Elektra Is A Real Kill For All Movie Fans!
All I can say from reading the reviews above is that some people do not understand the character of Elektra portrayed in this movie. Someone above listed that Jennifer Garner cries too much on Alias and in this film. I'd just like to add that she is very good at portraying emotion on screen and the fact that she cries on Alias a lot and in this movie is to show that she is still human and can still somewhat feel for other people. Regardless of that, she is a complex character. At the same time, she is very emotionally disturbed because of the death of her parents. (Evil better hide itself.) I believe that Garner plays this character extremely well.
Another note I read was saying that this movie did not surpass Daredevil. I would say that it does on many notes.
1.) Ben Affleck did not nail the role of Matthew Murdock and is not a very talented actor. Rarely have I seen him in a film where he has been "stunningly impressive" with his acting ability. Jennifer Garner is a very talented actress who definately nailed the role of Elektra.
2.) Daredevil lacked more action than this film. It took over an hour to get started, and was wrapped up in half an hour. Elektra, on the other hand, started slowly and gradually picked up throughout the movie ending in what I would consider a great confrontation of evil and royal whoopin of it's butt.
3.) The visual effects of Elektra really added to the action and mystical presence of the film. The battle in the room with the sheets was amazingly well thought out and directed. Daredevil did not raise the bar on anything. In fact, I found it very similar to Spiderman considering the close release date of the original Spiderman and Daredevil.
Overall, I would have to say that Elektra was one of my favorite Marvel movies to come out so far. Jennifer Garner is a very talented actress and should not be "slammed" for anything about her performance. And I am so glad that Ben Affleck was NOT in this movie.
