Nobody ever reviewed this film, or mentioned it. So, here we go.

I honestly from all I heard expected an action film; it's billed as an action film. Maybe I'm the only one who expects more than 10 minutes of action in an action film.

This is a drama with a bit of action in it.

Good Qualities are the cgi, the dialogue, the fighting when it's there. The set dressing, overall a good picture.

Bad Qualities the acting, that little girl, the fighting, the way to played out superhuman drama, the lack of any real character building, the lack of a villain you care about.

I mean this film overall is a good watch if you're not tired and want to be or if you are and want to fall asleep.

Unless the DVD has great features I’m going to give this film a 6 out of 10 and even that is a miracle... Again it's not a bad film, just not a good film, below average for me.

(To the fan boys, when she is brought back to life and throughout you will notice there is nothing wrong with her hand... We specifically seen in Daredevil her hand be pierced by a sai and yet now there isn't even a scar.)

Me and my two friends went to this movie because the movie we were going to see was sold out we were laughing the whole time.  Not because it was a comedy, but because it was extremely corny and predictable. One of my firned stated as soon as the little girl came into the movie "that girl is gonna end up trying to be mini elektra" and so she peretty much did.  oh and the whole "sentto kill you then nd up liking you and saving you" has been done to death.

I just think they use the same formula for every superhero/comic book film. Sin City is a comic book movie what do they call it? a graphic novel. That's a good film that is not predictable and at the same timeit's good enough that you don't care.

Elektra is an average movie, below average if you consider the great action in it's counter parts. What is with these quick cut fighting? You don't see the fight, you see very quick flashes of moves that any other way would be cool.

If she cannot fight, admit it and move on.

I'veenver seen this specific story used but Spiderman 1 and 2 usedthe exact same formula for both films, I hope they don't for the third because they made the same movie twice with new characters.

I think it was too much like Alias. I mean - the first I said when I saw the trailer was
"Hey! Alias!" But even Alias has more twist and turns. (be sure to tune in tonight! :p)

I hope they don't jack up WonderWoman. (Darn! J.Garner could've been WonderWoman!! Stupid, Stupid! Stupid! Maybe she still can. *crosses fingers*)
