If all you care about is plot or cahracter development, please stop watching films and start reading novels. Though a truly terrific film can do it all, you cannot expect 100 minutes of text to be fully developed.
You all seem to be ignoring the cinematic and visual experience of the movies.
To pan The Fifth Element or the MAtrix for lack of plot, and not to recognize the visual artistry is to forget the very medium you are evaluating.

The very number of films appearing since the Matrix, using similar action sequence techniques, should be testament to some of the nicer features of the film. Is there any greater form of industry or popular recognition of quality than imitation?

You certiainly are entitled to your opinions, but they smack of "film snobbery" to me.
