Elektra Movie Reviews : Film Bombs!

Posted by:

Well it would seem that all of the critics have spoken and Elektra is experiencing a horrible horrible time in the box office with critics on average giving this film a 1 star out of 5 or worse. I was really hoping myself that this movie would be a good one, but it would seem that most people would not say that. Hakeem our resident movie critic saw the movie before others and also had nothing good to say about it. So as much as some of us were hoping he had bad taste, it would seem Hakeem's tastes in film are as good as they ever were. To quote Hakeem's Review:

Of course, there's a twist, I mean, why would someone want to kill Mark and Abby? and what happens is just so bad that it was really painful to watch. It wasn't even funny. And the Ninjas? Well, there are only two ninjas that actually fight Elektra, and they're so lame that the first one dies even before starting the fight.

Then we have the real bad guy, the one behind it all, Roshi, played by the guy who played Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat (!). He's ok, but just cause he's in the movie for 10 minutes. He's old to fight now, so we have his son, and the son's posse: a black guy that appears to be holding a candle in his hand all the time, and he walks weird; a big fat Chinese/black guy whose body is made of steel as bullets nor Elektra's Sai Daggers do anything to him; a woman who sucks life out of living things; and tattoo, the one guy in the trailer, with (of course!) tattoos in his body. He has the ability to bring these tattoos to life and they (a bird, snakes and a tiger/wolf) can attack Elektra or whoever is in front of them. This guy is one of the worst characters ever made.

And the ways they die is just stupid, no cool fights or anything. Elektra just breaks their necks while they're doing yoga, or she throws a Sai from a mile away and it hits them in the head and they die. They're supposed to be this big badass enemies, but they're just lame.
