Elektra!

So I caught Elektra yesterday afternoon, and while not a great movie, it was still really good -- I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. There were a couple of changes from the comic book that I don't know if I'm too happy with (like how they completely changed Typhoid Mary), but from a movie making perspective, I can see why they did it, so I can't get too upset about it. And since Typhoid was incredibly hot (and that kiss was Elektra was so much fun to watch), I'm certainly not going to complain about her at all! The most inspired bit of casting, however, had to be Terence Stamp as Stick. He was so absolutely perfect for that role!! The fight scenes were really good, and of course Jennifer Garner was as wonderful as she is in every role that she does. All in all a fun time at the movies.

Attached to Elecktra was the first teaser for Fantastic Four, and I must say that I'm a lot more excited to see it now than I was before I saw the teaser. I think it might be right up there with the Spiderman movies as far as summer super hero blockbusters go (but I guess we'll have to wait and see). Of course, they also had the Sin City trailer in front of Elektra (which I'd already seen online), and in comparing them, I have to say I'm still more excited about Sin City than I am Fantastic Four. Either way, though, I think it's going to be a fun-filled summer at the movies this year.
