Ancient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily-clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero--what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie? Luc Besson's high-octane film iThe Fifth Element/I incorporates presidents, rock stars, and cab drivers into its peculiar plot, traversing worlds and encountering some pretty wild aliens. Bruce Willis stars as a down-and-out cabbie who must win the love of Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) to save Earth from destruction by Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) and a dark, unearthly force that makes Darth Vader look like an Ewok. --iGeoff Riley/i

 Loved, loved, loved this movie!! September 27, 2008

Apipoulai! br / br /This movie was great - one of my top five fave's! It's just goofy and far-fetched enough to be addictive, it's got GREAT actors, an interesting plot, and a fantastic soundtrack. I've probably seen the film about 100 times, and it never gets dull. And enjoy the film!
 Lacks certain elements needed for a good movie. December 8, 2007

There's not much good to say about this movie; while at times the special effects are decent and the humour genuinely funny, all and all The Fifth Element is marred by mediocre acting, poor costume and set design, and generally a lame concept and plot. The prdictable ending couldn't come soon enough and this video will likely find a permanent abode in my "never to watch again" shelf in my closet.
One of my top choices August 6, 2007

Mixed reviews on here, so rent the movie, watch it. If you love it buy it if you hate it, then dont. One shouldn't depend on people they dont know to recommend things anyway. br / br /I however absolutely love this movie. It's Sci-fi comedy and should be thought of as such. People that expect Bruce Willis to act like he does in Unbreakable or the Die Hard movies are expecting too much from this film. br / br /I thought all the characters were great, the acting perhaps wasn't perfect but I hardly noticed because this movie is so packed with great scenes. The scenery and effects were great for the year this was made and add to the feel of this sci-fi comedy. Ruby Rod is annoying and amusing, honestly I have ALWAYS found Chris Rock annoying and hardly ever amusing so for me this was a great role for him. br / br /Milla may not be the perfect woman in everyone's eyes, the point is she is a perfect being not a perfect specimen of a "hot woman" Also people say she should not be humanoid, well she was created as a weapon to save earth, so why not make her humanoid so the people of earth could relate. Plus the ending shows she needed to know love to work, more likely to get love from a human if she looked human I would think. br / br /I have to say I really liked the part when she found out what the word War meant, very touching moment that makes one think "Why would someone want to save earth after all we've done to destroy it?" and makes the ending so much more meaningful. br / br /Zorg is just ridiculous as a bad guy, always full of fail. This too amuses me, to have a rather soft bad guy is rather fun once in a while. I also LOVE the fact that our Hero Korban Dallas and our bad guy Zorg NEVER meet. That to me is a GREAT change from movies where they always seem to have the bad and good guys meet up and clash, or talk about their motives, etc. In a good movie you should be able to see their motives, not have to wait to have them explained. br / br /This is one of my favorites that I plan on buying the DVD to replace my VHS copy. I throw it on when sick, or tired or on a rainy day..I curl up in bed and just enjoy it all. So in my opinion well worth buying but as I said don't be a sheep, rent it and decide for yourself if you'll buy or not.
Where did he learn to negotiate like that? December 31, 2006

First time I watched this it was one of those three star things that you could take or leave. Yes it had all the elements (except the fifth) that make for a good shoot-um-up space thing. But I just looked at it as an action movie. br / br /For some reason this movie can grow on you and you find yourself anticipating the next move. Then you see things that you did not see the first time. Then you start to mouth the words. Soon this turns into a five star movie with a plot, good guys, bad guys, and good bad guys. Soon you start looking in your auto-wash to see if you left anything in there. br / br /An ancient thereat of dome looms over the earth. An ancient religion keeps the secret of the doom and the secret of the defense (the fifth element.) Prophecy turns into reality and it is up to Major Koeben Dallas (Bruce Willis) to find the fifth element and save the earth. Will he be able to do this and at what emotional expense? What is the fifth element? br /
