I still don't know what to make of this. It's decent popcorn sci-fi, and it certainly defies convention, but there are some conventions that need to be kept to. I thought the Diva scene was really tasteful and pretty and kind of made me appreciate opera little. Then the techno music kicked in and ruined the whole thing. Super loving gay. I don't care if it was supposed to be tongue in cheek and funny, it was loving stupid. Chris Tucker is not funny, nor has he ever been funny, and he single-handedly made me want to hate this movie despite some of its strengths. High-pitched-voice-squeaky-annoying-pussy-human being characters like his are not comedy relief. They are infuriating irritation in its purest form. Milla Jovovich does some good acting, and is hot. Her fight scenes are over the top stupid, but the scenes where she actually has to act are really good. Bruce Willis can do no wrong in my eyes. "Anyone else wanna negotiate?" is the best line in the movie and I really, really love that scene. Gary Oldman is another guy that can do no wrong. The BFG 9000 demo scene is my 2nd favorite scene in the movie, and his character really needed a lot more screen time. Oh yeah, and hiring the ugliest, worst actor in the universe to play the loving PRESIDENT? Give me a loving break. And we never found out what the big evil asteroid thing in space WAS that made Gary Oldman's head bleed crude oil. WTF was that all about? I don't see how so many people went so ga-ga over this. I guess I just took it more seriously than I should have. Since I can't make up my mind whether I truly hated it more than I liked it, I'll give it a 2.5/5.
