A big disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2000)

Luc Besson had made some great films Leon being one the best film made. However what has happened to his directing skills on the 5th element. The story is based in the future where only the 5th element can save the world from Evil forces destroying life. This has happens every five thousand years. The film its self has some great special effects and the story line gets you're interested. However the sad thing is Luc Besson insists on making the 5th element an action comedy which just does not work. Chris Tucker who plays the DJ just spoils the film for me and the whole result is a waste of time. If only Luc Besson based the project on a seriously format it could have been a classic but chose to do the old style of trying to make this film more of a action comedy which just does not work.
