#123 Elektra (2005)

Get ready as we dissect "Elektra" (2005) on the Bad Movies Rule Podcast. Directed by Rob Bowman, this flick promises more ninja action, but my step dad made promises too and look where that got us.

Join us as we follow Jennifer Garner's portrayal of Elektra Natchios (not Nachos, sadly), an assassin with supernatural skills that she rarely uses, on a mission that's part NPC escort quest, part fighting F List characters, and all parts perplexing. With villains so dumb, they make you question why you're watching, and a plot trying so hard, it rivals a tween at a sleepover.

But here's the million-dollar question: Does "Elektra" shine as an unintentional comedy gem in the superhero genre, or is it just a punchline in the grand joke of cinematic history? Join us as we slice and dice our way through the madness, delivering our verdict on whether "Elektra" is a hilariously electrifying hit or a super-powered "seriously, what were they thinking?" miss.
