His response was along the lines of "Someday you'll be mature enough to realize how much this movie sucks." ...which basically killed all my enthusiasm. But, every time I've seen the movie since that point, I've been like "this is so cool! I mean some of the parts are weird, but it's a lot of fun and these characters are interesting and the actors are good and it's colorful and has interesting worldbuild and there are parts where all sorts of related things happen at once and" etc. etc. I've never gotten to the point of not enjoying it. I don't know if I'd feel differently if I'd seen all the movies this was parodying/copying/whatever, or if I'd seen more than a couple Bruce Willis films in general, but it seems like a good movie and I don't know why that guy hated it so much.

This is the greatest Sci Fi of all time. Critics like to bash on movies to make themselves look 'intellectual' even when they miss the entire point of the movie. The theme, word building, character development and backstory are all on point. This movie knows its a stylized quirky dystopian future thrill ride and runs it off the rails 110%.

[@bronwynreijnders7205]

Because he was dead inside, like a dried up, dusty spider in the attic. He probably only watches "real" dramas depicting the nihilistic angst of the human condition and doesn't have the soul or imagination to just enjoy the ride for what it is. Poor unfortunate soul; we should feel sorry for his limited existence.

[@Daneelro]

I don't know if this is true about your critic, but I remember that back when the film came out, many American critics & viewers failed to see that this film is part satire - satire both on modern American society & on certain US genre films. One line I remember in particular complained that Chris Tucker's character is over-the-top - when the whole point was that he is insufferably over-the-top.

[@rodrigosebastianpagano8198]

Roger Ebert gave it three stars, and a thumbs up. So there's that.

[@tigrou1426]

To all people interested in re-watching this movie: you'll notice that in many cases, a scene cuts to the next mirroring a line of dialogue, or action. It's remarkable how often this is used in the movie but is subtle enough to not get too obvious either... it's like watching the movie for the first time again after you notice!

_The Fifth Element_ was an _awesome_ movie; a _textbook_ example of the kind of thing that typified the late '90's, when awesome movies happened because people focused on making awesome movies instead of launching or carrying on franchises.
