    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Jennifer Garner reportedly told a journalist that she felt this movie was terrible, and that she only filmed it because of contractual obligations from "Daredevil (2003)."
    • Goofs
      The fact that almost every movie depicting a character associated with Greece is misusing the greek alphabet for example (capital sigma instead of E). Another example is Elektra's necklace that instead of H capital lamda EKTPA writes E capital lamda EXTPA. Movies are not meant to be shown only in countries that ignore the greek alphabet and it is rather offensive for the greek viewers.
    • Quotes

      Stick: Some lessons can't be taught, Elektra. They must be lived to be understood.

    • Crazy credits
      The Marvel Comics logo features comic-book images of Elektra in its pages.
    • Alternate versions
      There is a directors cut that is three minutes longer with some extra scenes.
    • Connections
      Featured in HBO First Look: The Making of 'Elektra' (2004)

    Good flick
    Since I haven't read comics is quite a few years, and having never really followed Daredevil or Elektra, I don't really have any comments on how true to the books this movie was.I do believe it's definitely worth seeing. The effects are outstanding, the camera-work wonderful, and the acting quite good. Garner (almost always) moves like a trained fighter, and Prout looks at least well practiced. The plot was fairly fluid and interesting if not engrossing. Over all it was better than I expected. See it and enjoy it. Since concise opinions aren't allowed here, I may as well add that the costumes were quite well done. Also, the sound was peachy. Did I mention that Jennifer looked swell? Ciao.
