Just perfect...
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
First of all, the music was nice. The film started more like thrillers, horror movies. The first minute was beautiful. Unlike other hero characters, it is also interesting that they do not start as a loser. But the film is painful. The two days I had been aware, he had put his life in jeopardy for some, and he had a love on the third day.Apart from the absurdities and irrationality, the movie could be watched and withdrawn.I think the enemy characters are nice. Elektra was not a very strong character. But the results did not surprise him. It might be nicer if it surprises me. Elektra, one of my favorite heroes since childhood, did not surprise me. She was not very much a girl.
Movie Review: "Elektra" (2005)The 2005 released comic action movie "Elektra" directed by Rob Bowman, known for "The X-Files" (1998) and "Reign of Fire" (2002), delivers with a cool stylish hand of direction due to a highly disciplined and fully trained actress Jennifer Garner to a 90 minutes assassin / ninja skilled picture that in retrospective will entertain the knowledgeable genre fans with beautiful cinematic martial arts scenes of light and shadow embedded costume and production design worth a mid-range budget of 43 Million U.S. Dollars.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
Before the most recent "Fantastic Four" movie, this was the lowest rated movie based on a Marvel comic on RottenTomatoes and it certainly shows. As someone who was disappointed by "Daredevil" I never had high hopes for this film. I guess it wasn't really offensive or anything, but it's still really bad. There's just so many dumb things in this. Elektra didn't even show up in her uniform until the last fourth of the movie! Again, "Power Rangers" did this better. The special effects with the CGI are really bad in this and the villains are just laughable.From the very get go, the story is dumb. The villain is apparently unaware that Elektra knows what it's like to die, even though he just said she came back! She ends up falling in love this one guy and there's absolutely no buildup to it at all and it's such poorly written romance. I feel bad for female comic book fans seeing as how there has yet to be a decent movie starring a female superhero. I don't have much hopes for "Wonder Woman". There are these weird scenes where she keeps hallucinating a girl changing her age or her own age or I don't know, I didn't care. *1/2
I have watched Daredevil once and that was one time too many, Elektra though I have enjoyed many times and now have on DVD. It saddens me that the criticism of this film is so harsh, even allegedly from it's star. The movie is brooding, often dark and the action is intense. Characters are well conceived and the actors chosen play those roles well. Garner plays a formidable Elektra, but also a human version that has flaws and fears. The human side of her comes to the forefront in this movie and there are not many actresses who could have portrayed such darkness.Lead bad guy Will Yub Lee is as beautiful as he is terrifying and his final fight scene with Elektra is a dignified end to such a powerful character. As characters from the Marvel Universe, there is always going to be the unbelievable side to them, but in this film the story carries them all well.The animation of the bird of prey returning to Tattoo's chest is beautiful and Tythoid's first attack on Elektra is scenically beautiful with the falling black feathers. In truth I like the Hand more than I like Abby and her Father.I like this film, there are a great many things about it that make it excellent and as such I gave it nine out of ten. This quiet little film should be discovered and loved for the classic it is.
