the comics too
Hey, Holden.
Thanks for catching Jen up on the films made by other studios using Marvel characters.
YALL ARE DROPPING THE HEAT THIS IS MY SHIT I LOVE THIS MOVIE GREAT REACTION
not holden setting up his disclaimer invincibility shield in the last 5 secs 💀
So going full off topic here, but you were talking about your favorite Batman movies and I was wondering if you ever saw "Batman: Under the Red Hood" and if not: maybe that could be a great reaction video!
I'm not a big Batman fan, but I really really liked this animated movie, it picks up on some of my gripes I have with Batman and turns them into plot points, it has insanely strong acting and some of the hardest hitting emotional scenes in a batman movie ever, even while Mark Hamill didn't play the Joker anymore.
Jensen Ackles, Bruce Greenwood, John DiMaggio, Bruce Timm, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Isaacs.. such a fantastic cast.
I really recommend this movie
The 'Director's Cut' of this movie it's actually pretty good. It still has some early 2000s superhero movie cheesieness, but the overall story and character arcs are much stronger than what we got in the theatrical version.
I kinda liked that they modernized aspects of this film from the comics, like not focusing on his religious background as the real modern world slowly realizes that none of the gods are real. Meant I could get more invested in DD's world. That's just me though. I'm sure others will have reasons, equally valid for them.
I am so jealous of the relationship you two have. Stay Awesome!
Now that you guys watched season 2, you guys should watch The Punisher movies
Colin Farrell absolutely saves this movie for me, everyone is so morose and serious and he's just chewing the scenery, I love it!
One thing I wish the netflix series did, was show Daredevils point of view. He sees the world on fire and idk wish they visualized that more. They only showed it ONE episode
I know the running joke here with the pronunciation of names. But your pronunciation of Gruffudd for Ioan Gruffudd is adorable.
FYI only if you're interested - Gruffudd is a Welsh thing, the "dd" make a soft "th" sound. I'm not gonna mention the "ch" sound in Welsh. I haven't found an easier explanation than "furball noise". (I'm Welsh... and I don't even know)
Halle Berry won the Razzle with is the opposite of an Oscar. She actually showed up to accept it. Also the bully in the beginning of this movie was Tony Soprano's son. In the comics Bullseye wears a black suit with kind of a cowl and on the forehead it has a white bullseye.
I'm not liking how judgemental Jen is to Jennifer's elektra... The girl in the show sucked compared to Jen
I legit loved Colin Ferrel in this movie, great video guys! Thanks for the content!
Favreau had an interview show in the early 2000s, and had the Daredevil cast on the show; Ben, Jennifer, Colin, Kevin Smith, and Jennifer was obviously in love with Ben at the time. Well before they were dating.
@24:25 no way Holden referenced that one Batman CollegeHumor video XDXD
Y’all ended up posting this on the exact 20th anniversary of this movie
The 2 most egregious uses of a symbol reveal are In the Mask of Zorro, and the first Punisher movie, Frank would have to have had is a physics doctorate to pull it off the way it happens. You may not know, but apparently the suit in this movie was all black, and they used color add later on to make it partially red.
Oh my god, Holden’s cracking up had me dying so hard 😂😂😂
I have never read a daredevil comic, but I have been told that the visual representation of HOW Matt sees is MOST accurate in this movie. The Charlie Cox one I don't ever remember them showing us his POV so I can only take other people's word for it.
They did when he was with Clarie he said he see’s the world on fire
@@KentrellJones1017 But they didn't SHIOW it though. I think that was the only description ever given. If they did show it I just don't remember.
@@patrickcromwell7554 They do show it. It looks like the world on fire.
@@DMFX1 Ah, well, like I said I don't remember seeing it. But, I still like the Ben Afleck, style most. I think showing it as a sort of sonar is best visually. But everyone has their preferences.
@@patrickcromwell7554 they did
The Elektra in this movie has not transformed into the Elektra in the series yet. She goes through a spiritual transformation and training from the most elite assassins in the Marvel universe after this movie.
