Elektra reminds me the recent film of Queentin Tarentino, but of course much worse. It's like putting together the concept of Kill Bill and XMEN.
A continuous worship of the martial arts of the Eastern, or in particular the Hong Kong style Kungfu can be found in many Hollywood films now, and it's no deny that the Western production comprises an advanced development of shooting technique with their editing technology, and they attempt to produce their hi-tech version of kungfu. The film also pays a hommage to the Chinese style of Zen and meditation, at least superficially. Perhaps you will have a more enjoyable journey to the film if you simply view it as a real-play version of comic story... surely you can be better satisfied.
It is interesting in looking into the perception the Hollywood producers, or perhaps also the mindset of the Western world to the culture of the East or as they called, the 'mysterious Orient'...I am having a realistic feeling of this especially when I am staying in a world of curiosity where the French people have their fantasy and skeptics to the recent development in China...
One thing more, the screenplayer may have read the works of our Kungfu storywriter, Mr. Ku Lung...
