This movie wasn't bad, it had it's moments. Althougth the story wasn't really glued together properly it was still pretty good. Jennifer delivered a great performance as being Electra once again. Being a spin-off of Daredevil I didn't really expect much,... Full review

Having a good actress in this film doesn't make this a good film. Elektra kicks butt, but everybody knows that. The difficulties elektra came across was no challenge. That's what made this film really disappointing for me because I was expecting... Full review

Why Fox decided to green light a secondary character from a Marvel franchise other than X-men is beyond me. A Wolverine movie would do big business- but instead, we get this. Not to sound totally negative here, but Elektra simply should... Full review

This movies greatest failure comes from trying to humanize Elektra. The opening sequence of this movie shows Elektra taking out an entire security force with ease to reach her target. We get the impression nothing can stop her, and then just... Full review

Devotees of awful filmmaking can't go wrong with this one.
Viewed in that light, though, the frenetic, flashy, absolutely empty "Elektra" is impressive.
But "Elektra," first out of their box this year, is as bad as they come.

It has some very nice action scenes and a formidable cast.
However, the lure of a larger audience and higher grosses let to a large number of cuts and "Daredevil" was released as a shorter PG-13 film that is far less epic and not as gritty as the original screenplay and direction had taken the story and its lead character.

Writer/director Mark Steven Johnson's final cut ended up as a bad mixture of a love story and a revenge story and the whole thing was put together in a way that made it all feel pointless -- the film was bad.
Now, the arrives on Blu-ray and, it's not a masterpiece by any means, but it is a far more palatable film.

ELEKTRA's mission as a film was to be better than DAREDEVIL, the benighted Ben Affleck vehicle in which the character of the knife-wielding super-heroine previously appeared.
Fans of Jennifer Garner will not be disappointed with ELEKTRA, which brings back that character from the dead with obvious hopes to launch a new franchise with it after debacle that was DAREDEVIL.
