Pros: Good cast. Great special effects. Engaging story that keeps your interest.
Cons: None
I have seen The Fifth Element several times since the first time I rented it. I liked the movie the first time I saw it. This movie is now part of my DVD collection.
PLOT
The movie began in the past,...

Pros: Campy, silly, great visuals.
Cons: Really, really, ludicrous plot; overacting by Gary Oldman
No, I'm not talking about the musical style, nor that cartoon abomination, but the magazine. If you grew up in the eighties or late seventies, and you hung out in SF bookstores, you might just remember that magazine that was comics -- opps, I mean...

Pros: .
Cons: .
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 ...

Pros: Beautiful to look at, well directed and well cast
Cons: Fans of Luc Besson's other work may be disappointed
Opening on an archaeological dig in Egypt in the early 20th century, the resting place of the fifth element is about to be discovered when the Mondoshawans, fearing its safety on Earth, arrive to take it away. 300 years later the Earth is facing a...

Pros: costuming and special effects
Cons: everything else
Perhaps it was my being lulled into a few true quality movies from Bruce Willis such as The Sixth Sense but I was in the video store and stumbled upon another one of his movies. Call it my inability to think of what Willis starred in before...

by ParisLemon , Jul 05 '01
Pros: Looks great.
Cons: Some parts are way too "kooky" for their own good.
Not Worthy of the Fifth Star
I just bought The Fifth Element on DVD because I remember enjoying it when I saw it in the theaters. Maybe I enjoyed it more there because it is a great looking movie, even better on the big screen, lots...

Pros: Slick futuristic action flick with humour and explosions in perfect ratio.
Cons: none.
The Fifth Element (1997) Written and Directed by Luc Besson ”What's wrong with you? What you screamin' for? Every 5 minutes there's somethin', a bomb or somethin'. I'm leavin'. bzzzz.” Ruby Rhod, Galactic DJ. Our story of the ...

by yakkowarner - Top 50, May 19 '09
Pros: Fun, fast paced, beautiful, great score
Cons: No real depth or hidden message.
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 ...

Pros: Acting, Special Effect, Flying Cars, Sci-Fi Nonsense, Fun, Director, Jovovich, Priest, Setting
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 ...

by curtisv632 , Jul 17 '01
Pros: Lots of action, laughs, and amazing special effects!
Cons: Not a smash hit at the box office
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...

by lynus - Top 200, Dec 13 '01
Pros: Perfect mixture of science-fiction, action, comedy, suspense, and romance.
Cons: Ending story idea about war kind of pulled out of thin air.
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...

by dtobias - Top 1000, Oct 03 '00
Pros: Nice scenery and special effects
Cons: Silly plot; annoying DJ/MC; just about everything else
The Fifth Element has some good things and some bad things.
First, the good things:
* The scenery and effects are fantastic. I especially liked the views of the future New York City, with its tall buildings and...

by quipowerty , Mar 07 '04
Pros: Brilliant scenery, nonstop action, and Milla Jovovich.
Cons: The alien costumes are fake, and even look it. Chris Tucker also blows.
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 ...

by krial , Jun 07 '01
Pros: Beautiful sets, special effects, well done action scenes
Cons: Chris Tucker's character, the ten minute opera scene
The Fifth Element was written and directed by Luc Besson, who is responsible for such works of art as The Professional and La Femme Nikita. I, as usual, had really high expectations for this movie. The odd thing is, that The Fifth...

by artbyjude - Top 500, Jul 03 '00
Pros: Photography, Jovovich, the Masked Ducks
Cons: annoying noises including opera, Big Bad Bruce, plays better on small screen, one too many " future is a bummer" movies
What WAS I THINKING? I had this movie on my love list for almost a week. I had an attack of rational thought (Fortunately, it was merely flatus of the brain and it passed) and decided I 'd watch it again, love it totally, and write a scintillatingly...
