Never knew much about Elektra, but some of that looked pretty cool. The girl power thing can be incredibly cheesy and over done though(like catwoman). Some of the graphics in that trailer looked sweet, some looked horrible. I really dunno what to think, heh.

Looks ok. Her costume isn't working for me tho, seems out of place. Yes, I know it's a lot like the actual Elektra costume, it just doesn't fit for the movie. Looks cheap.

Hmmm...I'll check out the movie. I would have rather seen an Elektra/Daredevil movie EVEN with Ben Assflake as DD.

I like Elektra, but doubt this movie are gonna be good. Sorry to say it, but i like Elektra from the original Miller story, doubt they can get that anywhere near working.

Releasing the movie on my birthday. Much <3 for Jennifer Garner!

I am geeked up for this movie!

(I'll admit it that this movie will either be really, really good, or REALLY, REALLY bad, but I'm excited for it anyway)

It's a bad sign when there are no real reviews pre-release. It appears they didn't want people to know how bad a stinker this one really is until they get some cash up front.

As of this writing there is only one positive review on rottentomatoes.com. The rest are all bad, some even comparing it to Catwoman. :(

We are witnessing yet another death of Elektra. This time it's her movie career.

I'm disappointed Marvel chose Elektra as a centerpiece to one of their movies. She's always just been a sidekick to Daredevil and was most interesting in the story already told in the first Daredevil movie.

I'm hoping the Fantastic Four will be a quality movie like the X-Men series and Spiderman series.
