	Elektra (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elektra is a 2005 movie directed by Rob Bowman.
		Continuing from Daredevil, Elektra is revived by Stick after dying from the mortal wounds she suffered from Bullseye.
		Just as Daredevil was for Matt Murdock, this film is about Elektra coping with her childhood experiences and putting them behind her.

	Elektra
		With Elektra (Jennifer Garner) her characteristic is she may be a beautiful young woman with a deadly mastery of martial arts but she also has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
		Elektra is revived by a martial arts grand master Stick (Terrance Stamp) and begins a new regime of training.
		The film takes itself too seriously and tends to be indecisive as to just what genre it is. The film would have been better off as a psychological thriller with a deeper exploration of the dark past of Elektra.

		Next, Elektra is seen in the kitchen where she is organizing fruit by type: grapes, apples, oranges, and peaches.
		The most obvious revelation is that her mother was murdered, and Elektra's necklace becomes a symbol of the heroine's undying love for her mother.
		Elektra has forced the memory deep into her mind, as the murderer's identity is unclear at first: an image of horror in the form of the beast, gradually becoming more concrete.

	Elektra film review, In Film Australia
		Jennifer Garner is cold as ice as Elektra, the latest superhero heroine seizing the reigns of another feature film conversion dug out of the vaults of the Marvel comics empire.
		Elektra inevitably gate crashes his serenity and reassures him that "death isn't so bad." When he enquires just how she knows that her retortion comes with sub-zero intensity: "I died once."
		Initially Elektra herself, a professional assassin by trade, appears as a soulless existential wanderer but as the plot establishes an important moral dilemma (involving a young girl and her father) her morality slowly curves into shape, without stretching her withdrawn, hard-as-nails exterior into pulpy mush or sloppy sentiment.

		Yes, it’s a film made solely to entertain young girls at slumber parties for years to come, but there’s a charm to “Aquamarine” that is hard to deny.
		Filmed with an unusual amount of vigor and pitch-perfect tween realization, the film manages to find some unique ground to cover before the whole enterprise grows tiresome for the climax.
		It’s a shame the film is an often incomprehensible bore, laden with needles visual flourishes and storytelling that will someday make sense (lord help me, it better) when the filmmakers get around to finishing this proposed trilogy.

	FilmJerk.com - “Elektra” to Begin Filming May 3 in Vancouver; More Details of Plot Out
		While word on 20th Century Fox’s upcoming production “Elektra” production has been mostly quiet over the past 6 months, the film finally saw concrete movement Thursday morning with the news that Rob Bowman (“The X-Files”) is in talks to direct the film.

	Elektra (2005): Jennifer Garner, Kirsten Prout, Terence Stamp, Will Yun Lee - PopMatters Film Review
		When Elektra's sometime mentor Stick (Terrence Stamp) instructs her, "You understand violence and pain, but you do not know the way," she reacts with still more fury, stomping off to train herself.
		Elektra's current trauma, the one that drives the plot of Rob Bowman's movie, drags in all her old stuff and then some.
		Elektra has ready battlefield answers for this gimmick as well (some wirework, some leaps and kicks, some elaborate flailing), but you know she's saving up the most intricate and exciting fights for the end, when she'll be dressed in red again.

		Initially a nihilistic loner, Elektra gets to show her touchy-feely side when, instead of slaying Mark Miller (Visnjic) and his bratty 13-year old daughter Abby (Kirsten Prout), she saves them from The Hand’s acrobatic Ninja assassins.
		Elektra sees herself in the troubled, rebellious Abby, who also lost her mother at a young age.
		What they want to see is Elektra beating the shit out of villain Kirigi (Yun Lee) and his X-Men-style side-kicks: disease-dealing Typhoid, man-mountain Stone, bendy-boy Kinkou and the animalistic Tattoo.

		Of course, this new friendship is not meant to be and when Elektra discovers that her targets are in fact Mark and Abby, she decides to go on the run acting as a protector from those that want them dead.
		Elektra is a difficult film to judge - there is a lot about it that works wonderfully.
		Elektra is as pixel-perfect as you can get for the most part, however the stunning definition has its drawbacks during the CGI-heavy scenes and these exhibit signs of banding and minor aliasing.

		Elektra, a needless spin-off from Mark Steven Johnson’s already flawed 2003 Daredevil film, might have had a fighting chance if it stayed within the boundaries of Miller’s rich source material.
		An uncharacteristic dose of guilt prevents Elektra from rubbing out her new friends (awww!), and she commits to rescuing the twosome from the impending threat of rival assassins.
		We also watch Elektra duke it out with Typhoid Mary (Natassia Malthe), a lanky villain with a lethal kiss who also made her debut in the pages of John Romita Jr.’s Daredevil books.

