focused heavily on the romance between Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck) and Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner). It streamlined plot, removed a major subplot involving a murder trial, and turned a gritty, street-level hero into a PG-13 rock video.

So if you’ve only seen the 2003 version on cable or streaming, do this: Watch the trial scenes. Feel the weight of Matt’s failures. And realize that sometimes, the devil you think you know… you don’t. Final Rating (Director’s Cut): 7.5/10 – A flawed, fierce, fascinating superhero relic that deserves a second chance.
