Elektra (DVD)

By this time I think everyone and their mother has checked out our selection of DVD clips for the Elektra DVD, primarily since the one titled "Come Back" is the deleted scene in which Ben Affleck showed up to reprise his Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, role. Now that you have seen that, is there really anything else, is this all the DVD is good for?

If you ask me it isn't even good for that, primarily because you have now seen the clip already, not to mention just about anything else the "special" features have to offer, which leaves us with the movie itself, which isn't saying much.

Elektra follows up where Daredevil left off, except this time we follow the Daredevil co-star, Jennifer Garner, as she reprises her role as Elektra Natchios, now a hired assassin. She is unknowingly hired by the Order of the Hand to kill Mark Miller and his 13-year-old daughter, but the trick is on them as she switches teams and chooses to protect her marks setting us on our 100 minute path to boredom.

Elektra features an intriguing character, cool baddies and a story that goes nowhere from nowhere all led by a director that doesn't know what to do with the limited story he has been given.

Garner has been quoted since Elektra's release saying that she only did it because she was contracted to, but good Lord, you would think she would at least be big enough now to tell someone to give the script a once over before production begun.

Keeping it simple, don't waste your money on this title; it isn't any better at home than it was in the theaters. Elektra is a dud in every sense of the word, it was all I could do to keep my eyes open for this additional viewing.
