Relentlessly ridiculous (possible spoilers)

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2001)

Wow, what a mess--it's hard to believe this is the same guy who was responsible for the excellent Leon. I guess this was supposed to be some kind of SF farce, but whatever it was, it did not work. The jokes, such as they were, fell flat, and the plot, recycled and mangled from every previous SF film, was filled with holes (why did the diva wait till after her show to give up the stones--who knows? except as a convenience for the director), and the embarrassing denouement of Leeloo (ugh) becoming so upset over humanity's propensity for war (this after she beat the hell out of a gaggle of alien bad-guys; guess that was ok) but being convinced by Dallas to save humanity for love. Yarg. Two hours is a long time to set up what must have (must have!) been a bad parody.
The longer the film ran, the more the rating fell. It bottomed out. 1/10.
