Elektra.
Yes, watching Daredevil the second time rose my wee bit of expectations for this one. Oh boy, still as bad as I remember from the first time watching it. I forgot the main basic flaw of this movie - the lack of an actual substantial plot. If they somehow kept this in DD's world but revolved around Elektra's character, it could have been a kickass movie. As it stands, its still a disappointment.
Garner is bland, and fizzes out on a chance of doing a Bride (remember Kill Bill?), and the rest of the cast are pretty dull. The girl playing Abby annoyed me a lot for some reason, and Terence Stamp looked totally out of league. Not a lot of atmosphere except the final climactic sequence, but that too peters out into a dull ending.
I have heard the Director's Cut makes this movie look better, but I ll skip it. Thank you.
