Better Than Daredevil

Elektra Movie Review

Director: Rob Bowman

Actors: Jennifer Garner, Terence Stamp, and Kristen Prout

Rated PG-13: For Action Violence

Recently deceased assassin Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner) is revived by the Order of the Hand, the crew of killers who trained her. Their leader, Kirigi, sends Elektra on a mission to kill Mark Miller (Goran Visnjic) and his young daughter, Abby. Soon, however, Elektra has befriended her would-be victims and decides to stand up to the Order, which then sentences her to death.

Elektra was an Ok film. Elektra had good Acting, Directing, Ok Special Effects, and Ok Writing. The plot is pretty ridiculous and full of clich�s, which is annoying, because for whatever reason, Hollywood continues to try to marginalize comic book characters by making it all a cut and dry battle between ultimate good and evil. It's like producers feel the need to dumb down every comic book movie because they think that people who read comic books don't like being challenged, but nothing can be further from the truth. The reason why Miller's original stories were so beloved were that they were intelligent and well crafted. Elektra isn't. Like The Hulk, it tries to be artsy and more dramatic, but it also takes itself way too seriously. I do think the Writing was weak from beginning to the end. Other than that I liked Elektra I do recommend only to fans of Daredevil, Elektra the Comic, or Jennifer.

Overall if you liked Daredevil, Elektra the comic book, or Jennifer Garner you'll like the movie.

Yes, I watched it, just to admire the utter insane buffaliciousness of Jennifer Garner and appreciate her sexy swordsmanship. I am ashamed for my sins and will do penance.
