CGI looks OK to me
Early Elektra Review
The good people over at aintitcool.com have received an early review for
Elektra, starring Jennifer Garner. The 'reviewer' really had nothing
to say but criticism. Hear are a few snippets:
So they gave her a film but, because Daredevil wasn’t a big hit, distanced it from that one entirely. Does that make much sense to anyone else? One good film becomes an average one and a bad one? No, me neither.
So, yes, distanced entirely. There’s no direct mention of Daredevil in the film, or of any of the events in that film beyond the fact that she died.
There’s no pay-off in Elektra – for heaven’s sake, the lead bad-guy, the man with whom she shares a mysterious history, the one who really wants her dead… he doesn’t even die last. And with that, Elektra struts off in slow motion – a legend reborn? Hardly.
The film lacks anything truly memorable. A couple of mildly interesting things are raised (Elektra doesn’t realise the extent of her obsessive/compulsive nature) but never followed through and occasionally, nonsensical things occur. In one sequence, our heroes are running away from some wolf-like beast unleashed from a tattoo in a bad-guy’s chest (yes, it’s a little more fantastical than I expected in such regards), but when he arrives to savage those Elektra’s protecting, it’s left to snarl away at a stick while they all get into a safely PG-13 fight with another guy! Was something cut here? Elsewhere too?
Eesh. I was planning on seeing Elektra this weekend and posting
a review but, if negative ones keep rolling in, I'll jump theatres and go
to In Good Company and let you know about that.
