  If you don't like this movie, then I'm pretty sure you're dead inside. At the very least, you don't know what happiness is.

  I'm going to name my first son Corbin Dallas Bradley. I mean that.

  Big badda boom.

  let’s just get this out of the way: i went through this entire movie thinking zorg was billy zane...?!?!?! i was like WHOA crazy how he’s doing the same rich villain character from titanic, also released in 1997, except in SPACE. why don’t we talk about this more often? 

  then the credits rolled and it said ZORG — GARY OLDMAN and i answered my own question :/ legitimately a more oscar-worthy transformation than the darkest hour

  Review by DirkH ★★ 43

  This could have been an instant cult classic, drenched in an exuberant campness reminiscent of films like Ice Pirates and blending fantasy with science fiction in a way not out of place in eighties classics like Krull.

  It fleshes out a vivid universe and manages to muster up an engaging plot.

  And just look at that cast:
  Willis
  Oldman
  Holm
  The immaculate Brion James.
  And even whatshername is ok.

  
  And Chris Tucker.

  Chris fucking Tucker.

  He singlehandedly destroys this entire film with a voice that would make the toughest among you cry for mercy.

  He's like getting a hangover while you're drinking.

  Luc Besson's The Fifth Element was weird, inventive, stylish and so much fun, in which every actor seems to be having a blast. It's more than 20 years old and it manages to not age at all.

  Review by reibureibu ★★★ 8

  The Fifth Element is ostensibly one of the goofiest apocalyptic films about the impending doom of environmental failure, the planet's future out of whack when humans lose track of the "four elements" needed to save it. Earth, water, air, fire, all that jazz we're so familiar with considering we're a generation grown up on Nintendo JRPGs, and by losing track of these elements in the 20th-century humanity has fucked its future self for total annihilation. Thanks, boomers.

  Anyways, turns out there is hope out there, but the problem is that some evil bastard who's the manifestation of corporate greed doesn't give a shit because he can just live out in space. Here is where I slyly plug in the notion…

  its rare to find a film with such a strong and unwavering vision throughout but fifth element, this goofy space movie, has it. just the most perfect.

  Review by Wesley Stenzel ★★★ 2

  I get why people love this, and I also understand why some might hate it. I have no strong feelings either way. I suspect that it was a lot more exciting when it first came out, because now, it resembles half of all modern sci-fi that it assumedly inspired, from Futurama to Guardians of the Galaxy to Doctor Who.

  The world-building rules, and it has an insane energy that few films achieve. I adore the ridiculous performances from Ian Holm, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman. But neither the conflict nor the characters are remotely compelling, let alone well-rounded. Narratively and thematically, it’s as basic as you could get. And it lacks both standout action and memorable humor — it settles for mediocrity in both departments.

  This movie is like a Honda Civic with a bright neon paint job — it looks zany and unique from the outside, but once you get in, it’s the same as everything else.
