Assassin-for-hire Elektra works for a mysterious international organization known as the Hand, for which she kills her targets without question, and in a conspicuous red bustier, no less. When the Hand asks her to kill Mark Miller and his daughter, Abby, while they're on holiday, Elektra's conscience kicks in, and she decides to protect her targets rather than eliminate them. Of course, the Hand isn't so willing to let them off the hook.

Critics Consensus

Jennifer Garner inhabits her role with earnest gusto, but Elektra's tone deaf script is too self-serious and bereft of intelligent dialogue to provide engaging thrills.

The real issue I have with this movie is how uneventful so much of it feels.

If the film isn't as bad as some others in the comics-to-cinema genre (Halle Berry's Catwoman has rather lowered the bar), that's not to say it's good.

No doubt exists as to whether or not she’ll win out in the end; nothing is really at stake.

Even at just a slim 96 minutes, the film drags in places, with a predictable plot.

3/5

The special effects are well realized and enough attention is paid to the character of Elektra to make her a formidable rival to any number of Wolverines.

If you ever thought it be super cool to see the socialite daughter of a Greek mafioso millionaire caught up in an unexplained magical realm of ninjas and ancient Eastern mysticism, this movie will prove how wrong you were. This was the longest 5 hours of my life. Crouching Storyline, Hidden Substance

Might be the worst Marvel project I’ve ever seen. Too much is happening in here, I lost track of this a couple of times. And the side characters are nothing. I honestly don’t think Jennifer Garner is bad in here, but Elektra feels like an entirely different character than what she was in Daredevil. Just a huge waste of time, if you like Elektra in Daredevil, stick with that version of her.

Loved it. No idea what the reason for ridiculously low rating is, perhaps everybody on the same bandwagon?, Anywhoooo, great cinematography, classic comic book style story, good visual effects and overall ambiance. Whole cast convincing in character and lots of action, mystery, twists and intrigue. One of my favorites, easy to watch

Nope, this movie feels just stupid and meaningless, even with the performance of Jennifer Garner, which is the very less evil, there is no point of making this.

Elektra (2005) is a film that has several problems, starting with the story, which is not interesting enough to keep the audience engaged and the lack of action, which takes a long time to happen.
