dull dull dull

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2004)

Well I'm stuck in this evening and have a choice of the Patriot or the Fifth Element... I find myself stuck between a rock and a hard place. I picked the Fifth Element and was reminded of why I was so disappointed with this movie, I love Luc Besson's previous work but this is terrible. Gary Oldman's bad accent, leaden script, the crappy special effects... lets hope the French don't set the design agenda for the future (re: see through plastic skull caps). In the headlong rush to create a rich world full of novel concepts the plot is totally forgotten... a sorry case of content being sacrificed for style.
