Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The character of Stick was originally introduced in the Daredevil comic book as the man who taught Matt Murdock how to fight. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During one flashback, Elektra goes back to her ride in the ambulance when she dies. The paramedics use a defibrillator on her. A defibrillator is only supposed to be used on bare skin. They have it being used over a leather vest. However, this was most likely done to help connect the flashback to her final scene in Daredevil by showing the costume she wore that night, and to keep the rating PG-13. more

I'm not a comic fan, so I know nothing about this character. However, I found the movie to be action-packed and very entertaining.

My companions for this feature were a 12 year old girl and a 12 year old boy, as well as another mom. We all enjoyed the movie, and Garner's muscles and stunt work were impressive. This is a must-see for martial arts fans, in my opinion.

The visuals were stunning, as were the special effects. This movie is not deep drama, but was very well-made for its genre. Since I don't care for comic books or the movies about them, I expected this film to be a stinker. I was pleasantly surprised when it held my interest.
