ELEKTRA(2005)

I can't put my finger on the problem with this movie. It
just doesn't click with me! Nothing terrible about it, except
for maybe the music! However there's also nothing phenomenal
about it either! It's an ok movie to watch twice, but beyond that
not so much! It just doesn't have pazzaz!! B-

From IMDb.com:

Sure, this is not the best movie that I have seen but I
have also seem much much worse. The movie starts
right off with Elektra being an assassin for hire. The
first couple of scenes where she enters a heavily guarded
house, much to the surprise of the security chief, and
kills her target is indeed quite promising.

The rest of the movie is rather thin in terms of story
though. It would have been nice to get a bit of background
story as to Elektra's revival early on but of this we are
only feed glimpses during the course of the movie.

The same goes for the reason The Hand is after the
young girl and her father. We are told that she is special
during the course of the movie but we never get much
of a real background story or any real incitement to
understand or care about what happens to them other
than that they are nice people and The Hand are the
bad guys.

Still the movie is not entirely without merits. I quite liked
Terence Stamp as the old Ninja master. The fighting is
reasonably enjoyable. The fight scene with all the sheets
of cloth floating around is quite beautiful even though
Elektra gives a bit out of control impression in it. Some
of the special effects when the dark Ninja's get going is
fairly enjoyable as well. I especially liked the scenes with
Tattoo. The one where he lets go of all the snakes is quite
cool.

Bottom line for me is that the 90+ minutes I spent in front
of the TV yesterday was reasonably enjoyable. As I wrote
above. Not the best movie I have seen but far from the
worst. - p-jonsson
