7. Elektra

2003's Daredevil wasn't a particularly good movie, but it had its moments, and Jennifer Garner did a fine job as Elektra. Her story was rushed, as was her death, but seeing her taken out by Bullseye was a nice homage to the comic books, and a solid way to potentially set up a Daredevil sequel.

Garner never actually wanted to reprise the role, but was contracted to do a spinoff, hence why this box office bomb was released two years later. "Jennifer Garner inhabits her role with earnest gusto, but Elektra's tone deaf script is too self-serious and bereft of intelligent dialogue to provide engaging thrills," reads the undeniably accurate Critics Consensus.

There's no denying that Garner did the best she could with the material on offer - and she looked phenomenal - but comic book fan-favourites like Stone and Typhoid Mary were wasted. The premise also happened to be paper thin, so it's no great surprise that it too boasts a lousy 11% score.

Why was it such a disappointment? Well, Fox and Marvel rushed it into production to work around Garner's Alias schedule, and the result was this massive let-down.
