Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 1.5 stars out of a possible 4 . He writes : " Plays like a collision between leftover bits and pieces of Marvel superhero stories . It ca n't decide what tone to strike . " Helen O'Hara at Empire magazine gave the film 2 out of 5 stars , and says " Despite oozing star quality , Garner struggles to rise above the limitations of the script . " Brian Lowry of Variety writes : " Elektra ” proves no more than fitfully satisfying , a character-driven superhero yarn whose flurry of last-minute rewriting shows in a disjointed plot . " Claudia Puig of '' USA Today '' writes " Her ( Garner ) grace and mystical abilities make for a lonely burden , and we are supposed to feel her pain . Instead , we feel our own for having to sit through this silly movie . " Puig concluded that Garner " is far more appealing when she 's playing charming and adorable , as she did so winningly in '' 13 Going on 30 '' . Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader writes : " This does n't exactly set the world on fire , but I was charmed by its old-fashioned storytelling , which is refreshingly free of archness , self-consciousness , or " Kill Bill " - style wisecracks . " Jennifer Garner and Natassia Malthe were nominated for Best Kiss at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards
