word I love Fifth Element

I know people that really liked Joan of Arc too, but I wasn't that crazy about it

Didn't he do unleashed? that movie was fucking ill - bob hoskins murders shit every time he's on screen. Anway, it had the Besson formula of opening action sequence, some plot, 45 minutes of relationship type stuff, and then a bad-ass ending that threatens said relationship where a lot of people get murked...

i love the professional, leon feels like a different movie to me. and word, gary oldman is the best thing about it...

Fifth Element was ok. Looked good but Chris Tucker ruined that movie for me.

the fight scenes were ok, the film being set in glasgow and not a single person having a scots accent was a bit dumb but not a killer. jet li playing a teenage boy? fuck off

and they should have left the name as danny the dog
rza scored it though right? didn't notice any especially good music when i saw it, gonna re-watch it one day with the music in mind

There was nothing in taht movie to say he's supposed to be a teenager. Now him playing a retard is genuinly a stretch.

Unleashed was underwhelming, I expected more. The best part is the first 10 minutes or so.
