Have I seen the same film the rest of you have?

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2002)

For years, I have been trying to maintain that differences in taste have nothing to do with gender and everything to do with personality, and I think the comments on "The Fifth Element" have proven me wrong. When I watched this movie (with my Bruce Willis obsessed finance), I had to turn it off it was so bad. And I even (generally) like sci-fi! The only plot element was saving the skimpily clad woman who wandered about making **cute** faces while the camera hovered over her body like an annoying mosquito. Wasn't anything else going to happen? When I finally saw this movie again, I realized that she and Bruce were destined to get together and fight some bad guys along the way. The majority of the film, however, is still dedicated to worship of the female body and violence against the female body. The near cult worship of this film baffles and frightens me. Really, is there some alternate version I missed, because I am convinced I did not see the same film the rest of you have~
