about Maverick 管家仔囉哩叭唆

Directed by: Mark Steven Johnson
Cast: Ben Affleck (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Jennifer Garner (Elektra), Colin Farrell (Bullseye)

Not as bad as some remember, but far from a classic either (hello Ben Affleck, hello Colin Farrell). Mark Steven Johnson was the director charged with bringing the Man Without Fear to the big screen, his previous experience writing Grumpy Old Men obviously convincing someone that he was the man for the job. Borrowing mainly from Frank Miller’s run, the movie focuses on Matt Murdock’s doomed relationship with the assassin Elektra (played by Affleck’s future wife Jennifer Garner). It’s not exactly remembered fondly by its stars, however. Affleck has since said: “Wearing a costume was a source of humiliation for me and something I wouldn’t want to do again soon.” Garner went on to play Elektra in the character’s own underwhelming spin-off (2005) and her ex-boyfriend, Michael Vartan was quoted afterwards as saying: “Jennifer told me it was awful. She had to do it because of Daredevil. It was in her contract.” The director’s cut, however, is very well regarded.
