The Fifth Element - If it's on, I watch.

byssjakira1 Dec 7, 2012

Pros Interesting concept, colorful, entertaining, Bruce Willis
Cons Only if you take it seriously
Recommended it? Yes

It’s 12:44am, I’m watching The Fifth Element, and it has occurred to me that I’ve never reviewed the movie – only the soundtrack.  A veritable shame since I love the movie so much.  Time to remedy that.

The concept is fairly simple, although as you quickly... Read full review »

The Fifth Element ? I thought my VCR was broken

Cons third-rate script, too confusing, not sure whether to be scared or amused
Recommended it? Yes

When the opening credits of The Fifth Element began to roll, I thought that my VCR must be broken, or at least on its last legs, but it was just the sound effects.   It was made in 1997, and it drew upon many earlier films. 

The opening scenes show a cluster of asteroids... Read full review »

Fifth Element: Just fun.

Pros Fun, fast paced, beautiful, great score
Cons No real depth or hidden message.
Recommended it? Yes

This movie rates high on my overall list just because it is a fun movie.  It doesn’t make you think (at least not too much), it doesn’t make you too sad, it doesn’t have any redeeming humanistic qualities other than it is a fun Sci-Fi movie with a bit of fantasy added in.  It doesn’t have anything...

Pros -Super Model<br>-Bruce Willis<br>-Chris Tucker

Recommended it? Yes

Bruce Willis and Milla Jokavich together is all that i couold really want. You get the beautiful super model running around in a futurist bathing suit for the first half of the movie along side one of the best action movie stars ever. The visual effects are great for its time. It has a story line... Read full review »

The Fifth Element, directed by Luc Besson, is one of my favorite movies of all time. At first glance, it's not hard to think it may be too cheesy for its own good- but give it a chance and you may end up loving it!

It has a great combination of genres in it. I would say overall it is a... Read full review »

Cons Comical Fiction, Insanity, Tucker

Sci-fi these days never in to the far future, but like comical sci-fi, it is some centuries later in the future. It is the one interests me to watch it. It is a sci-fi sets in many years away. It begins with 3000 years before the time of the future present day, an archeologist and his student... Read full review »

The Fifth Element is Kitsch, But fun kitsch.

Pros Brilliant scenery, nonstop action, and Milla Jovovich.
Cons The alien costumes are fake, and even look it. Chris Tucker also blows.
Recommended it? Yes

There seems to be an obsession with Egypt and its mythology and other in many sci-fi flicks recently. I first saw one in Stargate, and then the Mummy and the Mummy Returns, and before the last two there was the Fifth Element. This is where a special being called Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) comes in...

French director Luc Besson (Nikita) is not one I would have readily associated with a fantasy adventure, certainly not a PG rated, family friendly fantasy from the director of movies such as Nikita and Leon, yet this is the material that he was using with spectacular results in 1997's classic The...

The Fifth Element is one of those movies that is so under appreciated. I remember when it was first in theaters and the commercials on tv about it. These commercials made me think this movie was something it wasn't. Which is to say I thought it was just another shoot 'em up, brainless action flick... Read full review »

Pros Funny,smart, action packed roller coaster of a film
Cons Some times the script really falls apart and some see the story as too weird
Recommended it? Yes

Well I know for a start that Bruce Willis can be a good actor sometimes, and Chris Tucker can be funny every now and then and could Gary Oldman's performance be as good as past performances in other movies. It was all really hit and miss when I saw the trailers for it. But when I actually saw the... Read full review »

Bruce's worst ever. Gary's worst ever. Tucker's DEFINITELY worst. The poor script, theme, ending and not to mention characters was repulsive.

Cons Ending story idea about war kind of pulled out of thin air.
Recommended it? Yes

The Fifth Element serves up a whole lot of science fiction with a little action, comedy, and suspense on the side. Luc Besson should be credited with creating a film that similar to Ridley Scott?s Blade Runner, stretches the boundaries of imagination. Not only does he create new ideas for weapons...

Before I start, let me warn you, I am an art nerd. The art direction (synchronizing colors with moods, overall flow) was amazing in the 5th element.

I can in all honesty not come up with anything I truly dislike about this movie. The vision that Luc Besson had was awesome and I can see why he pushed for 10 years to finally get funding to make this movie. What does disappoint me is the movie only ended up making 63 million at the box office (it... Read full review »

The previews for this movie asked the question, "What is the Fifth Element?" The movie answers it...sort of.
