It's campy and better than Star Wars

Rating: 8/10 (21 September 1998)

While I'm a big SW fan, I have found the Fifth Element far more enjoyable to watch. I think the story moves along better and the characters are vastly more entertaining to watch. As for the special effects, I was spellbounded by the vastness of the city. I didn't think the SFX overwhelmed the movie as most would say. It's a clever story, it's about love, the most powerful force in the universe. Anyone could possess it, unlike the Force of the SW triolgies.
