Default Elektra



I was expecting to see a lot of action in this movie. Unfortunately, it was very slow and in the end, disappointing. This movie is slower than Daredevil and The Hulk. To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, "Now you do plan on having action in your action movie?!"

There was not even enough of that! She wore her trademark outfit far too little.

There was a rather lengthy girl-on-girl kiss though:

I havn't seen it yet, but it just seems like Marvel lets the Spider-man/x-men movies stay superior to the others. Im not sure why. Hulk sucked, Punisher and Hellboy i heard sucked, and now electra was a failure.

Its a shame, but oh well. Everyone is jumping on the comic book movie bandwagon that they cant think of ideas. I hope Ghost rider is good

...and neither Punisher nor Hellboy "sucked." They are what they are: comic book adaptation films. Learn to enjoy them as such.

If you're looking for depth, go rent Citizen Kane or Apocalypse Now.
