Elektra

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 becuase they are not to be found in this cinematic opus. Wooden acting, characters and writing that aspires 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.

As much as I hate to say it, it was my choice. And you'd better believe it was a matinee. The only saving grace is that I paid for the tickets using a gift certificate.
