The 10 worst fight scenes in superhero movies
By Ashley Hurst
Daredevil vs. Bullseye — Daredevil, 2003
Before Ben Affleck donned the iconic Batsuit in Batman v Superman and Justice League, he played the blind superhero Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, in the 2003 movie of the same name.
If you been meaning to watch this movie but haven’t yet, I don’t know why, because it’s not very good. It’s a much darker take on the superhero story than, say, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, which came out around the same time, but the execution is wide of the mark.
That’s never more clear than in Daredevil’s fight scene with Bullseye (Colin Farrell), who has the power to chuck things at people and never miss. He misses a lot when facing off against Daredevil. There’s very little tension; at no point does the audience actually fear that Murdock will lose his life. Instead, there’s a couple of cool special effects and acrobatic moves from the duo before Daredevil eventually wins after his opponent has a bullet shot through his hands. Then Daredevil throws him through a stained-glass window.
If you want to see a much more awesome Darevevil against Bullseye fight, you’d be better off reading the comics or watching their fight in the season 3 finale of the Daredevil show on Netflix.
