Sit back and enjoy (spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2000)

Very stylish and visually appealing, with a silly, tongue-in-cheek humor, and some good old-fashion over-the-top action. Why bother getting worked up over the details? The earth is doomed by some big giant evil? What evil? Who cares, its big and bad. The main hero just happens to be a super-duper gunfighter with so many medals and honors the list spills onto the floor? Sure, why not? The fifth element turns out to be a french super-model who spends most of the movie taking off her scant costume? I'm all for it! The hero's sidekick is the most prissy, effeminate fop ever put onto film? You bet! Gary Oldman's bizarre southern accent, a 7 1/2 foot tall President of the World, a remote-controlled cockroach, the list goes on. If you don't like the action, like the visuals. Don't like the visuals? Listen to the music. Don't like music? Like the humor. Don't like the humor? Ogle Milla. Don't like Milla? Ogle Bruce. There's something for everyone I tell ya.
