Fifth Element wasn't bad just cheesy as hell. Tacky costumes, goofy characters, but that doesn't necessarily mean "bad."

Even the costume and character choices weren't bad, as in accident. This was all made on purpose. Costume design is from Jean Paul-Gautier - one of the top fashion designer. You can be sure he didn't design the costumes tacky on accident, Luc Besson asked for tacky costumes as a choice for some of the characters.

Yeah, I guess this is somewhat of a cultural thing and why it fared much better internationally (~ $200M) than in US (~ $63M).

I love pretty much everything about that film, over the top popcorn flick that it is.
