Summary: Anthony Michaels review of "The Fifth Element"
Review: Along with great masterpieces such as Forrest Gump, Frequency and others, The Fifth Element is there along with them. It's stunning visual effects along with average acting and a great script, The Fifth Element is worth your time. Trust me. Bruce Willis does a great job. Enjoy it.

ALSO STARRING BRUCE WILLIS
The Sixth Sense
The Kid
12 Monkeys

Summary: Where did he learn to negotiate like that?
Review: 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.

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.

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?

Summary: Best picture and sound of any DVD so far
Review: If you need to justify the expense of your DVD player and surround sound system to your spouse and/or friends, this DVD is it!

Spectacular sound and special effects coupled with a perfect DVD transfer make up for the childish plot and simplistic dialogue. But hey, it's great fun! END
