forced into Elektra hell

Every other saturday my friends and i go to the cinema. Each time we go, the movie to be seen is chosen by whom ever turn it is. We all have to sit through the decision whether we agree with it or not. Yeah, well this time around i got to sit through Elektra. I still believe that my friend hudge chose this movie because he knew how much i loathed the idea of the film, and last trip i made everyone sit through finding neverland. I made that decision fully aware of how much hudge did not want to see it. these trips to the theater have really turned into getting even with each other every time we go someone usually picks a flick based on how much they think someone else is going to hate it.

Now, i willingly went to see catwoman, iand i usually willingly got to see bad movies that i know full well to be bad. I have never sat through such a spectacle of shit such as this. Atleast catwoman had a fine body to look at. Sitting through this mistake of a film i got the intention that the writers, actors and entire production team really thought they had somthing here. With over dramtic dialogue and extreme over, under and just flat out poor acting the stars of this colon cancer really tried, and that is sad. I tried to let loose and keep an open mind that this trip into misery was going to be nothing more than eye candy. Even if i had been brainwashed manchurian candidate style i could not have taken away a single peice of entertainment. The slight intellect in me was laughing at me for not leaving, then started crying because i did infact sit through the entirety of the film. I tried at points to heckle the picture, but seeing how the wretchedness of the film leached into my mind, i was left a mindless zombie.

After the credits started rolling i sat for a few moments to try and gather what pieces of my intellect remained. I even stayed a few extra moments to process what just happened. I guess my state could be described similar to what they call shell shock, which is a common diagnoses given to post war veterans. I am still stunned from it and am trying to convince myself that Elektra was not designed from the Antichrist. You can surely add elektra to nearly endless examples of why not to make movies. I guess my friend hudge got his revenge. He actually enjoyed it. My other friends don't take movies to the heart as i do, but suffered similar ailments as i.

Yes people they will make anything. elektra was far worse than catwoman, and tarnishes the good qualities of the comic book universe. no miffed

this is the funniest thing i've ever read and i completely agree with it

was it me or did garner try too hard to crack a tear in the sentimental scenes, i see her making this "crying" face for like 5 minutes and she never popped the damn tear out, i've seen grade-Q actors crack a damn tear, or at least grade-Q directors use fake tears lol

it was that terrible...

thing about the reviews i didnt like was that they seemed to think us comic readers would lap this up... which is wrong because we'd be more critical than even them...

Yeah exactly, we hated Catwoman and we hate Elektra (well I don't since I didn'T see either cause I know I would die or at least not be the same afterwards), we did hate them didn't we? Daredevil sucked edit too.

imo the action was really bad, if they didnt edit out the wires it would've looked better lol, i saw a zoomed out version of the last fight with the wind dude, they do the same movements throughout the whole scenes, but the extremely zoomed in camera effect they used in the movie made it a little less bad, but more confusing than ever lol
