Honestly, WTF? Elektra? Way to go Marvel, throw out a whole movie about a hero the general public has never heard of. They are really catering to the fanboys with this one. Doubt I'll ever see it, maybe when it's on TV.

I don't really know about this one. I may see it just for the sake of seeing it. Marvel movies are usually pretty good.

I hated most of the Daredevil movie but this one looks interesting.

I agree, I liked Daredevil, if for nothing more than for Bullseye, but seriously, **** Elektra. Figuratively.

This doesn't look apealing at all. I imagine this'll probably be worse than the Namor movie. Hell, at least he has a mullet, and that's funny.

**** this movie.

Wait for Fantastic 4, or Constantine, or Batman Begins, ****, go see Fat Albert, I think it'd be better than this.

I'll probably go see this in the opening week or right after. Looks pretty interesting and these kind of movies are usually good.

I agree with both points here. I don't see the motive behind this film being made other than the longing from fanboys to see it. Also, I don't see myself going to a theater for this when I don't even follow the character as closely as say, another Marvel hero who needs a film -- Captain America.

I'll probably get dragged to see this only to get out of the house.

I agree, remember the one made in '91 I never saw it but I know enough about it to know what a peice of trash it was. It didn't even make it to the theaters did it? Anyways Jennifer Garner in tight fitting clothing count me in. But I probably wont see it though.

Jenn Garner in tight leather?

That's no reason to spend 8 bucks, dude.

a million Affleck fangirls used that as their reasoning for seeing Daredevil.....Look where that got him...

Well... This seems like an ok flick. I may actually see it in the theatres, but only if the reviews are decent. I believe Elektra is supposed to fight against the Hand, which I'd like to see since the Foot Clan was a parody of that...

I'll see it, if only because my husband has a celeb-crush on Jennifer Garner and I've got one on Jason Issacs. Whenever we pop out to see action movies like this, we always make some sort of drinking game out of it as alcohol is served at the theaters here. Like I, Robot's rules were simple: Every time Will Smith jumped onto/off of something, take a drink. If he says "AWW HELL NAW!", finish the bottle. I suspect with Elektra, I'll have to chug everytime I hear "B-but you're supposed to be dead!"

True. But remember these two things:
1) It's Marvel
2) It's Elektra

Didn't her body disappear at the end of the film? I can't remember exactly but I think it did.

I'm not sure about Elektra, the effects look good on the trailer but I don't think I'll rush out to see it.
