A dark, moody score May 28, 2003
Michael J. Mazza (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
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.
Dark but ultimately triumphant film score February 21, 2005

I admit I'm not a big fan of Graeme Revell. I have perhaps 4 of his scores in my collection of 350. I collect super-hero scores and Daredevil was no different except that it was pretty good. It captured the essence of Daredevil in a dark score that ultimately triumphs. Revell's main theme is enjoyable, but actually, the Murdock theme that plays in the quiet moments is what really gets to the heart of a super hero. I rate Daredevil higher than many other scores because it is interesting and different from many other score.
Somber And Interesting, Yet Somewhat Noisy February 4, 2006

Quite frankly, I enjoy superhero scores when they sound like opera, like "Superman-The Movie", or when they sound urban, like the Spider-Man scores. Unfortunately, "Daredevil" is like "Batman Begins": interesting moments, but with electronic noise that sometimes bother.
On the plus side, Graeme Revell presents a very interesting main theme for the Marvel hero; since we're talking about a vigilante that looks for justice at night like Batman, it's quite fitting that the theme sounds dark with a little nobility in the mix. 'Young Matt's Father' actually presents the theme for Matt Murdock's interrupted innocence as he is left blind by a batch of radioactive waste; the theme is simple and the use of the piano adds a little delicacy. Matt's dark side is best represented on the track 'The Darkest Hour', where Daredevil's theme is played in a way that we start feeling his loneliness and questioning whether his motives are worth it or not. Then we have the loveliest part of this score: 'Elektra' begins with guitar, combined with strings, a female voice, and a little of synthesizers; it's definitely touching without being cheesy.
On the minus side, I really hate the techno sound of 'The Kingpin' -it's completely annoying. And like the score for "Batman Begins", there is the electronic noise that I dislike when listening to an album, especially in the tracks 'Bullseye', 'Hell's Kitchen' and 'Nachio's Assassination'.
Graeme Revell's "Daredevil" has some interesting moments and has some moments that make me long for the classical epic scores of the past. Now in an age when film music is filled with electronics, eastern styles, and wailing women, I can't help but wonder where the music I'm so fond of is going to in the 21st century.
