In fact the �Fifth Element� is perfectly fine. It is one of those entertaining and stupid movies, sometimes with good taste but without any pretentiousness or self-importance. Contrary to them the very similar ludicrous, pompous and overbearing movies like �Joan of Arc� and �Dogma� made me to run out.

If you go to every movie searching for meaning sometimes you will be quite disapointed when you only find entertainment. The 5th is indeed quite entertaining so long as you dont take it too seriously. And how how could anyone watch Oldman's evil Zorg without chuckling to themselves as he happily goes right over the top in his depiction of complete evil? You're a monster ... "I know."
And the bumbling priest's bumbling apprentice? Priceless...
Fortunately I missed Joan of Arc - it had "vehicle for directors wife" written all over it in the previews so I made a point of sorting my sock drawer that day...

Yeah, you're right - I watched it a second time on TV, without the initial anger I felt the first time. For a french director, he does Holy Wood almost too well. The scripts turn out like European McDo's - where you have a bit of everything so that everyone's...er...satisfied!

  Jeff, if approach the �Fifth Element� seriously and express anger during the watching then it is clear indication that you red wrong books during your childhood (I love you too). Try lessening the amount of digital devices in your signal path it could help against anger�

    ...'The Incredible Hulk' had a less than positive effect on my patience neurons as a child...and digital implants didn't help the situation either...;0)
