My favourite Jennifer Garner movie after 13 Going On 30. ELEKTRA rocks!
Following the story after DareDevil and the mood it set, this turned out to be a mediocre grade film. Trying not to be harsh here, the mood is somewhat down, after the events in the most hated Marvel movie of the 2000's. Goran Visnjic is a character without superpowers, Terence Stamp is a great Stick character. But Jenifer Garner is her usual self, this time taking on the lead role. The story is somewhat predictable and monotone, If you have in mind today's Disney crap, but I'm sure that it was seen simply as a good movie back then.
You know what? I believe that many people have underestimated this movie. It was better than Daredevil and it was the first movie to emphasize that female superheroes are badass. It's a shame to see Goran Visnjic without any kind superpowers and he even publicly presented this view. I mean it's Goran Visnjic man! Sheesh! Anyhow, the plot was really comic-book-like and aside from Iron Man, the other Marvel movies lack gravity, they are all colorful (no matter how dark they are).

Excellent!
One of the best comic book movies I have seen.
So there I was, re-organizing my DVD movie collection... for those of you who know me and my husband, you know we love our movies and collecting them so we have a lot. Some, we buy because they're on sale cheap and plan to watch later (maybe years later). It took me a good portion of my weekend to re-organize them... I wanted a chickflick section, action, drama, comedy, christmas, tv series and comic book... I was nearing the end of my sorting and I came across a movie I bought for $5.00 still in it's shrink wrap. I had heard this movie was bad so I was never in any rush to watch it... but today I though "It would be a waste to never watch it.. might as well pop it on." BIG MISTAKE
One of the finest comic book adaptations ever, with tremendous action and a seriously sexy Garner in the lead. I'm ready for ELEKTRA II!!!
elektra is the best movie
Elektra was exactly what I expected it to be. A woman in a revealing, tight red outfit, fighting... and more fighting. This movie had potential had they strayed away from the cliche female cartoon superhero and explored more into the drama around her life. They `seemed` to try that, but they tried to fit too much of her past into too little time. I suppose they were only making this movie to be a standalone. You see, in Spiderman and X-men they took the time to flesh out the characters for the folks who never read the comic books. They even managed to fit in a plot and inevitably set themselves up for a sequel based on interest of the c
