well....atleast she's still hot   :D
Oh whatever. Apparently I'm the only man on earth who thinks Jennifer Garner is easily the most overrated female celebrity on this planet. Well, next to Beyonce. I don't get why men find her so appealing, she's nothing special to me. And the living-in-mom's-basement fanboys will put down the cheetos for a few hours to run out and see this tripe because Garner is so "hot." It's sad, really.

The Enquirer gave Elektra an 8/10 and said Garner was amazing.

I'm seeing it tonight, hopefully.

Don't know if I'm gonna see this one yet.
Pros - Fantastic Four trailer, Jennifer Garner
Cons - I didn't like Daredevil much, it looks freaky, and I don't know much about Elektra in the first place

I saw it on DVD the other day... but I was all confuzzled as to why certain things were even in the movie... like, what is the point of her being ocd and having to arrange the fruit in a line?  I guess it was okay though.

The novelization's explanation for her OCD is that counting and having something to concentrate on keeps out Elektra's "bad thoughts" (i.e. about her mother's death). I can't remember if this scene was in the movie (I know it was in the novelization), but Abby asks E about it and that's how she answers.

She says, "I don't have OCD. What are you talking about?" or something along those lines.

yeah, denying it, but from her arranging everything it seems she does.

You should definitely buy the novelization; it has some great scenes that didn't make it into the movie. This movie could have an awesome director's cut!
The novelization explains more fully how E is resurrected, a bit more about the villians' powers, and so on. Plus Yvonne Navarro does a great job characterizing Elektra!
