Can't wait to see this flick!!!

based on the beloved character from Marvel Comics, & starring Jennifer Garner, it's gotta be good! it's a bit of a spin-off from "Daredevil". Although I love characters from DC Comics as well, I personally always thought Marvel's super-hero's were much better than DC's.

Although they have released older movies over the years, here are some of the recent, & up-&-coming live action movies of characters from the pages of MARVEL COMICS:

1. Blade 1, II, & III
2. X-men, X2: X-men United
3. Spider-man, Spider-Man 2
4. Daredevil
5. The Punisher
6. The Hulk
7. Elektra
8. Fantastic Four (being released this year, 2005)

In the works:
1. Iron Fist
2. X3
3. Ghost Rider
4. Dr. Strange
5. Daredevil 2
6. She-Hulk (being talked about)

Other Marvel characters with possible movies: Thor, Captain America, The Avengers, Black Cat, Cloak & Dagger, & Sub-Mariner.

Now, not to confuse anyone, here are characters you may recognize from DC COMICS:

1. Superman / Supergirl
2. Batman & Robin
3. Wonder Woman
4. Catwoman
5. Teen Titans
6. JLA: Justice League of America


So, ...who's gonna go see "Elektra"?
 
I know, I got all excited the other night, & thought it was gonna come out tonight, ...but it's next Friday (Grrr!)
I Guess tonight may just be "White Noise". 🙂
 
Movies looks like one I am going to love! 😀

-ant
 
Man she is hot lol

Fantastic Four will be released July 1st!

-ant
 
Yup, starring Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman in Fantastic Four.
In all honesty, I like Jessica Alba, & she's hott, but I think she prob isn't right for the character.
Invisible Woman has always been a type of 30/40-something suburban mom with blonde hair & blue eyes.

Then again, the directors seem to have gone for a younger cast approach for the "FF" movie. The movie poster looks hott!
 
I don't see movies very often.

I read on Yahoo that there is a script being written for a WonderTwins movie. lol
 
I like Jessica Alba too 😀 But you are right Company B.

LOL @ ChuckD :lol! Is that true? lol
 
I think it would be hott to see a Wonder Twins movie - lol. (updated of course!)
I just read that Marvels "Cloak & Dagger" 's movie idea has been tossed over for a live-action TV series instead. (Cloak & Dagger is da sh*t! ..Hott powers).
It's a urban NYC duo of a black guy & a white girl.

I just saw another long trailer for Elektra, & it's really getting me pumped - lol.
 
Yes Enigma, it's true.

Doesn't mean the film will actually get done, but a script is being written. I believe by the same people who do SpongeBob SquarePants.
 
The internet rumor mill has it that Nicholas Branden (who played Xander on Buffy The Vampire Slayer) would play Zan, and Christina Ricci would play Jayna.
 
Elektra was kool, ..I guess that just like "White Noise", I expected alot more.
Not bad movies, either of them, it's just that i'm the type that expects to be more impressed, especially from a Marvel film & beloved Marvel character.
I expected more I guess. More powers, etc.
But again, it was a good movie.

For those that don't know, X-men's "Wolverine" is a character that is part of Elektra's story used in the movie, ...but in the comics.
 
One character I really thought came out hott was "Tattoo".
Aside from being sexy, (in a vicious way), his power is that all of his animal tattoo's on his body can literally leap off his skin, & come to life, & attack his enemies at his every command. (Snakes, Wolves, Spiders, Hawks, etc).
Pretty kewl. 🙂

Typhoid Mary waz hott too.
She can kill you, or make you really sick with just one touch, or just one kiss. (Sometimes even just her presence can do so).
What kinda pissed me off is that in the comics she has blood-red hair, one whole half of her face is painted white (her trademark), & she's a psychotic biatch.
In the movie, she was a brunette, no half white face, & although bitchy, she was kool & collected.
They get a big "X" for really taking away from that character.
But very kool Marvel characters none the less.
 
Elektra I too expected a bit more. Although enjoyable had some story inconsistances and some things could have been explained better. As I said there were elements in the movie that should have been in Daredevil such as the stick character that was Daredevils teacher for martial arts. There were some other little things and although the hand ninja's died the way they do in the comic not all of the theater audience knows why this happened and that could have been explained.

As for Typhoid? Well the character in the movie was interesting but she is not the same character in the comics. Typhoid Mary as Company B pointed out has half her face painted white which may symbolize the characters split personality. Typhoid Mary has limited telekinetic powers and pyrokinesis(fire) and can psychically implant mental suggestions in the mind of another. Another thing is her fighting skills and the use of machetes, swords and other bladed weapons. I would have loved to have seen Typhoid Mary the comic version done in the movies. As for Typhoid and Typhoid Mary? Well one is a psychic psycho and the other is a walking plague psycho. I in my mind will think of both as two different characters. Hey if they do another Daredevil movie maybe Typhoid Mary will show? Hopefully!

As for the Elektra movie overall I still enjoyed it. It was interesting and entertaining. Marvel just needs to oversee a bit better next time and not end up like the DC movies. Then again the new Batman movie is showing alot of impressive potential. Maybe DC is finally learning to have a movie done right. We shall see.
