just plain fun

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2005)

After the 'Ultimate weapon' Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) escapes from government captivity falling into the taxi of Corben Dallas (Bruce Willis), she pleads for his help, which he hesitantly gives. They're not only chased by the military but by Zorg (Gary Olman) who has linked himself with Evil and plans to get 4 stones that Leeloo needs to save the universe, but for less altruistic reasons then her. What follows is a great action packed movie. Chris Tucker as DJ Ruby Rhod is pretty annoying at times, but it isn't as much so as to aversely affect my accolades for the film. All the primary actors are great, the action set pieces are a blast and the computer generated scenery is much more appealing then the one's found in Star Wars: Episodes 1 and 2. While it may not be my favorite Luc Besson film (That high honor goes to Leon), it still is a fun ride.
