Elektra Reviews |
The people behind ELEKTRA seem to have been mostly interested in the visual impact their flick would have than it what it had to say. 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. [read review] 
--Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
...but there’s still no mistaking some bad acting, silly dialogue and over-edited action flashbacks. Sure, Garner’s hot, but what does it say abut the credibility of everyone involved when one of the first glimpses we get of her character is of her ass? That pretty much sets the tone for the whole movie right there. Thanks, Fox. [read review] 
--Collin Souter (eFilmCritic.com)
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. [read review]
--Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)
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. [read review] C
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. [read review] 
That "Elektra" was produced on less than half the budget of "Daredevil" is painfully obvious from the long stretches without any action whatsoever and lots of incoherent babbling about The Hand's search for The Treasure. [read review] 
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
Elektra is a fast paced action filmed that’s not up to the snuff of X-Men or Spiderman, but an entertaining 90 minutes of Jennifer Gartner and friends kicking ass and learning about their childhood. [read review] C+
--Adam Biernat (TheCinemaSource)
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. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
...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. [read review]
--Scott Weinberg (eFilmCritic.com)
By the end of Elektra, I found myself hoping for an Affleck cameo in his Daredevil duds. Now when was the last time you ever thought Affleck's appearance in a movie would improve things? [read review] 
--Sean O'Connell (FilmCritic.com)
Elektra is easily the worst of Marvel's film offerings...I somewhat recommend it but only to hardcore fans. I didn't hate it but I’m not in love with it either. [read review]
