(1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 14% Rotten Page   1   "A mediocre action movie that throws everything on the shoulders of its star."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari "Hardly the Citizen Kane of superhero films - but Elektra is better than DareDevil, and a LOT better than Catwoman."   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel B "Elektra succeeds because of Garner’s dedication to the character, and her willingness to go along with some rather outlandish ideas for a comic book adventure."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Despite her valiant front, Elektra can't separate personal from professional problems."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs D- "Girlfriend should have stayed dead."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher B "It felt like I was back in my childhood watching serial chapters at a Saturday matinee."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 1/4 "Elektra would have been far better off staying dead."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C- "Elektra is crap, but it's expensive, finely made crap. It's Faberge crap."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider D+ "Laughable without being entertaining."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D- "Laughably bad...a tepid, torpid comic-book movie that could accurately be described as this year's Catwoman."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "Elektra is a mediocre action drama about a reluctant assassin who discovers her nurturing side."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2/4 "Without a viable screenplay, there's nowhere for the character to go, and no way to avoid making her look silly."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1/5 "Comic book spin-off has a star in Jennifer Garner, but no script -- which makes it a hyper-cut bore."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/10 "...a pointless, muddled mass of sentiment and clichés that elicits mainly yawns."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Static and plainly derivative."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   John P. McCarthy 1.5/4 "'Jennifer Garner tiene el potencial de ser una súper estrella, pero con decisiones como ésta el camino va a ser mucho más complicado de lo que debería'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 2.5/4.0 "Not the best, but not the worst (and the upcoming Fantastic Four movie can only make [Elektra] look better)."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2.5/5 "While Elektra is better than Daredevil and Catwoman, it doesn’t hold a candle to really good superhero movies like X-Men and Spider-Man."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 1.5/4 "A little The Replacement Killers, a little TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze and a little Mortal Kombat. Make of that what you will."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 2/5 "Garner looks as terrific in Elektra's trademark scarlet bustier as Halle Berry did in Catwoman drag, but pinup appeal alone does not a compelling movie make."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh D+ "Elektra's muddled story and formal unsightliness aren’t filmmaking tragedies of Greek proportions, just Hollywood’s latest casualty of concept over character."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 1/4 "A study in how a 'can't miss' project can go awry in just about every conceivable way."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3/5 "In another film, the slice-and-dice action scenes would have had me reaching for my thesaurus. But I liked this movie. Go figure."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. C "This is a comic book movie that feels like it might have been made for the Lifetime channel. With costumes by Victoria's Secret."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Substituting titillating triumph for tragedy, this adaptation of Marvel Comics’ knife-wielding knockout comes across as hopelessly blunted. "   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "Há uma linha tênue entre uma personagem complexa e outra mal-construída – e Elektra se encaixa nesta última categoria."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1/5 "Absent an established fan base or cadre of recognizable villains, filmmakers are forced to shoehorn in superfluous back story and excessive inner turmoil."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 2.5/5 "Almost bad enough to be a guilty pleasure, except that it takes itself so seriously."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "What's missing in this Elektra is a certain sense of play and imagination."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C- "Both Garner and Elektra will likely survive, but that doesn't make it easier to watch this opportunity go to waste."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 1.5/5 "Giving a spec/polish script to a neophyte director and demanding a low-end vehicle for today's hot eye-candy is not the way to bring superheroes to life. Just ask Halle Berry."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 1.5/5 "Produces levels of excitement typically attained by proofreading science textbooks"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 4/10 "Elektra going gooey maternal? Gimme a break!"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 0.5/4 "A somehow stupider version of Mortal Kombat."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 1.5/4 "Much like the onslaught of sword-and-sandal epics, the comic-book-adaptation boom has resulted in a decreased effectiveness of the subjects."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 14% Rotten Page   1
