Well i must admit being a huge marvel fan and this was a film I was hugely looking forward too, was i dissapointed though? Maybe a little but make your own mind up. In case you didn't see Daredevil, Jennifer Garner(and Collin Farell as Bullseye)was it's only saving grace, it's not quite the case with Elektra but it is all her without a doubt. The plot, to be fair, is not really as bad as people have made out, especially as it's a comic book adaptation which some seem to forget. The script on the other hand leaves much to be desired. And to be fair so do the vast majority of the supporting characters. This of course leads to certain Miss Grner who carries this film superbly, she really does put in a sterling performance and puts evrything into the action.... And that is the other reason you should see this film, the fight scenes. Ayone with even a passing interest in maial arts/fighting should watch this.Some of the techniques just make you smile!!! I seen the making of and she does all the fighting herself!
My final opinion is that while not quite matching the X-men films it beats all the other comic book adaptations and does what it says on the tin. Go check it out and make your own opinion
If you hav read the other reviews you will know it has been said it's not as good as Daredevil!!!!Im sure your smart enough to realise Daredevil was pathetic-honestly,this is not!
