Elektra

Author: CasperPublished: Jan 22, 2005 at 10:31 pm 2 comments

I went to this movie expecting a "brain off" kind of experience. What I got instead was an openly insulting movie (and a very long 96 minutes at that).

Elektra is a movie based (more or less) on a Marvel comic series of the same name. I won't bother boring you with anything silly like plot or character. Mostly because they are not to be found in this cinematic opus. Wooden acting, characters and writing that aspire to be one-dimensional, enough backplot for three or four movies and absolutely nothing to engage anyone.

The only thing even vaguely worthwhile in the entire flick is Jennifer Garner. Aside from the eye candy aspects, she does her level best to overcome the dreck she was handed. To be honest, I'm not sure who owed what to whom, but hopefully all the bets have now been paid off.

Watch time :23. And :56. And 1:19.

    "Watch time :23. And :56. And 1:19."

    I'm sorry, but what does that mean?

    Watch time -- it's a measurement of how much I am or am not into the movie that being played. Literally, it's how long I went through the movie before I started to wonder how long the movie had been playing.
