Der als Kind erblindete Matt Murdock kämpft im New Yorker Stadtteil Hell's Kitchen gegen Unrecht und Verbrechen – tagsüber als Anwalt, nachts als Superheld Daredevil. (Netflix)
Kritiken (9)
Alles, was Marvelfilmen auf der großen Leinwand fehlt, hat Daredevil in dreizehn gut aufgebaute Episoden gepackt, die weder dazu abrutschen, zu langweilen oder Zeit zu schinden, denn sowohl eine regelrechte Welle an hervorragend besetzten Nebenfiguren, als auch der großartige Konflikt zwischen Gut und Böse treiben das Ganze an ... aber die Frage lautet doch eigentlich ... können wir in Hell's Kitchen über etwas Ähnliches denn überhaupt sprechen? Der Bösewicht Fisk ist völlig im Gegensatz zu Marvel-Filmkanon mit einer nahezu biblischen Ambivalenz zwischen Liebe und Hass, Zärtlichkeit und Grausamkeit aufgebaut, und Matt zweifelt von Anfang an, wie das Gute denn eigentlich Oberhand gewinnen soll. Somit bietet die Serie den Zuschauern zwei Antworten auf die Frage nach dem Gut und Böse - eine kurze und eine sehr lange. Doch zu allen (begründeten) Comic-Klischees führt eine sehr anspruchsvolle und unvorhersehbare Reise, die von großartiger Regie sowie einer ungewöhnlich spektakulären Auffassung von Kämpfen von Mann gegen Mann im Fernsehen geprägt sind. Manchmal ist man da geneigt zu hinterfragen, wie denn die Menschen in The Avengers-Welt solch erdbehaftete und reale Probleme haben können. Daredevil wiegt sein soziales Niveau mit ikonischem Licht aus, aber dennoch überwiegt stets der Eindruck, dass es sich um einen "Rea Deal" und nicht um einen Eskapismus handelt. Umso berauschender wirken da die Momente, in welchen die Symbolik im Vergleich zu übermäßig komplexen Tatsachen triumphiert, wo keine Sterilität oder Zweidimensionalität des Iron Man, Capa oder anderen vorherrscht. Für mich dies der beste comicbasierte Film seit den Zeiten des Dark Knights. Ganz zweifelsohne. Drew Goddard ist ein Meister seines Fachs.

"Ist es wirklich so gut?" Genau diese Frage habe ich mir gestellt, als ich die Bewertungen hier und die Bewertungen auf IMDb gesehen habe. Ich bin kein großer Fan von Comics und um ehrlich zu sein, bevorzuge ich wahrscheinlich DCs Welt und Charaktere gegenüber der Marvels. Des gleichen habe auch einen für mich völlig durchschnittlichen Ben Affleck-Film gesehen, also war ich vorher sehr skeptisch, was gut war, ich hätte überraschter sein können. Praktisch von der ersten Folge an hauchte einen eine düstere und trübe Atmosphäre an, sofort hat mich die graue, von Korruption und Kriminalität geprägte Umgebung gepackt, und der Hauptheld gefiel mir praktisch auf Anhieb. Als zu dem charismatischen Helden sich ein vielleicht noch besserer und charismatischerer Bösewicht gesellte, den ich problemlos verstehen konnte und der ehrlich gesagt mir manchmal ganz schön leidtat, genoss ich ihre gegenseitigen Kämpfe und den Kampf um die Rettung der Stadt (beide meinten es doch ehrlich) haben es sehr genossen. Was die Brutalität und die Tatsache betrifft, dass wir manchmal einen Knochenbruch, eine eiternde Wunde oder Anweisungen sehen, wie man jemandem mit einer Autotür auf den Kopf abtrennt, war mir persönlich recht egal, eher habe ich es bei einer Serie mit so einer Atmosphäre erwartet (Schließlich würde man sich keine Blumensträuße schenken...). Ansonsten ist der vielleicht größte Vorteil dieses Werkes, dass es uns völlig problemlos und glaubhaft vor Augen führt, dass nichts schwarz und weiß ist und uns auch die Möglichkeit bietet, die Frage nach Moral und Ethik zu beurteilen (sprich, wie weit man in der Welt des Verbrechens gehen kann, ohne selber einer zu werden) und das in einer Form, die gewaltfrei ist und auch von weniger Geübten verstanden werden kann... Um es zusammenzufassen und um auf die ursprüngliche Frage zurückzukommen, mit der ich begonnen hatte: "Ist es wirklich so gut?“, Meine Antwort nach dem Anschauen der ersten Staffel lautet "Ja ist es“. 9/10

