...to blend them into the Elektra style. I'm not familiar with the comics, but the story was so disjointed and uninteresting that it in no way encouraged me to look out for them. The film is made by long time X Files director Rob Bowman, which initially made me think I'd enjoy it. I quite quickly found the opposite and the direction didn't really help to uncomplicated the story. There were too many needless flashbacks within the plot, where one would ... Read review

Advantages: Some nice effects and a couple of decent fights
Disadvantages: The shoddy script and sub-par performances

The problems begin when she is sent to kill a father and daughter, only to fall for her mark… Director Rob Bowman returns after the commercial disappointment of “Reign of Fire” with this spin-off of the Marvel franchise.

...good things from this film; Elektra was the most interesting character in “Daredevil” and Jennifer Garner has proved engaging in “Alias” and “13 Going on 30”. The director has made some strange assumptions about his audience; thinking that everyone viewing the film must have already seen “Daredevil” and therefore have some foreknowledge of the character. In fact he seems to have made a film strictly for the fanboys, as he introduces so many poorly ... Read review

Advantages: Good costumes
Disadvantages: Ham acting

From the moment I knew Elektra was coming to the big screen, I eagerly awaited it's arrival. From the outset it was clear to see I was going to be disappointed. Jennifer Garner (from tv's "alias") plays the indomitable Elektra, a highly trained fighter and assassin who, after being extradicted from her training camp and sensai, begins to get a grip of herself and life on the outside world. Elektra is hired to kill a man and his daughter - the details ...
...moment of "will-she, won't she", Elektra decides she will help Mr Miller and his daughter escape the clutches of "The Hand". That's the main premise. A bit vague and very basic to say the least. Directed by Rob Bowman, the man behind the X-Files, Elektra fails to deliver the excitement and hype it comanded. The acting in this film compares to that of Kylie Mingoue, Raul Julia and Jean-Claude Van Damme in "Street Fighter". It's bad. One thing that ... Read review

Advantages: Erm
Disadvantages: Boring, Slow, Not much happens

...of Elektra. Having been resurrected Elektra is trained by a blind tutor called Stick to be more badass than before. When Elektra takes on an assassination job she finds herself targeting a young girl and her father. They are wanted by a mysterious group known as 'The Hand' because the girl has some powers or something. This all leads to a bit of kung fu action where people have clearly been watching too many Asian films. The thing with Elektra is ...
...episode of Alias. Elektra is a boring waste of time that really shouldn't have made it to the big screen. The Daredevil movie was a pretty average affair so why they decided to make this movie is a mystery. Needless to say it was a resounding flop on its release. I would try and offer you more but there's not a lot to write about and even thinking about it coma inducing. If you decide to try this movie out on DVD then you will get an excellent ... Read review
