Critics Reviews: 5 out of 10

Boston Globe
Watching Jennifer Garner produces a strange cognitive dissonance:
Why would such a nice girl want to put her boot in your throat?
On "Alias" she plays a spy. In "Elektra," which opens today,
she plays an assassin. And the only difference between Garner's
new movie and her four-year-old television show is that the movie is boring.

"Elektra" plays like a collision between leftover bits and pieces of Marvel superhero stories...
The movie's fight scenes suffer from another condition, attention deficit disorder.
Roger Ebert
USA Today
In her latest film, Elektra, a spinoff of last year's Marvel comic-book movie Daredevil,
she seems wooden and dour, as if she is made cranky by her unearthly physical power.
Claudia Puig
New York Times
The latest Hollywood movie to give comic books a bad name, ''Elektra'' stars
Jennifer Garner as a superheroine who dons fetish-wear the color of blood before
laying waste to every man in sight.
