 Jennifer Garner is understandably unable to make a lot of sense out of this. We get a lot of closeups in which we would identify with what she was thinking if we had any clue what that might be.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
The ridiculous red leather bondage outfit that appears on all the posters didn't appear until the final battle sequence; instead, the costume designers went more for flowing capes and cloaks, or even just regular street clothes.  --Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
Too much introspection, and not enough circumspection, Elektra often comes off as silly, nonsensical, and superficial, which for a film made by people who want us to reach deeper understandings and dramatic conclusions, proves to be a disaster.  --Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)

What might have been a solid popcorn flick about the classic fantasy elements of good and evil, redemption and forgiveness, is reduced to one that barely skirts schlock. --Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
Ready to be wowed by kick ass fight scenes and non-stop action? Check out the trailer for “Elektra” and skip the movie. All the best scenes are in the preview and there’s no need to waste your money on a film that’s a real drag. C--Rebecca Murray
...Giving a spec/polish script to a neophyte director and demanding a low-end vehicle for today's favorite eye-candy is not the way to bring superheroes to cinematic life. Just ask Halle Berry.  --Scott Weinberg (eFilmCritic.com)
