ReelViews
One of the least effective comic book-to-movie stories to have come along in the past few years. Without a viable screenplay, there's nowhere for the character to go, and no way to avoid making her look silly. - 50
Variety
Elektra proves no more than fitfully satisfying, a character-driven superhero yarn whose flurry of last-minute rewriting shows in a disjointed plot. - 50
Charlotte Observer
Watching this is like sitting by a pinsetter at a bowling alley. That's too bad, because the picture had potential. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
"Kill Bill" without irony, and without Quentin Tarantino's flair for cool dialogue and chop-socky action (and without Uma Thurman, for that matter), Elektra is a pretty-looking, pretty dull adaptation of the Marvel Comic about a dishy, deadly assassin. - 40
The New York Times
No question, the film's best special effect is Ms. Garner, especially when she's in costume. - 40
Los Angeles Times
No fun at all. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
Just as all regular models can't be supermodels, so all action chicks can't be superheroines. Elektra Natchios turns out to be walled off rather than mysteriously alluring; blank rather than deep. - 30
L.A. Weekly
When a movie makes you wish you were watching Halle Berry in "Catwoman," something is most definitely wrong.
