    Electric as Elektra, Jennifer Garner does a high-powered, blade-thrusting star turn as Marvel Comics' ninja-inspired superheroine, bringing such unbridled energy and sexuality to her performance, one barely notices the movie itself.

    Elektra isn't half-bad--only maybe two-fifths.

    Plays like a collision between leftover bits and pieces of Marvel superhero stories. It can't decide what tone to strike.

    The movie "Electra" starts out straight and good, cold as ice. But as it progresses, it gets torn down by terrible acting from Garner and a dialogue so obvious that you just want to cut their tongues out.… Expand

    The problem with this movie is it doesn't know what it wants to be. The first half has potential, going the way of an action-drama type film. But after the supervillians come in, it just turns into a dumb superhero film (and not just any dumb superhero film, this one attempts to redefine the meaning of the word dumb). It tries blending the two styles together but it doesn't work, they should have gone with one or the other. Also, while the story in the first half is good, the second half makes no sense and the whole thing just falls apart. The only reason to watch is Jennifer Garner.… Expand
