100% nonsense

Rating: 1/10 (11 August 2014)

We went to see this movie last night with a few friends. I was expecting some action super heroine flick - the trailer did look very much like a simple super heroine movie which was more than inspired of the great movie "Limitless" from a few years back.
I've always liked Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman and I was looking forward to seeing the movie.
--------------SPOILER ALERT!---------------------
When we emerged 1½ hours later we were stunned. Not because it was so good, so clever or so well acted. It was because it was utter stupidity. The brain theory has been declined loads of times and none of the gibberish in this movie made me feel any smarter - actually I felt my IQ dimming a bit. It's not that I'm not clever enough to follow philosophy - it's more that I'm not dumb enough to act the sheep to this shepherd.
The story goes from simple super hero origin story to utter madness and though I can see some elements of his former glory in this movie (Leeloo's way of not fitting into this world is depicted quite well as Lucy gets more and more inhuman), I can also see a Luc Besson with no honest person beside him to call him on his BS.
Lucy doesn't go for the drug dealers - she is gathering the drugs for research (and consumption). The one time she comes close to the boss and has him at her mercy, she let's him go? Though she knows first hand how dangerous he is.
There's plot holes galore in the mad movie and I hate that I actually spent money on this!
