Maybe because of the villains, who I found more interesting than the heroine, though the girl who played Abby was good. But why-why-why did Jennifer Garner stroll around like a model on a catwalk? (Halle Berry did the same in Catwoman.) It's so unatural and very, very hokey.I didn't hate this movie, but I definitely didn't think it was good. Garner was good eye candy, but the plot was just rehashed from these type of movies. It brought in the mystical to the DareDevil/Elektra world, which I wasn't fond of. The movie had good effect and looked good, but I got sick of watching white sheets drift through the air, etc.
* My brand-new rating system, gauged by use of the FF button in increments of 10% of running time. If I FF'd through a tenth of the film (ie, 9 minutes of a 90-min film), its FF rating is 1. Thus, the lower the FF rating, the higher my level of engagement. (Note, I didn't say the better the film. Crap can engage me.)

And why'd that dude (minor spoiler) die for them? He was obviously pissed that she brought them there and if I'm not mistaken, he even said something about her getting him killed. And I still don't get how Elektra could have beaten that really fast guy, I mean, he was really fast.
