The Fifth Element

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2014)

Take "The Fifth Element" on face value. This is a "space opera," nothing more and nothing less. The director does not explain the science, and that is fine. I do not watch space operas for the science. I watch them for action, visual effects, a decent plot, etc.., which I believe The Fifth Element have.
Some points:
1) The cast and characters are part of the awesome in this movie.
a) Bruce Willis - A burnt out taxi guy and military guy with a string of bad luck.
b) Ian Holm - THe religious mentor and keeper of the long awaiting prophecy.
c) Milla Jovovich - A newly born human savior.
D) Brion James - He is a character actor and a great goofy General trying his best.
E) Zeus aka Tommy 'Tiny' Lister - President of the World (coolness).
F) Gary Oldman - Zorg, great name for a villain. I still add him to this even though he hated the movie.
G) Chris Tucker was Chris Tucker. He acted the best, and only way he knows although the up shot is that his style was sync with the overall speed of the story and led to the uncomfortable "making love" scene (but funny), which one day I might get a question about from my child.
2) I loved this movie the colors are vibrant and pleasant to the viewers eyes which went well with the "space opera."
3) The operatic battle scene between Leeloo vs.Mangaloren and the blue alien singing.
4) Parts that were awesome: Flying Cars, Blue Blood, A big ball of evil, the demise of Luke Perry, Chinese Food delivered & made in front of you,Motherly Guilt, the name Zorg, Tricky, etc....
5) I added the spoiler thing because I did not know if Luke Perry's demise was key part to the development of the plot.
