The Fifth Element is a low rent Blade Runner...

Rating: 3/10 (17 December 2014)

That's right , The Fifth Element is a low rent Blade Runner. There I said it. The Fifth Element is Blade Runner for the 15 year old crowd. It is a dopey , multi - colored mess , a sci -fi movie for people who don't like to think too much. It is an annoying exercise in mediocre special effects , dumbed down story lines , and characters that are so one - dimensional and annoying that they are almost intolerable , aka Chris Tucker. Just what the hell was his character supposed to be doing anyway? As an inter - planetary DJ , he narrates nearly half the movie , and it's basically AWFUL. Milla Jovovich is an alien who can't speak English , and tries to communicate in cute foreign - speak throughout the movie , but is just annoying as well. And Bruce Willis as the world - weary cab driver is doing his macho thing as well as he usually does it , but I found this movie exhausting , stupid , amateurish , and just plain dopey.
