I only watched it for...JENNIFER GARNER!(Part 2)

In the pretty good but not perfect movie Daredevil(2003) Matt Murdock(The Ben Affleck) doesn't need sight to know that Elektra Natchios is smokin'. They have a"meet cute" in the diner. It turns out that Elektra doesn't like to be followed, even by blind dudes, which leads to a gravity defying fight on a playground seesaw in full view of a group of children.

Elektra's father is murdered, so she does what any of us would do in that situation:  practices crazy martial arts with sais and dresses up in a costume for revenge! Gratuitous violence against sandbags!

Elektra finds herself  outmatched by wacko assassin Bullseye(Colin Ferrel.)She gets skewered by her own weapon, first through her hand, and then right through her pretty little heart!


Ouch! Somebody call a doctor! Perhaps Jennifer Garner's character from Dallas Buyer's Club.

 

BONUS:  The DVD has a behind the scenes special which aired on HBO, hosted by Her Royal Lipiness. There's a cute moment in which Garner expresses love for those sea monkeys that were advertised  on the backs of old comic books. Worth the price of the whole thing!
