Elektra Review

I like to keep reviews short and sweet. Ultimately all that matters is "was i entertained?" In this case yep. The movie was entertaining. Good acting on Jennifer Garners part. Decent plot, good effects and action sequences. The story is basically bad girl seeks redemption by saving cute girl's life several times. Pretty straight forward. Good for making good movies and pleny of bad. In this case just so-so. My main complaint is that it didn't have enough action. Maybe about two real good ones. The rest seemed to be something out of Alias, good but very short. I would have happily traded the CGI for just good ole buttkicking ninja style. Maybe its the limited budget, or limited imagination but this movie just lacked size and scope. I call this one a renter or a matinee. Don't pay the big bucks for it.
