Narratively challenged, visually monotonous and aurally overpowering, The Fifth Element is a staggering accretion of all the wrong elements and some rather dopey ones as well.

The Fifth Element has enough eye-appeal for two good movies.

In this movie and many like it, the only elements that count are impact, impact, impact and impact. The fifth element is gibberish.

A hodgepodge of elements that don't comfortably coalesce.

Besson's futuristic fable is flawed by a messy narrative which strains to incorporate far too many grotesque and eccentric characters.

...a distinctive Moebius-inspired gumbo that's easy to enjoy...

Visionary filmmaker Luc Besson manages to create several of the most exotic and original characters for this magnum opus of sensory outlandishness.

Audience Reviews for The Fifth Element
-
Sep 14, 2017A very uneven movie, It had a story that's been done a few times and it never feels different, It had some ok action scenes but nothing great, I enjoyed the cast plus I have always had a crush on Milla Jovovich so it's all good, The tone was annoying as the humour even though was good it always came after a dramatic scene so it felt awkward but apart from that it's just another average 90's sci fi flick.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Sep 14, 2016Luc Besson's mesmerizing sci-fi original is visually innovative and an assortment of humor, action and exuberance. The unorthodox soundtrack and advanced vibe caps off a film that's just pure fun and amusement. 4/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Jul 18, 2015Over the top and campy as hell, The Fifth Element relies on cliché and non-substantial action to entertain, which ultimately failed to make it fresh. You've tried Besson.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Apr 17, 2015Ever since I first watched The Fifth Element in the late 90s, I've been inspired by Gary Oldman's Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg.Gimly M Super Reviewer
The Fifth Element Quotes
| Korben Dallas: | You wanna play it soft. We'll play it soft. You wanna play it hard. Let's play it hard. |
| Korben Dallas: | Finger's gunna kill me. |
| Jean-Baptiste-Emmanuel Zorg: | I don't like warriors. Too narrow-minded, no subtlety. And worse, they fight for hopeless causes. Honor? Huh! Honor's killed millions of people, it hasn't saved a single one. |
| Ruby Rhod: | What's wrong with you? What you screamin' for? Every 5 minutes there's somethin', a bomb or somethin'. I'm leavin'. bzzzz. |
