Elektra

[JamesMFan]

It's really not as bad as everyone says.

I'M GOING TO WATCH IT TOMORROW THEN !!!

[JamesMFan]

YAYAYAYA!

I have to say though that I had a hard time equating this Elektra with the one from Daredevil. They seemed to me to be too different characters.

There's some good action though.


I also watched the Daredevil Directors Cut and was a bit surprised. It was crap. Ha. I didn't like the added scenes at all, it slowed down the story and I can see why they took them out. They also removed quite an important scene.

I think I'll have to buy yet ANOTHER copy of DD on DVD just so I can have the one I like.

[z]

I'd heard they were quite different versions of Elektra .

I'm still intrigued by the directors cut I'll wait till its £1.99 though

[JamesMFan]

I was hoping there'd be some Matt Murdock in Elektra but, alas no, although the deleted scenes held a nice surprise.

[z]

I miraculously found my copy of Elektra today and many Alias season 4 eps in the search through my unlabelled discs

Im intrigued by the surprise on the extras

[JamesMFan]

I have a whole pile of unlabelled videos and I go through them every now and then and am surprised by the sorts of things I find on them.

[z]

Its a terrible way to be , but the process of putting stickers on seems so tedious and put offable

[JamesMFan]

Exactly! I mean, I know in the long run it will save me time and bother but I'm living in the now!

When you need to urgently tape something too , you'll quickly put a tape in unlabelled , once it goes in unlabelled the chances of it ever attaining labelled status are less than 3%.

This Elektra seems ok , low keyish so far .

[z]

I saw it and liked it , It suited my current tiredish laid back state

I think the early 7/10 reviews were alot closer to the thruth than the way its reported as a monstrousity now . That does seem to be a trend , a 7/10 film is treated as an unmitigated disaster 6 months later .

It reminded me of Solaris , in that it was slow and quiet and i loved it but all my pals say its the worst film ever made

I loved the way she stripped off to reveal her Red outfit before battling the ninja lads . She's got a great walk .
The gas scene was a sensation , and her murdering of the Oriental fellow and the evil woman using her sword was great too

I liked how she was seemingly walking out of their lives tortured hero style at the end too , women can be moody miserable heroes too

It didnt feel too much like Dardevil Elektra but because i liked it i told myself , well dying can change a person , Buffy took it badly

[JamesMFan]

The walk - yowsa! I've seen JG do that as Syd too sometimes. You know she means business when she does that walk.

I'm still not convinced that Elektra isn't the Treasure. I think they were trying to throw us off with that girl .

I didn't believe in the sort-of romance with Goran. It just didn't work, luckily they didn't go that far. They had no chemistry.

By far the better kiss was when Typhoid Mary snogged her and all the leaves were falling down turning brown, and they sort of bent to the floor Matrix style. I loved that part.

I liked that she was moody too as they usually make women heroine's sort of perky. She dressed in black a lot and looked good too. I've watched some of the extra's and they say the reason she wears red is because she knows she so damn good, that she doesn't care if they see her. Ooooh.

I thought the effects with all the sheets flying around was a little lame, it was alright when they were just in the background but seeing them whirl around the ceiling was stupid.

I liked the flashbacks and the way that when she walked up to that house, the sky was a strange colour.

I haven't seen Solaris, I always wanted to. I hear there's Clooney bum.

[z]

Its a great walk , especially in the Red uniform thing .

Yeah thats a good point , Maybe Blind bloke invented the whole thing including that girl to get Elektra back on the rails

I would have liked them to have had Nadia play the part of Typhoid Mary


I was sort of expecting the ending to be them becoming a family , im glad that wasnt it and we got to see her go off all moody and mysterious . I'd like a sequel , but dont like my chances

I want to see Daredevil again maybe tomorrow

Solaris is great and depressing
Clooneys arse gets plenty of exposure , i think they were annoyed that the advertisers wanted to use that as the main hook

[JamesMFan]

That blind man was nifty with a weapon.

I liked the bit when the girl battered the llad she was training with