	FILM ROTATION : ELEKTRA Sucks...
		In other Elektra news, Rotten Tomatoes scores the film at an impressive 00% [via here and here], Nick over at CHUD makes a case for the film, and Jen Garner has crappy taste in music [via].
		It'd be a cool film, but don't expect big numbers from these B and C string Marvel characters.
		Film fans pay a lot more for films than they do comics, and it all seems like a horrible waste of resources.

	Elektra film review
		Much of the film centers on Elektra's efforts to steer a young girl Abby (Kirsten Prout) from taking the same path in life as her own.
		To imbue Elektra, one of the few good things to emerge from the lackluster Daredevil, with some compassion is understandable, but to make her almost apologetic for her way of life hardly inspires allegiance, a prime necessity for what is a hoped for franchise.
		The film's overall dark look hints at a more subversive story, but when tamed to acquire a more commercial rating, there is little room for real edge.

	The Film Asylum - Elektra (Jennifer Garner, Goran Visnjic)
		Following the events of Daredevil, Elektra Natchios (Garner) is revived by the Order of the Hand, a group of assassins who helped train her.
		Assigned by the Hand's current leader, Kirigi, to kill a man, Mark Miller (Visnjic), and his 13-year-old daughter, Abby, Elektra soon befriends them and decides to stand up to her ninja peers.
		Elektra is especially motivated to do so when she discovers that Miller's grandfather was an ally of her former mentor, Stick (Stamp), who is the blind martial arts teacher responsible for training a certain eyesight-challenged ex-boyfriend of hers...

		Plot Outline: Elektra the warrior survives a near-death experience, becomes an assassin-for-hire, and tries to protect her two latest targets, a single father and his young daughter, from a group of supernatural assassins.
		Trivia: A short clip used in the trailers and TV commercials shows a ring of energy emanating from what appears to be the hedge maze that is featured during the final action sequences.
		Furthermore, the behaviour of the characters in this film appear to do an about-face at random moments to suit the storyline, and don't even get me started about the utterly pointless romantic sub-plot.

	Elektra Listing at Box Office Prophets
		While it is true that Daredevil pretty much sucked big time, the film featured one shining light and that was Jennifer Garner, who easily stole the film from Ben Affleck in her portrayal of Elektra Natchios.
		This film could also herald the arrival of Garner as a serious, major female action star, something that is seriously lacking in mainstream films today.
		According to USA Today, Jennifer Garner is saying that her villainous foil in the upcoming Elektra film will be Typhoid Mary, a woman who is normal during the daytime, but at night she loses her mind, causing those with whom she comes into contact to contract typhoid itself.

		Elektra has in effect given up her degree course to stay at home and look after her father, who is still lacking an income and any kind of a life after his store was fire-bombed and razed to the ground.
		"Elektra is very much more open and vulnerable than she is in her adult persona - and she's got a very appealing exuberance about her that contrasts strongly with the grimly focused personality she has later.
		Elektra is this weird paradox: a strong, capable woman who is nonetheless pulled out of shape by terrible, stressful experiences and consistently ends up a long way from where she wanted to be.

		The process begins by watching the film together with the filmmakers and discussing where a music interlude or piece should go [this is called 'spotting.'].
		I'm used to the editing of the film to stop at a certain point, before I record.
		In this case, because the visual effects were still coming in and the film makers were trying to improve things by making changes at the last minute, it was very tough for me to keep up with all of that work."

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Elektra
		exy assassin Elektra (Jennifer Garner)—who died in 2003's dreadful Daredevil but has been resurrected by Fox suits for this spin-off—is an OCD sufferer who maniacally scrubs floors and lays out her toiletries with the same meticulous care as she does her martial arts weapons.
		If only Rob Bowman's inconsistent film—which then has the neurotic Elektra spill innocent security guards' blood, dramatically toss clothes on dirty floors, and not bat a single curled eyelash when her chestnut hair is tousled by the wind—paid such compulsive attention to detail.
		That Elektra's fascination with sightless do-gooders might be related to her self-esteem and trust issues is a topic never broached, though the buxom badass's surrogate wife/mother relationships with Mike and Abby (who, like Elektra, is a gifted, motherless martial artist) is hammered home with comical solemnity.

		It's the film companies and not Marvel that take on the financial burden, which is good for keeping Marvel well protected, but then the downside is they don't get much back either.
		It wasn't the best Marvel film that has come out, but it could have been a lot worse than it was.
		The Marvel films have been watchable, and the more we all watch, the more will be made and then the projects which we have a closer affinity toward have a greater chance of being created due to our past enthusiasm of prior projects which have been released.