After three seasons I can say with a clear conscience that this TV show (even though it is considered by many to be one of the best collaborations between Marvel and Netflix) is not worth more than 3 stars. The atmosphere resembles Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, some action sequences prove that the creators are action movie lovers but overall, the show is very repetitive and the arrival of Punisher and Electra does nothing to salvage that. The first season introduced me into the world of the surprisingly not entirely heroic Daredevil, introduced a decent opponent Fisk but failed to make me connect to the main characters. The whole supernatural feel stems from the fact that Daredevil is blind and this blindness caused his other senses develop to the maximum. Okay, so the premise is pretty good. The second season brings Punisher and Electra back to the game. They opened Daredevil’s eyes a little bit but overall in the story they were pretty useless. The third season returns to the first season and renews fight with Fisk who was Daredevil’s only proper adversary, the show ended more or less in the place where it started. The only thing that left me with some kind of impression was the series of actional sequences, which saved the individual episodes many times. Not only were they very well filmed but they also looked well executed choreography-wise, and a lot of contemporary action movies could envy Daredevil in this respect. The rest, however, was mediocre.

He’s a lawyer who breaks the law. A Catholic who dresses as the devil. The biggest advantage of Netflix's Daredevil is, to a large extent, its biggest weakness too. The creators were completely openly inspired by the best authors of the Murdock Saga; Frank Miller, Brian Bendis and Mark Waid. So, this adaptation is just as dark, uncompromising, full of rain and blood, based on a gloomy atmosphere, slow-paced, shows fights where every punch hurts and addresses purely adult themes, erases all differences between black and white, as might be expected. The centerpiece and main driving force is Murdock's defense lawyer (in this respect he is the only hero who is interesting in everyday life but the creators did not take full advantage of it, sadly) and his concealed alter ego. It's not just another standardized, fluffy, colorful popcorn movie for the whole family, which Marvel has previously mass produced both for TV and cinema screens. Daredevil is a dark crime movie about organized crime and corruption. So this is the first time that Marvel is more interested in characters than (super) heroic tinsel. The problem is that as the creators adapt the individual lines/motifs in above-mentioned way, they fail make them sophisticated enough, and so many of seem unnatural and forced an in one case the character also fades away. The ambitious are high, so the movie mentions a lot of things but most of them have no continuation. What's more, there's no as fatal escalation between Murdock and Fisk, who mainly acts from behind the scenes, as would be appropriate given how excellent thy both are (and I must stress that D'Onofrio's Kingpin is the first bad guy ever of Marvel's universe who does the job, is interesting and respectful). This snag is even more unpleasant considering that other filmmakers have done it already in the same or maybe even better way. And not only in the movie department, but also in the television and it will remind you of Arrow, but Daredevil has more in common withPerson of Interest in terms of style, approach to action, how the moral principles and bad guys are addressed. After all, the local Elias is the same as Kingpin.| S1: 4/5 | S2: 4/5 | S3: 4/5

An impressive series, exactly to my taste, it makes my heart rate go up, my hair stand on end, and I grow old. Combining the dark corners of New York full of Russian mafia and corporations with a lawyer is tailor-made for me, and as a bonus there’s lots of blood and decent action, what more could you ask for (Marvel is not afraid of open fractures, heads being ripped off through car doors, or heads being smashed with bowling balls). Charlie Cox is likeable, his voice is chill-inducing and his skills and knowledge are admirable. The series keeps a decent pace throughout, supported by intelligent dialogue and a bleak atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone who is attracted to the following attributes in movies: mafia, drugs, hot chicks, corrupt cops, perfectly choreographed fights, thought-provoking dialogue and musings, trials, investigations, journalism, brutality and dark atmosphere, you won't have anything to complain about. If you don’t watch it you don’t exist.

