Daredevil's lady friend Elektra gets a solo outing in this insipid action adventure based on the spin-off Marvel comic book. Resuming events where the Ben Affleck vehicle ended, Jennifer Garner's kick-ass warrior is literally back from the dead and working as a hired assassin. But when she's asked to kill a father and daughter on the run from a supernatural martial arts syndicate known as The Hand, Elektra's past and conscience catch up with her. Cue lots of soul-searching and childhood flashbacks in an attempt to mask the plot's slenderness with emotion. When the fight action does erupt, it's unimpressive and quickly over, with the final confrontation between good and evil particularly anti-climactic. Although the film is glossy and stylish, Garner lacks the weight and charisma expected of her character and only the villains have any vitality, thanks to cool costumes and some fun SFX. As in Daredevil, however, they're sadly underused.

Just about the sexiest superhero film of all time ... butt-kicking extreme excitement and sizzling stunt sequences.

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.

Excrement
An action packed rollercoaster of entertainment.......sh*t, sorry, wrong film. This sucks. Elektra is on par with Daredevil, in that it is utterly crap. Flashbacks galore with a garnishing of over-stylised and boring fight sequences that involve a twelve year old brandishing a cheap necklace from Argos...apparently a useful weapon. The evil mob 'The Hand' come across as angsty teenagers, who seem only to be hindered by their exceptional powers. This film is worthy of nothing and is about as appealing as killing your own family. I dare you to rent it.

Earhart plane hijacked en-route to film set
- 24 Oct 2009
The vintage plane director Mira Nair used as Amelia Earhart's craft in biopic Amelia was hi-jacked en-route to the South African film shoot. The filmmaker threatened to give up food during the shoot if producers couldn't find her one of the actual Lockheed Elektras the famous aviator flew - but she had no idea it would be such a saga to get the plane from the south of France to the location in Cape Town. Nair tells WENN, "We located this Elektra in the south of France from this wonderful... Read more
