Thanks for the "anti-Elektra" support MovieDude :Grins: as Naturalflux has stated. Either way if it gets screened or not, its funny. Currently right here
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/elektra/?critic=all
Its at 12 bad reviews and still at 0% rating but hold on.. check out its 3/10 average rating score. I think this turd may surpass Catwoman in bad reviews if this hold up. Heck even Racing Stripes is doing alot better :laugh:

Maybe they should of really cancelled all the screenings for the press after all :laugh:

You know?? One has to really wonder if this movie "Elektra" REALLY is that bad to garner a 0% on the so called RT Tomato Meter or is it once again a contest to see who can put a movie down the best which RT is famous for??? I'll laugh if this movie which has a so called 0% on the RT Tomato Meter makes a bunch of $$$ this weekend.. :-k

So you made up the whole screening thing Roid? Classy.

Everyone knew Elektra wasnt getting good reviews - but i mean if its any lower than 10% by the end then ill be very miffed.

BKB, i have to agree with you here. I think that this genre, timeframe and type of film was always going to up against negativity for a January release - and perhaps the reviews wont be totally sincere.

That said its 3.2/10 average rating from 15 reviews "Catwomans" 3.1 .
Just hoping that some critics are going to like this film - and of course bad reviews will put audiences off, but not to the extent of Catwoman. Still, im dissapointed but not surprised by "Elektra" and her critical crusade.

Over at MSNBC, all 3 openers were not reviewed kindly, with "Carter" slammed for being too conventional "Elektra" slammed for being too 2d and "Stripes" falls short.

Nope I didnt make it up but it was posted by at least 3 critics who normally have press screenings that they delayed the movie to be shown in their area. Its just some areas that the screenings are delayed. Nice try calling me a liar

Check this one out guys. 15 reviews and its still at 0%

Its no wonder they are delaying some of the screenings

Why do you constantly enjoy in provoking immature arguments worthy of only yourself and a 12 year old?

You said
"Ok maybe I was wrong about critics not screening it

BUT
10 reviews at rotten tomatoes and its at 0"

So you pretty much said that you were wrong about it, the facts links you provided didnt have it and then you say "dont call me a liar" when you pretty much said that this thread was based on a wrong fact that you seemingly pulled out of the air?

Funny how Racing Stripes is still getting better reviews than Elektra for all the "crap" that the posters are posting about Racing Stripes. Oh and Im not a band wagon jumper since I said that Elektra looked like crap when the trailers hit back in december.

Im not wasting any more time arguing with you.

You can go on and spam the forums with anti-elektra stuff as much as you want, its not up to me to stop you and to be perfectly frank, i dont really care.

Those of us who wanted to see Elektra before now will STILL go and see Elektra, me included. Im a big Garner fan, i think this film looks pretty neat and want to see what "Crouching Tiger goes to Hollywood" will look like. For Garner fans, even if this film stinks like theres no tomorrow, then she will still provide us with consolation. That said i was hardly kind to Daredevil when it was released, and just hope that Elektra isn't as bad for me.

Its only you that is arguing with me and you do it with EVERYONE in this forum because they dont conform with your Garner fetish. And yes I did admit that maybe I was wrong about critics not being able to screen it, the pain that some areas got to get some screenings for Elektra. As I said the maybe the sources at Rottentomatoes are wrong and they are still saying they wont get any screenings till tonite. I have already told you were I got my sources. Do you like read every reviews word by word on all Garner reviews since thats how it seems like it on your crappy website?

I think that avatar's of yours needs one of those catwoman masks since I really dont see a difference between the two

Actually Elektra looks like this guy too :Grins:

I think stooping to personal attacks is a bit, well pathetic. Especially on a message board.
If you do have to dive for the low swoop, then it just shows that your argument is really weak.

All i can hope for from Elektra is that it dosen't bomb. Jennifer Garners career will always have Alias to fall back on when a movie bombs, and her next project is looking like her most promising of her movie roles to date.

You mean kind of like telling Algren to STFU in one thread and berating PinkPanther's taste in stars after he created that other Garner thread? I think some people need to take their own advice.

I think it would just be better if you dont really reply to these threads. It will give you less of a headache

http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117925 ... Id=31&cs=1 over at Variety is hardly a 0% worthy review. The review calls it "fitfully satisfying" although it also points out that the plot is too disjointed.

Its a Variety review, a magazine that has substantial clout in the reviewing world. Furthermore, Elektras tomatometer rating will probobly only become clear come saturday, since the Tomatometer only has 13 reviews right now.

I dont know if the Variety article is even a positive review since I dont have a subscription for the movie. Regardless after 16 reviews in a row and they are all rotten, it will end up with worse reviews than any Michael Bay movies, Van Helsing, LXG and even Catwoman. Heck at least Van Helsing and Bad Boys 2 managed more than 20% of the rotten reviews. It tells you something if Elektra scores below 10%, it means the same critics who loved LXG and Van Helsing hated Elektra

Catch and Release, from the writers of Erin Brocovich, a drama about a newly-widowed woman who begins to unravel a secret life lead by her husband.

The review was OK, it basically said - first half - good, second half starts to falter because it cant decide wether its an action or a drama, but it did mention that the film was satisfying but with plot problems. However it also said the film had peroids of intelligence from the script. Id call it an OK review, weighing up the good and the bad,

However, compared to Varietys total slamming of "Catwoman" this one comes up roses.

Catwoman Quote from review
"Warner Bros. plummets to the dimmest recesses of popcorn inanity with "Catwoman," which, even by the standards of comic book adaptations, requires a suspension of disbelief surely beyond most audiences. Risible yarn about a mousy underachiever rendered superhuman by arcane pussy power plays like a Lifetime movie on estrogen overdose, barely held together by a script that should have been tossed out with the kitty litter"

Elektra Quote from review
"Jennifer Garner's Elektra was clearly the most memorable thing about "Daredevil," so they revived her from apparent death and jettisoned her horned boyfriend. Yet solo adventure "Elektra" proves no more than fitfully satisfying, a character-driven superhero yarn whose flurry of last-minute rewriting shows in a disjointed plot. Garner's ascendant star, eye-catching billboards and a relatively modest budget should yield a respectable bounty as the pic fights its way through various forms of exhibition"
