Elektra Movie Review

Death's not so bad. How do I know? I watched Elektra once. Daredevil may have turned a profit, but when Ben Affleck’s box office draw began to fade, 20th Century Fox opted for a spin-off instead of a sequel. And despite dying at the end of Daredevil, Jennifer Garner returned to reprise her role as Marvel’s deadly assassin in Elektra. Clad in her iconic red outfit, Elektra is now a hired killer trying to reclaim her conscience when she’s tasked with eliminating a man and his young daughter—targets who may be tied to a powerful mystical force known as “The Treasure.” Standing in her way is ancient ninja clan The Hand, along with a gallery of supernatural killers. Is Elektra a treasure for comic book movie fans, or should this franchise have stayed buried with its heroine? Listen to Jakob, Stuart, and Arnie on Now Playing Podcast to find out.
