^^^^^ This, so much this.

I cannot ever re-watch this goddamn movie for that performance. I hated it back then, and hate it even more now knowing it came true.


.. also F-U to Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, perhaps Luc Besson just exists to piss me off. What a shitty movie with horrible casting and overall stupidity.


Edit: .. and yet, here I am. Sigh.

You’re crazy. Chris Tucker is hilarious.

What an absolute bullshit take on 5th Element.

I've never seen Valerian so can't comment but you're just completely wrong to not watch this for Chris Tucker, who is brilliant.

Valerian had a lot of interesting stuff going on visually but they did the classic thing of trying to cram the extensive story of the book (from what I saw about it, i haven't read it) into a movie run time, so it ended up being a bit of a shallow jumbled mess.

And also the actors were made out of wood

Yeah, I enjoyed that movie as a visual spectacle. But the acting and story were rough.

in valerian the romantic leads look and act like siblings

Luc Besson’ take on Valerian et Laureline was a crime against humanity.
