As the star of Alias, Garner has proven that she can kick butt with the best of them, and some of the visual effects are impressive, but the action sequences tend to be anticlimactic, and there's not much to the story. Fans will notice numerous references to Frank Miller's comic books, but there's very little resemblance to Miller's cold-blooded killer (Elektra with an agent? Elektra referring to herself as a "soccer mom"?).
Is Elektra better than Daredevil? Not really, even with the distinct advantage of having all Garner and no Ben Affleck. That could be the spinoff's greatest disappointment: after Spider-Man 2 raised the bar for comic-book movies, Elektra lowered it back to Daredevil's level. Directed by Rob Bowman (the X-Files movie), and featuring Terence Stamp as the mysterious mentor Stick, Will Yun Lee (Die Another Day) as the chief villain, and NFL-player-turned-mixed-martial-arts-champion Bob Sapp as the immovable Stone.
DVD features
Ben Affleck's much-rumored cameo is one of the deleted scenes on the Elektra DVD. It's a one-minute throwaway, and while he's supposedly appearing as Matt Murdock (who romanced Elektra in Daredevil), the barrage of celebrity gossip makes it impossible to see him as anything other than Jennifer Garner's real-life boyfriend. There's also a making-of featurette, which is mostly promotional hype other than a few interesting effects shots; four editing featurettes; and Jennifer Garner's videotaped message to ComicCon. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews of Elektra (Widescreen Edition)
Much better than the trailer When I heard this movie was coming out, I was stoked. Then I saw the trailer, and I thought, "Man, that looks as bad as Catwoman." So I didn't go see it. I rented it this week, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It was much better than Daredevil. More character-driven. And Jennifer Garner did a fantastic job with the fighting. I enjoyed it as much as Alias, much more than Daredevil, and as much as any other martial arts movie I can think of off the top of my head. If you like action movies, this is a good one. And the tattoo guy, that seemed so silly in the trailer? It actually works really well in the context of the film. I'm going to buy this one.
Jennifer Garner Looks Hot
And.... that's the best thing about this movie. Jennifer Garner, who I love to watch kicking butt in Alias, looks really sexy and fierce as the mega-butt-kicking Elektra. Other than that, the story is too full of flashbacks (which are not informative if you have not seen the ultra-lame DareDevil) and has plot holes you can drive a truck through.
Elektra - Not even close as good as Daredevil
I just watched this dvd and I have to say I wasn't too impressed by it. Although, I really enjoy Alias and think Jennifer Garner is a great actress in her own right, there wasn't much to this movie to really show her true talents as an actress. There wasn't a plot to this movie at all and there were so many flashbacks, it makes for confusion the whole way through. The action scenes were hardly entertaining and leave you wanting to see more. Daredevil was a far better movie and I think they should have brought some of that movie into this, even if it just meant her remembering ben affleck's character. All it showed was her childhood and nothing concerning that part of her life in daredevil. It didn't really make a lot of reference to her coming back from the dead either.....I think this movie should never come out with a sequel. Too bad for Jennifer Garner....maybe there will be a Daredevil sequel and Elektra could come back then.
