Elektra

Pros: Jennifer Garner. Kept my interest.
Cons: Some things weren't explained. Snakes in one scene.

There have been several movies made that were based on comic books over the years. I have seen and enjoyed many of those movies. It the last few years, several movies have been made featuring characters from Marvel comic books. Elektra is ...

Pros: Jennifer Garner
Cons: Supporting Cast, bad guys aren't bad enough

In the movie Daredevil, Jennifer Garner was killed, thus removing Elektra as a character for films of the future. Or so we thought at the time. Many people found Garner to be the only saving grace of a movie that failed to find its fan base. Myself, I ...

Pros: They got name right
Cons: Everything else

I am not going to lie at all. Jennifer Garner looks great in red leather outfit, but clothes don’t always make for a great film even if it is a superhero one. Then again calling Elektra a superhero(ine) is a big stretch. Assassin-for-hire or maybe ...

Pros: Some decent action, nice SFX, a touching moment at the end
Cons: Perdictable, canned, derivative, unfeeling, wrapped up way too quickly and easily

Jennifer Garner has a glowing smile. Which is made all the more so by how little she gets to use it in Elektra. This is one movie that struck me by the ads as little more than a big boob fest. Regal had already moved it to the smallest ...

Pros: Quick paced and great effects; Jennifer Garner and Goran Visnjic
Cons: Elektra's costume should have been leather instead of satin; predictable story

I won't pretend... I'm not a person who reads comic books or has to be the first in line to see every new action movie that comes out. I don't have the time or the money to really do it right, and I can be impatient with silly, repetitive story lines and ...

Pros: Sweet effects, beautiful camera shots, Jennifer Garner
Cons: Forced romance, script could be better

When I saw that soon after Daredevil, an Elektra spinoff was planned and Jennifer Garner was going to be retained, you knew I was eagerly anticipating the date. It finally arrived two days before my birthday. Nice present huh? This movie has ...

Pros: lush production values, good performances
Cons: slow beginning, muddled and derivative story

Like most Americans, I took a raincheck on Elektra when it was released in theaters. Panned by 93% of critics nationwide, it's not surprising the film tanked. It opened at number 5 in mid-January (a virtual graveyard of cinema, when mediocres film can ...

Pros: Lots of action, Garner's red outfit
Cons: Not much background story on the characters

Elektra is a spin-off of the Daredevil movie and is from Stan Lee, the man behind Spiderman, the X-Men, and many other famous comic book heroes. You don't need to have seen Daredevil to enjoy this movie, since they hardly seem to have anything to do ...

Pros: Garner looks good. Beautiful locations.
Cons: Everything else...and I mean everything.

Suspension of disbelief is a term that almost all movie goers are familiar with and when viewing a comic book adaptation, it's a prerequisite. You know you are about to see a film based on fantasy in which the normal rules of physics and science aren't ...

Pros: Tattoo is a great character. The comic->movie adaptation is stylistically successful. Jennifer Garner is gorgeous.
Cons: Extremely trite story that's easy to figure out.

I love comics. Yeah, they can be campy and trite, but they are one of those things that just epitomize nostalgia. Batman, S pider-Man, Gr een Arrow, Daredevil, ...

Pros: Jennifer Garner is hot
Cons: Pathetic script, boring, slow-paced, badly acted, weak ending, spits on an already tarnished Marvel image

I admired 2003's "Daredevil" up to a certain point but came shy of recommending it, because I felt the film neglected its characters for a cheesy romantic melodrama all too suitable for Ben Affleck. The character everyone talked about the most, Elekra ...

Pros: Decent action, Bob Sapp.
Cons: Felt rushed.

I must admit that the only reason I went to watch Elektra was because Bob Sapp played a minor role in it. In case you don't know (and that is probably the case), Bob Sapp is an ex-NFL player turned ultimate fighter/kickboxer/Japanese megastar. He ...

Pros: Jennifer Garner, fight sequences, special effects
Cons: Movie strongly relies on knowledge of the comic book.

"Elektra" (Jennifer Garner) is asked by her martial arts trainer, the blind "Stick" (Terence Stamp), to leave his training facility and becomes lost in the world she inhabits. "Electra" becomes a contract killer working for "McCabe" (Colin ...

Pros: Jennifer Garner is amazing. Great music. Decent story and good villains. Great acting.
Cons: It's not Xmen or Spidey 2. First 30 minutes could go a little faster.

Introduction: Jennifer Garner has the rare ability to truly reach out the the viewers in such a fashion that they feel her character's internal torment, conflict, and pain. Elektra is a good, entertaining movie and definitely worth watching. ...

Pros: Costuming, Acting, Villains, Character Development
Cons: Moments of Photography, Pacing

"Elektra" is a movie that I knew almost nothing about before going to see. Indeed, I believe that I had an almost ideal viewing of the movie because I have never read an "Elektra" comic book, I've never seen any shows with the character Elektra ...
