Viewing Notes

Still not good but couldn’t resist a revisit #iykyk

Despite not being keen on Jennifer Garner getting cast for this character she puts in the work and does the best she can with the material. Sadly she wasn’t given good material.

Haven’t seen this since its theatrical release but it’s not as bad as I recall. But still not good. The story is lame made even worse knowing all the cool Elektra stories they could’ve used. Amazing that Terence Stamp looks the same today as he does in this 20yo movie.

Still crushing on Typhoid Mary (Natassia Malthe) even tho it’s not a v good depiction of the character. Too bad she got the Kelly Hu treatment.

Lastly, when you need an evil Asian character, cast Cary Hiroyuki. Not surprisingly he’s my second most seen actor from this movie (following Jason Isaacs who hilariously only has a cameo in this and is uncredited).
