| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Daredevil Movie Rating: 
Disappointing | |
| Blinded by toxic waste when he was a boy, lawyer Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck) now puts his radioactivally enhanced remaining senses to use every night as Daredevil, a vigilante crime fighter in a red leather suit. | |
| This surprisingly joyless action flick has him wooing Elektra (Jennifer Garner), a hyper-defensive martial-arts expert, while squaring off against the psychotic Bullseye (Colin Farrell) and Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan), the city's reigning crime boss. Numerous repetitive fight sequences, coming at breakneck speed and full of Matrix-style effects, murky lighting, and pounding metal, fail to fill in the script's Grand Canyon-sized plot holes. |
 Ben Affleck as Daredevil |
| Moreover, Affleck's uncharismatic superhero has to be the most wooden one to ever traipse across the silver screen. | |
