A dark, moody score May 28, 2003
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
"Daredevil," the original motion picture score by Graeme Revell, is an interesting addition to one of my favorite musical genres: the superhero film score. Overall, this is a dark and somber score. There is good use of a choir and also some interesting multilayered percussion. Although much of the score struck me as subdued, the track entitled "The Kingpin" is noteworthy for its frenzied energy. The tender "Elektra" is an interesting counterpoint to other parts of the score. Although not my favorite superhero score, "Daredevil" is definitely worth listening to.
"Daredevil" is different and darker, but good. May 21, 2004

I wasn't familiar at all with Revell's previous work before I saw "Daredevil". But I was familiar with the other superhero themes that came before: Elfman's "Batman" and "Spider-Man", Williams' "Superman", Kamen's "X-Men" et al. When I first heard the theme for DD, I got a similar feeling I had listening to Elfman's "Batman", except I noticed it was a little darker in terms of mood. The two tracks I like are "Matt becomes Daredevil" and "Elektra". "Matt becomes Daredevil" is basically, DD's theme only played on electric guitar, which I did not expect and thoroughly enjoyed. "Elektra" is what I would consider the "love theme" of the score. I thought it was a touching, yet heartbreaking theme. Overall, I would put "Daredevil" maybe about 7 on the Top 10 hero themes I like. Enjoy.

This is a score that gets better each time I listen to it. Initially, I was bummed out that yet another Marvel superhero had gotten a movie that had a theme-free score. That's not precisely true. Graeme Revell has written several themes, and the main Daredevil theme is actually rather good. Still, it's hard not to be a little disappointed that old Hornhead doesn't have a great theme a la Superman or Batman. So if that's what you're looking for in this album, you'd best save your money. If, on the other hand, you are willing to accept Revell's textures and moodiness, this is worth checking out.
 DAREDEVIL SCORE March 6, 2003

I haven't even bought this cd yet but am a fan of Graeme Revell's music and I saw the movie and it has to be said that this is probally as good as the first two Batman scores which were done by Danny Elfman who if your ganna do a super hero movie you have to get him or now Revell who cathes somewhat of what made the two Batman scores great. With dark music that tells the story and keeps you in the movie. Revell adds his own blend in two this with his more traditional work like Con Air with the occational guitar riffs. His music is in some ways like Hans Zimmers and sticks to that as well. After dissapointing super hero scores like X-Men and Batman 3 & 4's scores this brings hope that director like Bryan Singer will see what music is out there in terms of scores and get with the program and get people like Revell, Zimmer and Elfman to do more of this kindda work. I have to say I was some what dissapointed with the remix of the Daredevil theme and didn't expect much of the score when I saw the movie but from the opening credits it proved me wrong. This is a must have to you comic book score collection.
Great Score that captures the essence of the movie... March 11, 2003

Being a pioneer in the world of movie score, I listen to several, and take notes (not literally) on what is good, and what isn't. A score is good when one is able to visualize in his/her head what is happening on screen at the time of the music. This is one thing that I noted when I listen to this score. It was like I was watching Daredevil again on my ride home from work. Although I am an advocate of putting movie dialogue in the score, and the DD score didn't provide us with any of the wonderful quotes we could have gotten, I still liked this score, and would place it at the top of my list, and reccommend it to any Daredevil fan.
