Review of Strauss R: Elektra (2010) by Xou X — 26 Aug 2009

For the record, I knew this would suck. The only reason I bothered was because I realized I was two or three movies away from having seen every film made this decade to be based on a Marvel comics property.

This was only slightly better than I expected it to be (my expectations were at rock bottom). Really the whole thing was dumb to begin with, taking a movie that most people didn?t like to begin with and making a spinoff based on the character everyone disliked the most.

Ths is pretty much a two hour version of the scene in Daredevil where Elektra fights sandbags to Evanescence music. Some of the effects were allright I guess, the tattoo guy was kind of cool, but everything else is boring as hell.

Midway through I started playing around with the DVD audio options and switched it to the French track just to amuse myself. That?s never a good sign.