10:11 Holden’s hector impression isn’t something I knew I needed 😂😂😂😂
Funnily enough Ben & Kevin Smith were very close friends at this point & appeared on an episode of Dinner for Five together with Jennifer, Colin & Favreau. In it you could see both the early flirtations between Ben & Jen who were both in relationships as well as Jens dislike for Kevin & his & Bens friendship. After marrying Kevin and Ben drifted apart and wouldn’t become close again until after Bens divorce & Kevin’s heart attack. Just funny to see how relationships change when you add a new element into the mix.
You guys should watch the Crow if you gonna watch all the old superhero movies.
The director’s cut is way better. Shows more of Murdock being a lawyer.
I’d love to see you watch the 90’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Their origin story is connected to Daredevil
Truthfully, I can more see this being in the same Universe as the Raimi Trilogy. Not just because of Spider-Man The New Animated Series, but the feel that this movie had.
Come on Ghost Rider
Also, the part where bullseye stabs Elektra is comic accurate actually stabs her just like that
While obviously this isn't the "best" interpretation of Dare Devil by any stretch of the imagination, I actually quite liked the suit, and the visuals of how Matt "sees". Thought those were pretty interesting things. Also King Pin being played by Michael Clarke Duncan is amazing and I think he fits that character well. The soundtrack was also quite good and some of the action sequences even hold up today.
That being said, a lot of the acting is pretty hokey and some of the plot is not all the there... still. Could be a lot worse and isn't the worst comic book film I've ever seen.
Jen telling Holden to stop talking about Spider-Man is hilarious lmaoo she probably has heard Holden talk about Spider-Man a million times 🤣🤣🤣
Engaging reaction👍👍The director's cut is the better version compared to the theatrical cut, which I was fortunate to have watched first🧐
this is one of my all time favorite movies
I prefer to the netflix show but both have great things about them
I always have fun with this movie just seeing Collin Ferrals facical expressions in his scenes crack me up. I do really like how they show how Matt see;s things in the tv show they only show us once and mainly do the rest with sound effects and some blurred out motion which is great I like both methods but in terms of story telling and character growth the show shines and definately the action is shot well for a netflix budget can't wait for his new show!
With how much she disliked this version of the character, I need to see Jen react to the Elektra movie!
Director's Cut of the movie really fleshes it out. It had a hard time in development. I still like the Daredevil show better, but this is a guilty pleasure for me.
Colin Farrell as Bullseye is by far the best part of this movie.
I just want to thank you guys for being yourselves and staying true. i mean i assume you guys are, and if you're not then you both need oscars for your performance. but too many reactors feel like they arent being themselves and theyre purposely overreacting for views. i also appreciate you staying true to your beliefs even though not everyone will always agree, some youtubers allow themselves to be bullied into catering for all audiences instead of staying true.
The directors cut is way better you guys should of watched that one !
I understand the need for ads, but if you have a paid promotion in your video, is there way to stop the ads that UA-cam throws in?
The soundtrack from this movie has some bangers on it
WHY HAVEN'T Y'ALL DONE ELEKTRA FILM
WHY THE BLUE HELL Y’ALL DIDN’T WATCH THE DIRECTOR’S CUT?!?! That’s 10000000% the best version of the movie!! Everyone knows that!
The card throat cut and sai stab, on Elektra. Is right out of the comic. Almost scene for scene.
Will always love this movie
Ahh, that's too bad you didn't take the opportunity to try the Director's Cut. It is much better than the theatrical cut except 1 or 2 added scenes which I think they should have left out (like the redundant, 3rd introduction scene of Bullseye in the airport).
This Daredevil and this Electra are a past version, pryor to thier evolution that you saw before watching this movie.
This is one of the few times that a superhero movie has better villains than the actual heroes I thought.
Fun fact: I got this movie as VHS when I was a kid. The VHS distribution had problems, which caused the movie go on film in black and white. For many years I thought this movie was made in black and white. I still cannot unsee it with colors.
Definitely love to see you take on then punisher movie that cam out about this time
