DeMarco: "I guess it's all true. The red outfit, the knives. What happens now? You just kill me, straight out, just gulp?" Elektra Natchios: "Don't worry. Death's not that bad." DeMarco: "How do you know?"
Elektra Natchios: "I died once." Assassin Elektra the warrior (Jennifer Garner) is unable to terminate her latest targets, and instead protects them from a far greater evil. "Elektra", spin off of Marvel Comics "Daredevil", is a "Mortal Kombat" look-a-like, a stylish Ninja style comic book adaptation, featuring endless rousing fantasy action and the anticipated martial arts duals, all of which is temporarily interrupted, and rudely at that, by forced sensitivity, emotionally empty dialogue that is more laughable than tender hearted (as proposed). On a more positive note, comparing "Catwoman" and "Elektra", the latter is definitely the finer project. Complete Your Favorite Albums Now. $7.99 or Less. Download on iTunes now.
Director Rob Bowman resume includes "Reign of Fire" (Christian Bale), "The X Files" (David Duchovny), and "Airborne" (Seth Green).
The star of "Alias", the striking Jennifer Garner ("13 Going On 30", "Catch Me If You Can") reprises her role as Elektra from "Daredevil", although this time, unfortunately not as effective - this could be contributed to her screen time in "Daredevil" being limited, maintaining an increased intrigue in the sexy and mysterious superhero, or another likely factor, the lack of screenplay, forcing our hero to glide around in tight fitting outfits glairing at opponents without much emotional intensity. Garner's films include "Pearl Harbor", "Dude, Where's My Car?", and "Mr. Magoo".
The cast includes the sexy Natassia Malthe ("A Guy Thing", "40 Days and 40 Nights"), Goran Visnjic ("Ice Age", "ER"), Kirsten Prout, Will Yun Lee ("Die Another Day"), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, and Terence Stamp ("Full Frontal", "My Boss's Daughter"). AGE-DEFYING DUO - SAVE

"Elektra" joins the list of recent Marvel Comics adapted to the big screen: "Daredevil", "Blade", "Blade II", "Blade: Trinity", "Hulk", "The Punisher", "Spider-Man", "Spider-Man 2", "X-Men", and "X2". Along with "Daredevil", "The Punisher", and "Blade: Trinity", "Elektra" remains the weakest of the recent Marvel Comics.
