I Like it But There Are Some Flaws

Rating: 7/10 (19 April 2016)

This is a movie I really enjoy watching. It's interesting, visually stimulating, and fun. It's well acted and for the most part, well scripted. The are only two things that really bothered me. The first would be that Leeloo is supposedly a supreme being, but she doesn't seem to be all that supreme. She always needs saving, in fact she's pretty useless, almost a burden. The one who always saves her and actually gets things done is Corbin, the fact that he's more capable than a supposed supreme being makes her seem pretty lame. The second thing that bothered me was the scene where they need Leeloo to stop the destruction of Earth and she asks why she should when everything that humans create is destructive. Um, what? This is a world in which human and several other alien races live together and humans are the ones getting blamed for war and destruction. That's a pretty weak argument for wiping out an entire species. Not to mention, the antagonists in most of the violent situations in this movie were the aliens themselves. This scene is probably the worst in the movie and exposes some flaws in the plot. Really, the only thing I didn't like about this movie was Leeloo's character. She could have been written so much better, though I still think Mila Jovovich did her best with the script she had to work with.
