One Of The Best Films Ever

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2002)

I couldn't stop watching it, and I can't, I see it every time it appears on TV, I even read the book. The plot is nothing less than original although it is basically good vs evil. The performances are adequate and good/great: Willis, Holm, Jovovich (yummy), Tucker (funny as hell) and specially Gary Oldman as the madman zOrg making once again an incredible villain. The FX and the sound/music are supreme. It's a shining view of the world in the future and I loved the flying cars & taxi. But I'm more used to films such as Aliens and Starship Troopers, that tend to be a little more conservative when it comes to clothing and ships, because Fifth Element is thought to be more creative and artistic, so it was a little hard to swallow. Neverthless I love this movie and anyone should have a great time with this uncommon mix of action, comedy (except the Lethal Weapon saga), and Sci Fi.

It's even worth watching only to have a look at this Ucranian heavenly creature known as Milla. 9/10 Have fun.
