You said Batman but that picture is from Batman Forever. There is a difference, sir.

I would seriously argue against The Fifth Element being bad costume design. I'd say just the contrary. It's brilliant.

My story with The Fifth Element goes that I'd seen it loads when younger, and as I got older I thought less of it. Then I suddenly realised one day that it's satire. And I realised how stupid I was. And I realised how awesome it is.

The costume design fits perfectly with that satire/parody. It's playing on the costumes that we've seen in sci-fi to this point, taking them to the extreme, and poking fun. It's great.

There is an odd trend where people confuse really bad movies with parodies. The most recent example is Observe and Report. Sometimes a bad movie is just a bad movie.

No, The Fifth Element is a satire, just like Starship Troopers is.

True, and Strong, if you are going to post a Catwoman picture to show how bad the costume design was then perhaps it should be one where Halley Berry doesn't look very hit. Just a thought.  ;)

You all see a duality where there is none. It is both a satire and not a satire. It is both awful and awesome. Namaste.
