Summary: Taking a Dare
Comment: Jennifer Garner reprises a major character in the Daredevil movie for this comic book-styled romp in the martial arts. Elektra (Garner) is a hired assassin who refuses to go forward with an assigned hit, which doesn't sit well with an evil organization.
The shadows that twists and turns the soul of Elektra are not heavily delved into, as the focus is on action. Garner has a striking presence, but is underutilized due to the character never fully stepping away from the comics.
The bonus material is outstanding, with a documentary on the character - which includes an interview with Frank Miller - and an in-depth "making of" documentary and film commentary by director Rob Bowman and editor Kevin Stitt.
Ultimately, though, there was potential missed to turn Elektra into a solid movie franchise.

Summary: I liked it!
Comment: Comic book fans, check this one out, Jennifer Garner fans, check this one out, you'll appreciate a few scenes that show off her physique in the super-hero costume. the storyline on this one was solid and had good development. I heard some pretty bad things about this one and am not really sure why. I liked it and thought it was a decent movie and I plan to keep it in my collection.

Summary: A Sexy Superhero!!!
Comment: The beautiful Jennifer Garner is back as Elektra! After being reborn from DareDevil, Elektra assassinates the bad guys. During Christmas time, Elektra moves to a cottage and meets Mark Miller and his 13-year old girl, Abby. She find out that her next mission is to assassinate them both. After having Christmas dinner, she doesn't want to and all three of them are being hunted down by an organization known as The Hand. There are a lot of special effects and action sequences. If you love action, and sexy Jennifer Garner, you'll love ELEKTRA!!!

Summary: Preposterous Action Scenes
Comment: I like Garner and think she's an appealing actress, and I liked her in Daredevil, but in this movie the action scenes are so weak and unbelievable. She is supposed to be a great fighter, but we hardly see anything, it's just implied that she is able to get past an army of ninjas or armed thugs. Then the battles with the superpowered guys are even more absurd, because any one of them could end the fight in a second. The story?.. not much there, there's a young girl who is supposed to be a good fighter so she protects her, and something about her learning from a blind teacher. Not as bad as Catwoman though.

Summary: Lara Croft meets the X-Men
Comment: I have to say that I am not familiar with any Daredevil or Elektra comics, games or had had any other contact with the characters apart from the two movies so I cannot compare the characters to other sources, nor can I take part in discussing the technicalities and the specifics like other reviewers have. Therefore, coming from someone that did not "know" Elektra prior to the film I have to say that the movie was pretty good.
Jennifer Garner (who is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!) and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well, allowing for an entertaining movie. On the negative side, there were several parts that were too predictable/obvious taking away from the overall enjoyment of the movie.
In short, the plot, the setting, the special effects, and the music are all good.
Overall, though not a masterpiece, it is definitely a movie worth watching, as it will provide for an evening's entertainment! 3.5 Stars

FROM THE FORCES THAT BROUGHT YOU X-MEN AND DAREDEVIL…Superstar Jennifer Garner proves that looks can kill as the sexiest action hero ever to burst from the pages of Marvel Comics. Restored to life after sustaining mortal wounds in Daredevil, an icy, solitary Elektra (Garner) now lives only for death as the world’s most lethal assassin. Using her bone-crunching martial arts skills and Kimagure—the ability to see into the future—Elektra is on a collision course with darkness… until her latest assignment forces her to make a choice that will lead either to her redemption or destruction in the ultimate battle between good and evil!
