Jennifer Garner wasn't bad, but I think Jessica Alba might have been better.

Jennifer Garner would have been perfect if they dye her hair black and straightened it.
They should have also gave her the right costume, the red silky sexy costume. Not the black lethear costume, its a Catwoman costume.

The movie reminds me of Batman and Catwoman in Batman Returns.

I had my complaints about Jennifer Garner. She played the part very well, but something just about her look didn't thrill me. However, I would've shot myself, had they casted Jessica Alba.

I would've said somebody greek but then they did go non-caucasian with Kingpin so we can't be too narrow-minded..I'm still waiting for a pakistani to play Superman but they're not that open-minded...are they?

Jessica Alba is delicious but I would never want to see her playing Elektra unless there was a nude scene in the film.

I really can't think of anyone other than Jennifer Garner right now. She's gorgeous, a very good actress, has natural ass kicking abilities and is young enough to keep making sequels.

Hurm... maybe someone more Greek looking. Then again Garner could pass for Greek. People kept saying that she's too white. I'm Greek and I'm whiter than her! Still there's a certain sterotypical Greek look, especially the more tan look of the islands where I think she was supposed to be from.

Heh. I was seeing an Italian girl who I thought was better looking than Garner and had those gorgeous Mediteranian features. Unfortunatley, it didn't last long enough to see the film with her and I never metnioned the thought to her.

As much as i liked her in that white top, i have to say Elektra could have been casted better. While Alba is athletic and hot, she's not quite perfect either. Surprising enough, i think that with the right make up and artificial aging Mila Kunis (Jackie,That 70's Show) could better fit the look. Athleticism is iffy tho.

All the artificial aging in the world can't hide how petite she is. I do like her though. Has she been in any movies because I think she would make a nice WonderGirl.

Ahh, Elektra by Jen Garner was okay. She should have dyed her hair black as someone suggested and maybe had a slight accent, but then that might come off as kind of unnatural. I have yet to see Alias, but I hear Jen Garner plays people from all over the place so maybe she could have pulled it off. Also, I thought it too bad that they didn't put in Stick and her early training. She came off as just being vengeful because of her father rather than being full of pain and anger which kind of works better. Daredevil being the guy who kind of calms her down would have worked just fine. Longer film next and maybe they can cover it in the spinoff flick.
