| Elektra
|
Starring Jennifer Garner, Elektra as you would have known if you have watched Daredevil (which they had banned in Malaysia but I watched it anyway), is a comic character. For comparison, Elektra's plot and storyline was not as good as Daredevil but the movie overall was better, for me at least. I definitely enjoyed Elektra more. Back to the movie, the storyline lacked depth and energy... The introduction was too long, limiting the time for action and thrill... which I want more of... though it's much better than Spiderman to me... I'm not too big of a fan of that movie... which I also thought the intro just just way too long... Anyway... I think the best thing about the movie was Elektra or rather Jeniffer Garner... who played her role well... and she was... well HOT... hahaha... her outfit made her look cool... but Garner has a really weird walk... I think it's all the training for Alias and all these action movies... hahaha... as for the other actors... they didn't actually have to do much... just a bit here and there... easy stuff... the only other person who had to do some major acting was the bad guy who was after the good guys... mostly action though and yeah that's it... So what's the movie about... Elektra is an assasin for hire and is the best... she was trained by the best but because she only had hate and violence in her mind they had to "let her go". Now (quite sometime later), she is given a new target, a man and his daughter. But before she knew she had to kill them, she got to know them and the conflict between personal and business starts to roam aound in her mind. No, she did not hae the heart to kill them. In fact she ends up protecting them and saving them from the bad guys. Yeah there are more bad guys after them. It turns out later that she was hired by her old sensei... a wise, blind and powerful old man, a master in the art of ninjutsu... and the girl that was initially her target was the "The Treasure"... legend to bring a balance between good and evil (yes just like Anakin Skywalker)... and "The Treasure" exists every generation and every generation, the good and evil will battle to get hold of her (yes, it's always a her). Anyway, the story behind this movie is basically about self-discovery and you should look deep inside and of course the classic "good thriumps over evil"... I say... watch it... Jennifer is worth it... hahahaha... Cheers...
