RESTORED TO LIFE AFTER SUSTAINING MORTAL WOUNDS IN DAREDEVIL, AN ICY SOLITARY ELEKTRA NOW LIVES ONLY FOR DEATH AS THE WORLD'S MOST LETHAL ASSASSIN. USING HER BONECRUNCHING MARTIAL ARTSSKILLS & ABILITY TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE. ELEKTRA IS ON ACOLLISION COURSE WITH DARKNESS.
Amazon.com:
While 2003's Daredevil was a conventional superhero movie, the 2005 spinoff, Elektra, is more of a wuxia-styled martial arts/fantasy flick. Elektra (Jennifer Garner) has returned to her life as a hired assassin, but she balks at an assignment to kill a single father (Goran Visnjic, ER) and his teenage daughter (Kirsten Prout). That makes her the target of the Hand, an organization of murderous ninjas, scheming corporate types, and a band of stylish supervillains seeking to eliminate Elektra and tip the balance of power in the ongoing battle of good vs. evil.
As the star of Alias, Garner has proven that she can kick butt with the best of them, and some of the visual effects are impressive, but the action sequences tend to be anticlimactic, and there's not much to the story. Fans will notice numerous references to Frank Miller's comic books, but there's very little resemblance to Miller's cold-blooded killer (Elektra with an agent? Elektra referring to herself as a "soccer mom"?).
Is Elektra better than Daredevil? Not really, even with the distinct advantage of having all Garner and no Ben Affleck. That could be the spinoff's greatest disappointment: after Spider-Man 2 raised the bar for comic-book movies, Elektra lowered it back to Daredevil's level. Directed by Rob Bowman (the X-Files movie), and featuring Terence Stamp as the mysterious mentor Stick, Will Yun Lee (Die Another Day) as the chief villain, and NFL-player-turned-mixed-martial-arts-champion Bob Sapp as the immovable Stone.
DVD features
Ben Affleck's much-rumored cameo is one of the deleted scenes on the Elektra DVD. It's a one-minute throwaway, and while he's supposedly appearing as Matt Murdock (who romanced Elektra in Daredevil), the barrage of celebrity gossip makes it impossible to see him as anything other than Jennifer Garner's real-life boyfriend. There's also a making-of featurette, which is mostly promotional hype other than a few interesting effects shots; four editing featurettes; and Jennifer Garner's videotaped message to ComicCon. --David Horiuchi

- No Honor In SpinoffI was watching the director's cut of the film and thinking, "Wow, this is violent". People were getting pierced through the chest, blood was seeping in the weapons, and there was a brief decapitation, yet why were the bad guys turn into green smoke when they're killed? The movie never explained why they evaporate into green gas, so there's no point for the violent director's cut to not just leave them as corpses. It's about as pointless as the making of this movie.

- JENNIFER AT HER FINESTThis is one of Jennifer Garner's finest movies. Made as a sequal to "DARE DEVIL" which stared both her and her now husband Ben Affleck, she goes well beyond the first movie. This tells how she was brought back to life (she was killed by Bullseye in the first movie) and the progression of Elektra's carreer past that point. Her martial arts moves go way beyond what you saw of her on her TV series "ALIAS" and she has put her heart and soul into the role. Shot on a very short schedule due to Miss Garner's ... Read More

- NOT AS BAD AS you might think...not good, but not that badI know it's damning with faint praise, but "Elektra," while not exactly good, isn't nearly as horrible as many make it out to be. Compared to Frank Miller's Elektra, it's indeed crap -- taken on its own terms, as a silly, mildly diverting action movie, it's OK. (Better than the Fantastic Four movie, that's for sure...tho that's not saying a lot.)

- ElektraThis movie was good. Jennifer Garner is one of the reasons why this movie is good. She does a great job of presenting a cold, darker version of Elektra . Her performance to me was not flawed in any manner. In fact the cast overall was decent. The story was very oringinal, and did keep my attention. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Marvel's super hero's.

- Elektra... Red Bustier? At least Daredevil had an excuse.... he was blind.Elektra: 4 out of 10: When people said Jennifer Garner, as Elektra, was the best thing in the movie Daredevil. I'm pretty sure they were mostly damning with faint praise. After all Jennifer, while certainly an attractive female, came across as a sorority pledge playing dress-up on S and M rush night.
In Elektra she looks even more ridiculous. There have been plenty of great female assassins over the years from the camp of a Bond villain, to the seductiveness of Linda Fiorentino, even the girl ... Read More
