No one bit when this movie came out in theatres because Daredevil was bad enough; who would want to see the spawn of a badly made movie? But Electra is another creature on its own. It gives nods to the events in Daredevil, most notably Elektra's death, and it uses the villains called The Hand which do appear in marvel comics.
The problems with this movie are apparent in the first minutes of the movie. Uh, wasn't this the "ultimate battle of good and evil?" What you'll get in this movie is a battle between Elektra and the Hand. That's it. There are no cataclysmic events and no mega powerful beings tearing up the scenery. I am really disgusted with every movie that comes out and uses the "ultimate battle between good an evil" as a tag line. Spare me.
What they do good in this movie is give Elektra some human traits to go with her badassness. She has OCD, which is evident when she's seen washing her floor and we're told that she's always doing this. There are two more scenes where she has OCD behavior, and this was very interesting.
I also liked that Elektra's personality had changed from the Daredevil movie and in the end she somewhat returns to a more emotional person.
This movie is not trash, but some things will have your head scratching. The villains had interesting powers, but they were not interesting enough. And why did they turn to green dust? And why did one bad guy suddenly pop up from nowhere when he wasn't even in the previous scene where all the villains were plotting their attack? This is a rental at best, and the DVD was not impressive because no comic book history was implanted into it.
