Is it just me or....

Is Elektra being pushed like they expect it to be a flop out of the gate. I mean i thought that Blindy was pretty good and they setup elektra specifically at the end of that...i guess you could say im just a bit surprised.

Franklinnoble · 01-05-2005, 07:21 PM

Hey, Elektra might be good, but it's no Punisher.

Flasch186 · 01-05-2005, 07:27 PM

c'mon...nothing is as good as the punisher, and we know this.

Agreed.

I'm eagerly anticipating the sequel - "Punisher 2: Curse of the Underpants"

I thought Daredevil did horrible at the box office, why is there a sequel? Or am I wrong?

Flasch186 · 01-05-2005, 07:44 PM

its technically not a sequal...more a spinoff, i guess.

Ragone · 01-05-2005, 07:44 PM

Dolph Lundgren as punisher!

stevew · 01-05-2005, 07:47 PM

This movie looks pretty darn bad. I think it will do worse than Catwoman easily.

Nothing could be worse than Catwoman. Nothing. Except maybe that god awful Hulk movie.

Of course, I think the Spiderman movies are still the ones to beat in terms of the best in both quality and box office success as far as the recent spate of superhero films goes.

The weird part is that Elektra DIED in Daredevil. It'll be interesting how they do a spinoff with a dead main character.

Of course, I haven't read this line of comics, so I guess that could be integral to the plot...

I didn't see Catwoman or the Hulk, but this Elektra has got me a little interested.

That is what I've been wondering as well. I also haven't read this line of comics.

I agree that the movie looks like it is going to be bad. Unless I read plenty of good reviews from people I trust, I'll be waiting til this comes to cable to see it. However, I still think Jennifer Garner IS yummy.

stevew · 01-05-2005, 08:17 PM

I think they resurrect her with some ancient ninjas or something. Its something weird like that, im not a comics fan much either.

GrantDawg · 01-05-2005, 08:54 PM

Yeah, she comes back in the comic. It has been 20 years since I read it, so I don't remember.

CamEdwards · 01-05-2005, 09:01 PM

i thought it took place before the events in daredevil, but i could be wrong.

Celeval · 01-05-2005, 10:08 PM

I'm pretty sure Elektra is a prequel to DD.

B & B · 01-05-2005, 11:05 PM

Wow, does it matter, really?

I dont go for these comic book movies, but I did walk out of Hulk. That was at 130 am EST with multiple B&B's drank within the theatre at a midnight showing. Still walked out. Horrible movie, that Hulk. (and I missed the supposed Nolte monologue) Elektra is rental material at BEST.

Hulk is probably the worst movie i have ever seen in the theatre. It pissed me off a lot.

At the end does the hero blow up a bunch of cars to create a flaming image of boxers?!?!?
