We've all seen movies where we were like, "Yup, that scene was a space filler right there." The entire scene with The Merovingian where he's telling about a program he put in a piece of cake, then we finally see it was designed to give that woman a really patheic orgasm (I'm assuming that's what that was, since the women I've been with reacted much differently when I gave them orgasms) was nothing but a time waster. The dude could have dropped his horrible accent and just said, "Fuck you, you can't have the Keymaker." Instead, they had him ramble on for 5 minutes or longer, all the while showing glimpses of his wife's cleavage (to keep the mens' dwindling attention in the audience) to make the same point.
The whole movie was just under 2 hours long, but if you tossed out all the scenes that added nothing to the movie, including the one I just mentioned, as well as the fuck/rave scene and many others, the movie would have only been about an hour long. Cut the lame fight scenes down to half their time and the movie goes to 45 minutes.
Speaking of the fight scenes, after the movie, my girlie looks at me and says, "You notice how like before a fight starts, you actually see it coming on about 2 minutes before it even happens?" I responded something like, "Yeah, and each fight scene looks exactly like the one that came before it!" 
As far as the 'plot' of this movie being so transparent and artificial, if you're looking for anything with more of a plot, simply go rent any movie out there with Jim Carrey in it--that's just how bad it was....

erm, you do realise that this is the second part of the series, right? if we cut the "boring filler" scenes and the merovingian plays a large role in revolutions, everyones gonna go "WTF! GHEY, STUPID PLOT DOESNT EXPLAIN WHAT THE MEROVINGIAN IS". (btw, that was a strong aphrodisiac, i think, not an orgasm inciter).
You keep alluding to the simplicity of the plot, yet you never demonstrate anything more than a rudimentary understanding of it. Curious. It doesnt matter anyway, to each thier own.
