WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

vchrash Action is too often not focused Too much cuts Too much slow motion Bad cgi (the snakes)The only very positive thing is Jennifer GarnerSo my advise is: better watch Daredevil (the directors cut)

Ilikehorrormovies I thought I'm going to like the film like screw what critic think but it's bad. I want to like this movie but there's a bunch of mistake like it look like a great movie. What the hell happen? The main problem of the film is there's to much going on and it's annoying. The story don't make sense and they're a lot of plot holes. It's boring to me. I like Daredevil (2003) but this spin off fails but I didn't watch the director's cut so I might watch the director's cut of Electra. I don't recommend this film at all.Score: 2.5/10

Marthian80 Elektra is about a woman (played by Jennifer Garner) who is a skilled assassin trained to look a short distance into the future to anticipate on what is going to happen next. She is haunted by the past and only lives for her job to kill the next target, having cut all bonds with family and friends. Her life changes drastically when she meets a single dad with a teenage daughter who are attacked by supernatural assassins.The story of the character Elektra is interesting but unfortunately this movie doesn't do anything with it. It doesn't explain anything about who Elektra is or what's troubling her from the past, she is just there to kill and show Garner's body in various poses. There is no chemistry between the other characters and they have the same depth as wooden planks. They try to create a bond between Abby Miller and Elektra but because it is forced upon us from nowhere and we have no idea who this Abby is, it just falls flat. The same goes for the romance subplot with Mark Miller (the single dad).There is some descent action here but the fight scenes seems to be lifted straight out of a computer game. The only thing missing is a voice over announcing; "Round 1, Fight!" "Elektra wins!". There is also very little background info provided about who the villains are and why the Miller family is hunted. They are just wooden planks to be picked off for Elektra. The final fights are also so laughable bad, you cannot take this movie seriously anymore at this point.

Leofwine_draca This supposed follow-up to DAREDEVIL omits one important component of that previous movie: no Ben Affleck. Instead the focus of the film falls on the rather boring, obsessive life of Elektra, Daredevil's attractive sidekick who actually died on a rooftop in that previous movie. But here she is resurrected from the dead by a blind martial arts master, fighting off various members of criminal gang The Hand who are after a young girl whose skills hold the secret to the future. In many respects, the plot resembles that of recent Jackie Chan flick THE MEDALLION, but incredibly it's even LIGHTER than in that film. Only shadowy clips go towards explaining our lead's decision to become a professional assassin, and of the bad guys, we have no idea of their past, except that an evil-looking Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOYKO) is leading them. Sadly, Tagawa – usually a great and sadistic villain – is relegated to sitting behind a desk in his few appearances here.ELEKTRA – for all its previews as a martial arts extravaganza – is light on action, heavy on plot less character-building. We learn a lot about a bleeding 14 year old girl (as soon as I saw her and her cringe-worthy 'bonding' with Elektra, I knew we were in trouble) but nothing very interesting. When the action comes, it takes jump-cuts and ruthless editing to the next level, resulting clumsy, messy fight sequences where you can't really see what's going on. I really expected more of Rob Bowman, who directed some atmospheric episodes of THE X-FILES a while ago.Jennifer Garner is certainly attractive as Elektra – especially in her red suit – but she has nowhere to go and nothing to do. Even the actress herself reportedly slammed the film. E.R. doctor Goran Visnjic is handsome but empty as the father figure, and disappears about halfway through the movie, whilst the kid Prout is awful. The only other noteworthy is Terence Stamp as a blind master. As a commanding master, he's good; as blind, he's totally unbelievable.The bad guys are built up with special skills – one has stone skin, another has a deadly kiss – but incredibly, they die straight away and prove no match for our heroine whatsoever. The special effects are remarkably good, especially in the shape of one guy's tattoos which frequently come to life, but that can't save the film. Even the promise of a full-on ninja attack come the finale is cruelly destroyed as Elektra blows them up all at the same time (why the hell do they all jump into the same room anyway). The best bit of this slow-moving, long-winded film? Early on, when a ninja breaks his own neck rather than be captured. It's a classic scene in an otherwise uninteresting and poorly-conceived effort.
