Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Smoreni Zmaj I feel need to see it once again to make sure I really saw what I saw. For a start, I have no idea what genre this movie is. It's not superhero movie, not drama, not romance, not action... It has a bit of all those genres but not nearly enough of any. Even by the standards of the action genre (which is by the way the lowest ranked genre on my scale) this is lame. Story is shallow, underdeveloped, full of unprovoked, unexplained and redundant elements. Characters are not even two-dimensional but transparent, acting is decent at best and, in my opinion, Jennifer Garner as Elektra is lousy choice. And the end... When they already made this movie the way they did, they should have stayed consistent to pathetic and end it with wedding of Elektra and Goran Višnjić. Then sell it to Disney and release it under "fairy- tale for teenage girls with lack of self- respect" genre. This way, movie has nothing to show for and it's not even bad enough to be entertaining. Mediocrity in the most offensive sense possible.4/10

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

Sam smith (sam_smithreview) his was the follow up to Daredevil (2003). I guess it's the first attempt Kevin Feige and friends at Marvel to build various characters together. It failed miserably, but I'm glad that they came back for more.Elektra is not perfect, the dialogue is corny, the plot is rather slender and tries a little too hard to disguise that with childhood flashbacks and soul-searching complete with a rather pointless sub- plot and while impressively choreographed the final confrontation was somewhat anti-climatic. However, it is a visually stylish movie with great cinematography, fantastic locations cool costumes and fun special effects. I was impressed also with the choreography of the action sequences complete with some very clever stunt work, the surreal atmosphere Elektra created and the brooding soundtrack. There is effort to make the characters interesting, and the acting is decent enough. Jennifer Garner is attractive and does bring weight and charisma to the role, Goran Visjinc is surprisingly natural and Terrence Stamp is good and very commanding. The villains are subtle and have vitality, especially Stone, if underused. I didn't care for Kirsten Prout, too bland and annoying for my tastes. Overall, decent if nothing exceptional.

grantss Pretty bad.After a near-death experience a government agent / superhero, Elektra (played by Jennifer Garner), retires to an island and, reluctantly at first, befriends her neighbours, a father and his teenage daughter. However, a criminal cartel is after her and they are using the best resources at their disposal...Was interesting, initially. The whole "agent retires and then is forced back into service due to the bad dudes who won't let her retire in peace" isn't that new, but it was interesting enough. The interest didn't last long. Pretty soon the movie resorted to lame, by-the-numbers, action scenes and supernatural villains, plus random turns of events that save the day.Even the action scenes aren't done very well. In an effort to blind us with all that impossible martial arts stuff that gets kids to watch a movie, the director speeds up the action scenes too much, and makes them unfocused and confusing.Avoid.
