Summary: Campy and Fun, Over and over again
Review: This film is Great, and like the other reviews it has everything. I have 2 children ( 9 & 11 ) and they love it . They have seen it at least 5-6 times ( Ia'm careful about what they watch and this film is great for them,No Sex, No Lang,No real Violence ). However if you pay real close attention to the part where LeeLoo and the Priest are coming into Corbin's apt. The priest says " mr. Willis",and he is corrected by Willis "Benson" he retorts.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Want a movie you can watch over and over?
Review: This movie is one of those movies where you can watch it one week, and then the next and not get tired of it. The acting is awesome (especially by Milla Jovovich who I fell in love with after this movie) and Bruce Willis did a perfect tough guy, while Chris Tucker was funny for anyone. The special effects are great, the music is awesome (buy the CD, it's one you can have just playing in the background) and the storyline is fantastic. I pick up something new evertime I watch it. Still dont know the point of the black goo coming from peoples face. Pure evil? ANYWAY BUY THIS MOVIE! It's well worth it.

Summary: ...
Review: People who take this film seriously make me giggle. It's great, don't get me wrong, but it's ridiculously silly and over-the-top. Gary Oldman is absolutely hilarious and his usual over-acting fits right in here. Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Chris Tucker and famed British actor Ian Holm (what is HE doing here?) are all great, as well. The film drags a bit at the end, but it you're looking for a good time, look no further.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Soundtrack next to Blade Runner in Sci Fi history
Review: Great CD, the range is miraculous, all styles and genres are represented. Amazing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the most amazing visual sci-fi movies of all time!
Review: I watched the fifth element one day in my friends small home theatre system, and quickly regretted not seeing it in the theatre,but I quickly knew it was the best sci-fi movie i had ever seen, (with the exception of Star Wars, just barely). What some people think is boring or out of place in sci-fi is Luc Besson's own variation of this often too generalized theme. His incredibly thought out world of aliens, war, death destruction, and the most important thing of all, love, is stunning in its detail. This movie is incredibly entertaining and does not dissapoint those willing to open up and let their imagination take off in Luc Besson's vision of the future. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: eye-candy of the highest order
Review: While the plot of the Fifth Element is sparse and typical of genre SF movies (which is to say, light on actual SF), the visual effect created by this movie is totally spell-binding. The Fifth Element earned the unique distinction of being the only film I ever watched, then watched again immediately in a back-to-back double viewing. It was even better the second time. Irresistable. END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Visually stunning Sci-Fi epic is marred by plot holes.
Review: Fifth Element is beautiful, from the opening scene set in ancient Egypt to the stratospheric metropolis to the Diva's concert on Floston Paradise. The characters sparkle and the pacing is impeccable. Fifth Element's only flaw is the one that so much movie SF shares: wildly implausible science fiction.

From the frontier in space that you can see, to the trip to Floston that takes three hours, but there's only one ship in the world that goes there, and they put you into hibernation for the trip, to the General that greets alien dignitaries with threats and guns, Fifth Element has all the hoary cliches.

I don't mean to say that the movie isn't fun (it is), or that other SF movies don't sin the same way (they mostly do), I just wish someone would make an SF movie that wasn't an SF embarrasment.

Trivia: my wife and I watch credits for fun, and we just love Eve Savail's: "Tawdry Girl". END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the better movies of the past decade.
Review: Fifth Element contains a mix of elements that will make this picture a spectacular movie for years to come. It has a mixture of special effects, comedy, romance and action and it's DVD format allows you to view it in both normal size and the widescreen format. Moreover, it is one of those rare movies which contains so many elements that at the end of it you are left in awe with how such a movie was made possible. Meaning, how these supposedly incompatible ingredients of action, comedy, romance, and special effects were workable together into the one movie. I found Fifth Element to be one of those movies which you can watch over, and over again without getting tired of it. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful beyond words!
Review: Luc Besson manages to create a future so realistic and beautiful you wish it was the 24th century. The storyline is the classic good vs. evil fight to the finish, yet that theme is portrayed in a way that makes the most familiar concept seem new and wonderful. Bruce Willis makes a heroic Corben Dallas, the chemistry he and Milla create is almost tangible. The oddball creatures and earthly themes fit together perfectly. The comfortable contrast is best understood when looking at the scene in which a beautiful high tech. blue alien being stands in an old fashioned opera house. Luc even manages to fit an arria into the plot, the Mad Arria of Lucy, Lammemoor, and finishes it off with a stunning technical song straight from the future. This is a rare movie that is not to be missed. END
