Ett fyrverkeri av färger, figurer, äventyr, action, komik och specialeffekter som håller minst lika bra idag!
Tää on kyllä ihan mahtava kun katsoo pitkästä aikaa! Christ Tucker ei ole varmaan koskaan tehny näin hauskaa roolia, ihan hillitön :D :D :D
The plot is a mess, and Chris Tucker is incredibly annoying, but The Fifth Element delivers stunning visuals that have aged well, and a gorgeous production design, as well as benefitting from the fun turns by Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman.
Really solid, funny, interesting, all put together in one nice little sci-fi package with a side of Chris Tucker and half-naked Milla Jovovich.
a sci-fi classic in my opinion. Bruce Willis is always so good in those little known scifi flicks that are always good, like 12 Monkeys
An excellent Besson in sci-fi. this film mixes many ideas from other cult sci-fi films and has an awesome cast as well as a balanced script.
Critic Reviews
The Fifth Element has to be the most creative visualization since Tim Burton's first Batman in 1989. On top of that, it's a whole lot of fun.full review
One of the great goofy movies -- a film so preposterous I wasn't surprised to discover it was written by a teenage boy.full review
