    Je m'attendais pas à grand chose, et j'ai pas eu grand chose !!! Au reste souvent dans le doute, on semble comprendre, mais ... jamais sur de comprendre réellement au complet.

    On semble lancer dans l'histoire d'Elektra, la tueuse à gage, sans toute fois connaitre ce qui l'ento...( read more)ur. Il semble manquer un moment au début de ce film. Souvent le même "flash back" qu'on ne sait pas trop comment interpréter.

    On n'embarque pas dans l'action. Beaucoup trop de sentiments. C'est un film de fillettes !!! :P

    I thought it was pretty good. There were a couple parts in there that were totally unbelievable, but for the most part it was exciting.

    Reprising her character from the (rather dull) Daredevil movie, Jennifer Garner is resurrected from the dead as a deadly assassin to save a girl whose talents are being squabbled over by the forces of good and evil. Quite why this is, I'm not sure as her talents appeared to be no...( read more)thing more than being quite good at kung fu, although nowhere near as good as anyone else in the film. I have to say, it shares a lot in common with the previous film. There are some nice visual effects, particularly those involving Tattoo's living body art and the action is adequately handled, but there really is not enough of it. The only attempts to flesh out Elektra's character are a constant stream of clumsy flashbacks of the same single event and Garner doesn't really have the charisma to carry a film on her own; more often than not she resembles the captain of the cheerleading squad rather than an enigmatic and cold blooded assassin. All the peripheral cast are equally uninteresting, Terence Stamp once again turning up for the paycheck and sporting a shock of white hair atop the kind of orange tan that a game show host would be proud of. This combined with a soulless and by the numbers script that lacks any real character and the result is never terrible; just instantly forgettable.

    A spin-off that only just ties in with it's predecessor. Elektra is now an assassin for hire, which doesn't make a terrible amount of sense. After all her father was killed in Daredevil by a hired assassin so one would assume she'd be led the other way in life. It's like Bruce Wa...( read more)yne becoming a mugger. The first half is an assassin film. Fairly well made and enjoyable. Suddenly magic powers come into play. Though many of these are interesting, tatoo's coming to life for example, no explanation is made to put this in a similar world to Daredevil. Assassins and magic just don't mix that well in present day settings. Everyone's a bit boring as well and there's nobody having as much fun as Farrell did. Everybody's so serious it sort of brings a downer on everything. Nothing great but nothing truly terrible.

    This movie is OK. The standard good vs evil played out in martial arts battles. The good (Jennifer Garner) struggles with her life choices. I guess you have to figure out how to balance the good warriors vs the bad ones, but I don't like the idea of anyone having the ability t...( read more)o bring back people from the dead. How does one ever end a battle if you dispatch someone and they just pop back into the picture again?

    (I have never seen Daredevil or read the comic book, so my review might be missing that aspect).

    HUGE LETDOWN, BECAUSE DAREDEVIL WAS AN AWESOME FLICK.

    This movie was quite literally painful to watch. I didn't feel anything toward the characters. The plot was empty. The only other movie worse than this that I can think of right off the bat that Jennifer Garner has been in, is 'DareDevil'. Two shamlessly BAD movies, that shouldn'...( read more)t have made it past the cutting room floor.
