'Elektra' is "awful," admits its star

Elektra star Jennifer Garner is apparently even less impressed with her current film than its critics.

Her ex-boyfriend Michael Vartan, who dated her for a time in 2003, told US Weekly that he is still close to his Alias co-star and she recently complained to him about the movie.

He told the newspaper: "I heard (Elektra) was awful. Jennifer called me and told me it was awful. She had to do it because of Daredevil. It was in her contract."
