Elektra Details

if u like x-men then get this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Jennifer Garner was great in 13 going on 30 and considering this title is in totally a different league to that one she plays Elektra with style. Appearing in Daredevil in which she died, you learn in this one that she was brought back to life by Stick (her mentor). After having nowhere to go she turns to the one thing she's great at, killing for a living. When a job comes up where she has to kill a father and his daughter who she has recently befriended she cannot go through with it and from there the story of Elektra and her new friends begin to unravel. This movie - Elektra is similar to Daredevil & Hulk so if you enjoyed those then this is one for you to watch.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Short circuits

Having been a big fan of the Daredevil comics when I was a kid, I was soooo looking forward to the Daredevil movie. It was okay, but too shallow in too many places. I was sorely disappointed - the whole thing that held the comic-book character - his 'ordinary extraordinary-ness' if you will - was missed. That Elektra dies at the end was sad and seemed like an attempt to add some emotional depth.

So seeing Elektra scheduled for a movie of her own, some of that old hope glimmered anew.

Although there are some things to commend the film (some action sequences, the tight costume Garner wears, the villans) there is much more that brings it down. Although Garner seems to cope reasonably well with some of the action sequences, she lacks the depth of control as an actor to really flesh out the character (a somewhat different skill to just fleshing out that costume!).

Her conversion to 'the light' and the time spent in finding her soul drag.

Needed more work, guys.
