It's a mystery how The Mummy has made it to the third round.

Its just a very fun blockbuster bolstered by set pieces in exotic locations. I can think of much less deserving movies in the knockout rounds.

I can't express how bored I was with The Fifth Element. There was one good thing about it, though - that flying Chinese food joint (visualization of my dream of what I want to be in a future life: flying between the houses, cooking and selling food), but it is not enough to justify the whole film

Wow. Fifth Element is a personal favorite of mine and I nominated it. I know it is not a great movie but I thought it was at least fun throughout. I can't imagine it being labeled boring.

Yeah, there's a lot of things a person can call The Fifth Element, but I didn't think boring was one.
