The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I don't get all the hate for this movie, there is enough character development and plot that you care what happens to the characters, Garner is charming as always as Elektra. Plenty of story, plenty of action, likable characters, give it a shot with an open mind.

Yeah, I don't think that "Elektra (2005)" was a very good spin-off movie to begin with. I mean, not once did I actually believe that Jennifer Garner was in fact Elektra Natchios in this movie or in the 2003 Daredevil movie at all. She's just some airhead in a skimpy corset to me. And honestly, her outfit in this movie is ridiculous. Like, this is what they considered to be a cool outfit for a female ninja assassin?! Lame!!!! Never really liked the character of Abby because she was a pain in the neck and I really don't buy Tarrace Stamp's performance as "Stick" in this movie. Lastly, the villains are boring. At least with the 2003 Daredevil movie, it had the Kingpin and Bull's-Eye. But this?! We got the actor who played Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat as the leader of "The Hand" and some other generic mystical henchmen led by his son, played by Will Yun-Lee and that's it. That's what we got for villains in this movie.So, if you're like expecting to see some cool action scenes featuring the character of Elektra Natchios, you're not gonna get with this movie. I would strongly recommend watching the Netflix Daredevil series, instead.Overall, don't even bother with this movie. It's boring, tedious and well, kind of pointless. It's no wonder why Fox gave the rights to Daredevil back to Marvel. Now if only they would do the same thing to the Fantastic Four, but that's gonna take even longer.

Wow...When I first saw the name, I wasn't too sure about this film, at the start I was bit losing it a bit...But it has got my eyes stuck on the film wanting to finish it. I was so addicted to it, Never thought it would pull me into it so much. I was looking for this type of films with those things in the film, and I've just caught it in time and I'm so happy that I have chosen the film. However, at the end, it was a little disappointed but so happy that I've watched it and ticked another film onto my watched list! Those who are thinking of it, GO FOR IT!

Plot In A Paragraph: Elektra (Jennifer Garner) is brought back to life by Stick (Terence Stamp), a blind martial arts master. Stick trains Elektra in the martial art of ninjitsu, and after several years of intense training, she becomes his best student. Elektra is so skilled as an assassin that nobody can stop her from her assignment, no matter how many bodyguards with guns you have around you. Elektra goes to a small island and befriends Mark and his teenage daughter Abby before she finds out that they are her targets. Sometime you just know you are watching a bad movie 'Elektra' is one such time. I don't hate Ben Afflecks 'Daredevil' like some do, I don't love it by any stretch if the imagination, but I found it OK. I expected the same here. I was wrong. Some of it is so ludicrous I wondered whether it was originally conceived as a superhero spoof comedy.I'll admit now, I turned it off. I got 38 minutes in to it, when I realised life is too short to waste on such drivel. I have seen several better acted and scripted TV movies starring Rob Lowe and Neil Patrick Harris recently that put this movie to shame The movie seems so amateur, almost enough to pass as a substandard offering from a struggling local amateur dramatics group. Not even Terrence Stamp can save it, and he is the only reason to see this. He brings a touch of panache to his scenes, and he deserves better than this. My advice is simple. Don't waste your time, give it a miss. Avoid it like the plague. Tell your friends to pass it by. The acting is bad, bad, bad (Garner included)
