Title: Mystic. Supernatural. Suspenseful. Beautiful.
Review: I liked Elektra for its intrigue, action, martial-arts motif, and, yes, the acting. Maybe I'm just soft on Jennifer Garner. She portrays her characters so well and with such a great heart, she elicits sympathy and support. You really, really want her to win every fight. And she does!In comparison with recent comic book films, Elektra is not quite as good as Spidey 2 but much better than Daredevil. I didn't miss Ben Affleck a bit. The film is on par with Xmen 2. In fact, the viewer will recognize very similar handling of both special effects and special "super" powers of the villains: Stone, Typhoid Mary, and Tattoo, courtesy, I suppose, of the same director for both films.Jennifer Garner is a heart-winner. She is beautiful, talented, and winsome. And so sweet. I must admit, playing a cold-blooded assasin like Elektra is a bit of a stretch for her- even her solid acting skills can't cover up that great heart and sweet spirit.
