I love this movie

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 1999)

The Fifth Element is one of my favorite movies. At least some of the reason I like it so much was I first saw it right after I'd had some bad times in my life, and it was a real break to watch something that was just plain FUN.
Most people who don't like this movie probably either expected an action film or sci-fi adventure. It's neither and both at the same time. Just sit back and enjoy it, don't bother trying to rationalize. A wonderful, exotic soundtrack, humor and comedy in spades, and a future New York that has COLOR. Most people are so used to the dark and grim future bit that seeing a world brightly lit and animated is a sight for sore eyes. You have to admit it takes a certain chutzpah to decorate the President's office in lavender!