Season 1 – 90% – It's quite unusual to venture into the Marvel world and not have special effects or snappy one-liners at every turn. It works perfectly in movies with the most famous favorites from the red publishing house, and just as well in the series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. And then along comes an inconspicuous guy with a blind cane who dresses in a dark tracksuit on his free nights, and everything is different. And yet, it's still excellent. The rumors were true, and Daredevil turned out to be a dark and shadowy coloring book, where every fight ends with the blood of one (or both) opponents, defeating an enemy doesn't necessarily mean beating the soul out of them, and where you can be sure that every mistake will cost you damn dearly. And thanks to the perfectly written dialogue, I'm truly certain of that. That's why even in episodes where it seems like nothing is happening and Matt isn't currently chasing any criminal element of any nationality, it's not advisable to be lulled by the seemingly very slow pace, even if you would prefer a higher frequency of fights, mysterious hints, or brilliantly acted monologues by Vincent D'Onofrio. The final quarter is such a deadly catharsis that waiting for the next heroic colleagues suddenly becomes more demanding. Welcome, guardian devil. Season 2 – 100% – Hell's Kitchen is just waiting for the high temperatures to ignite the inevitable spark, and the main characters are merely pieces on a terrifyingly large chessboard in the ensuing heat. I didn't believe that the scale of the series could exponentially increase, but it's true. Everyone has something to lose, every action has inevitable consequences, and the relationships between the main characters bring one heated moment after another, whether in a positive or negative sense. The biggest asset are the doubts and decisions of all involved. That's why I enjoy watching the main hero being pulled towards Karen as Matthew on one side, and towards Elektra as Daredevil on the other. A simple riddle and simple layering of identities results in an even more intense viewer experience. Even more fascinating is Karen herself, on one side connected with feelings for Matthew, and on the other, drawn by ideological harmony with The Punisher. And it is precisely there, in the person of Frank Castle, that the ace of the whole second adventure from the Marvel world lies. Jon Bernthal has fitted his avenger with the largest arsenal of weapons and such a tangible aura that he easily stole the entire season. I'm interested in all the characters, I'm rooting for all of them to the last second, but with the Punisher, I forget to breathe. A well-deserved spin-off. Season 3 – 90% – I definitely expected to spend long years with this red devil, during which he would once again meet all the partners from Hell's Kitchen and its surroundings, and hopefully even with some who have only hidden on the pages of comics so far. However, disagreements between those two giants Disney and Netflix have resulted in the opposite, and this last season proves how much of a huge loss it is. Luke Cage and Iron Fist were surprisingly dropped, but few people shed tears for them, whereas here it's noticeable how many storylines have been allowed to mature for years – and despite the reconciliatory ending, there was still a desire to continue at least once more. The most appealing thing is that it doesn't end on a grand note at all costs; on the contrary, compared to the ambitious second season, the action scenes or the scale of the plot have become unbelievably modest. Instead of a flood of ninjas and iconic antiheroes alongside the main hero, a damn stylish nemesis has arrived, one that even those who only accidentally stumbled upon Daredevil are familiar with. For some time Agent Pointdexter only resembles his prototype through his precise aim, but once the skeletons from the past start to emerge, it becomes clear that we're going very deep here. It's his toxic bond with Fisk, his tragically escalating relationship with (the discovery of the season) Nadeem, and his role as a mirror image of Matt himself that are the factors that make the final thirteen episodes a spectacle that, if not the best within the series, certainly unforgettable. The only downside is Foggy's family troubles, which hang tasks on his kindness in a clichéd and unworthy way. The rest is a carefully thought-out and, by Defenders universe standards, extraordinarily focused work that will be longingly missed.

I was hoping for something like this, the first episode gives me great expectations. The raw atmosphere of a horrible quarter of New York, greedy magnates, stylish heroes. I was particularly pleased with Charlie Cox who I was a little unsure about, but he turned out to be a charismatic powerhouse. If Marvel series all were like this, it would be wonderful. And now give me some R-rated Punisher action. Season two exceeds all expectations. Getting the Punisher involved is a great move and every confrontation with a devil from hells kitchen is worth it. Jon Bernthal is unrivaled as Frank Castle. At last the executioner gets some special treatment. Veteran crushed by losing his family, eliminating mafia low-life at last has the right depth. Add to that Electra and a mysterious plot by quiet warriors who drink kids’ blood. Breathtaking action scenes in every episode. Deborah Ann Woll finally has an intriguing storyline, Foggy stops being a blabbing waste of space and Matt slowly loses everything. Marvel’s Dark Knight. I look forward to the next season. Season three: A return to grassroots. The ninjas and Electra were fine, but confrontation with Fisk is much more personal for Murdock. Season three is very dismal, full of losses. It’s all about revelation of painful truths. The writing... great, with just a couple of exceptions, it perfectly captures character development from suicidal depression to balanced states and back again. Loads of emotionally intense scenes. Presentation of Bullseye works (Bethel’s acting is excellent) although he only distantly resembles his comic book likeness. The confrontation between the two rivals are exemplary and the fights take your breath away again. Top-notch TV.

An ambitious TV adaptation of a well-known comic book, in the spirit of the dark Batman universe made by Christopher Nolan, but lacking the proper epicness, sophistication of the characters and their motivations and, last but not least, a sufficient dose of drama and realism, which fades away over time, especially with the third series. Good stuff, but there’s no need for further episodes and, unlike Punisher, there’s probably no interest either.

A well-made series. The atmosphere is absolutely perfect. I love the cast, especially Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. As the main villain, he outshines all the other characters and steals the show for himself. Plus, the action scenes are not frantically overdone, the characters go through interesting development and the whole series is surprisingly civil despite being based on a comic book.
