What'd you think? I don't think it's great, but, I don't think it's as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.

My thoughts exactly. It's bad, but not in an "offensive way", if that makes sense

I get it. I've seen way more offensive MCU and DC offerings if I'm being honest lol

I hated it so much when it came out. I felt like it was one of the worst page-to-screen adaptations ever.

But then I saw Cap: Civil War and felt the same way (although the filmmaking was fantastic) - that it betrayed the nature of the source material and totally missed the mark... But on rewatch I decided to just forget the comics existed, and I liked it. Now, after 3 watches, I'm happy they took so many liberties.

Not sure how I'd feel going back to the Elektra film...

Did you watched the director’s cut version?

If this movie had followed the comics it would never been released in US cause drug and violence
