Elektra

Of the 30+ superhero movies that have been released since 2000, Elektra is ranked as one of the worst, with good reason.  The film explores the story of the title character, who was introduced in the movie Daredevil.  In that film, she dies, but thankfully there are karate masters who can bring people back to life, so she's resurrected, and lives the life of an assassin.  One of her targets, unbeknownst to her, is a girl of great power- called "the treasure" by the Hand, an evil organization of karate people.  Apparently, the treasure is the difference-maker in the never-ending battle between good and evil, so the Hand is looking for her.  Elektra is sent to kill her, but decides to have mercy, and ends up throwing in her lot with the treasure and her father.  Elektra's old organization- I don't know what they're called, so let's call them the good karate people- helps out in protecting the child, which is good, because the evil karate people have special abilities like:
- having tattoos that come to life and chase the good guys through the forests
- being impervious to bullets and weapons (but can be killed by falling tree trunks, apparently)
- being able to slowly drain your life by touching you
Both the good and people people can see the future, which is pretty cool, and they use it as a plot device to make anything they want happen.

It's a weird, erratic film, with a few good elements thrown into a sea of confusion.  Not recommended.

Rating D--
