The first must-see film of the year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I don't get all the hate for this movie, there is enough character development and plot that you care what happens to the characters, Garner is charming as always as Elektra. Plenty of story, plenty of action, likable characters, give it a shot with an open mind.

his was the follow up to Daredevil (2003). I guess it's the first attempt Kevin Feige and friends at Marvel to build various characters together. It failed miserably, but I'm glad that they came back for more.Elektra is not perfect, the dialogue is corny, the plot is rather slender and tries a little too hard to disguise that with childhood flashbacks and soul-searching complete with a rather pointless sub- plot and while impressively choreographed the final confrontation was somewhat anti-climatic. However, it is a visually stylish movie with great cinematography, fantastic locations cool costumes and fun special effects. I was impressed also with the choreography of the action sequences complete with some very clever stunt work, the surreal atmosphere Elektra created and the brooding soundtrack. There is effort to make the characters interesting, and the acting is decent enough. Jennifer Garner is attractive and does bring weight and charisma to the role, Goran Visjinc is surprisingly natural and Terrence Stamp is good and very commanding. The villains are subtle and have vitality, especially Stone, if underused. I didn't care for Kirsten Prout, too bland and annoying for my tastes. Overall, decent if nothing exceptional.

Jennifer Garner as Elektra is just amazing she is so beautiful and she makes the character her own. The effects are good, the enemies are good and the story is good a really underrated Marvel Movie. There's a really great deleted scene where Ben Affleck reprises his role as Matt Murdock and he visits Elektra as a dream and it was really great it should made the final cut. This film and Daredevil deserved a sequel too bad they never happened. At the end Elektra is not as great as Daredevil but still is a good film and it's a lot better than other superhero movies like Catwoman and Batman & Robin. A 9 out of 10 for me i liked it a lot.

Elektra (2005): Dir: Rob Bowman / Cast: Jennifer Garner, Terence Stamp, Goran Visnjic, Kirsten Prout, Will Yun Lee: Candy coated crap with only lavish production to gaze at. Elektra is a female assassin assigned to protect a father and daughter duo from a group called the Hand. These guys are bad. They are the kind of baddies who stole lunch money from smaller kids at school. Now they have demonic powers and Elektra finds it very difficult to perform her gift of ass kicking. The girl she is protecting is embarrassing especially when she leaps into action with powers of her own. Puh-lease! Director Rob Bowman makes things stylish while the screenwriter basically wrote what any kindergarten major would come up with. Jennifer Garner looks hot in her Elektra outfit but she is really there just to fight. She provides no personality to the role, and Terence Stamp is her blind mentor must have been so if he signed onto this project. Also featured in less than stellar performances are Goran Visnjic, Kirsten Prout and Will Yun Lee who will no doubt cross their agents off their Christmas giving list. While the special effects are passable, the film is about as suspenseful as an episode of Sesame Street. It is hardly a major comic book and its adaptation is among the worst of the lot. It was bad enough that she was featured in Daredevil. This is a pointless comic book crap that is less than electrifying. Score: 3 / 10
