Small Movie with a Big HeartÂ…Â…Highly Underrated

Not Every Comic-Book/Super-Hero Movie has to be Ultra-Produced with Maxed-Out CGI Explosions and Mayhem. Sometimes a Character Study is Simply Enough.Jennifer Garner is Type-Cast here and it Works Just Fine. After Her stint on "Alias" she Morphed to "Elektra" without Any Effort. Her Brooding Fits the Character's Angst as She is Forced into a Situation that Requires Her Specific and "Treasured" Skills.The Villains are a Fine Adaptation of Bad Guys with Supernatural Abilities that turn the Screen into Cinematic Recreations of Comic-Book Grandiosity with Cool Color Schemes and Outlandish Abilities.The Movie is One of the Most Hated of the Super-Hero Genre, along with "Catwoman" (2004), and both are Knee-Jerk Reactions. The Fact that both are "Female" says Something. "Supergirl" anyone? Fanboys Never seem to Warm Up and Appreciate a "Girl" Kicking Ass. Except Maybe a "Little Girl" (less threatening) like in "Kick-Ass" (2010).But that's too Deep a Psychological Subject to Tackle in a Review of this type. Suffice to Say that "Elektra" is an Underrated Movie that Looks and Feels Different than Most of the Movies in the Genre. The Supporting Cast all do OK and the Fight Scenes Acquire an Ethereal Feel Befitting the Mystical Subject Matter and are somewhat Stylish.Overall, a Good Entry for the Character. The Film cannot be called Great but Certainly is Misunderstood and Trashed Undeservedly and seems to be Unfairly Compared to other more Bombastic and Popular Entries. This is not in the Same Category as the Big Names that Dominate the Box-Office and the Headlines. This is a Small Movie, but has a Big Heart, and yes, a Female Touch.

Really? something is wrong with you people, you do not value yourself

How can you rate a movie 4.3? This movie (Directors cut) is worth 10 points. At least 8. Same with Daredevil. Why does everyone rate the masterpieces of the 2000s with such low ratings? Movies like this don't get made anymore. Everything is excellent in this film, as in Daredevil: from the script to the music, the acting, music, directing, visual effects, even the budget. You didn't appreciate good movies, now you got commercial marvel and dc.
