   Not Exactly Elektrafying
   Haha. "Elektrafying." Sorry. Just wanted to say that real bad, kind of like how I said "X-citing" in every piece I wrote about the X-Men movies. Then again, the X-Men movies were X-citing for all the right reasons…the script, actors, and director are all getting Elektrafied here, not the audience. And boy, are they ever burnt to a crisp.

   First of all, let me say that I was in the minority that saw Daredevil for what it truly was: A fun, undemanding, highly entertaining, leather-clad summer adventure. Jennifer Garner’s character of Elektra was pretty neat, much better in the comics, but I figured that an entire feature about the sai-wielding assassin couldn’t be that bad.

   Enter: Two years later, sitting at a theater showing Elektra. Whoops. Even I can have bad judgment at times. Elektra is a dead, soulless, bland, uninspired, boring, cliched, trite, and hackneyed piece of claptrap that never rises above direct-to-video standards. That said, though, there are some moments so awful that they shall be forever etched into Hollywood’s large, overpopulated Wall of Shame.

   My favorite bit:

   Abby, an annoying little girl: "Elektra, why do you kill people for a living?"

   Elektra: "Because it’s what I’m good at."

   A brief, contemplative pause.

   Abby: "That’s MESSED-UP."

   So bad it’s, well, bad.
