New York cab driver Korben Dallas didn’t mean to be a hero, but he just picked up the kind of fare that only comes along every five thousand years: A perfect beauty, a perfect being, a perfect weapon. Now, together, they must save the world. Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman star in acclaimed director Luc Besson’s outrageous sci-fi adventure, an extravagantly styled tale of good against evil set in an unbelievable twenty-third century world.Ancient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily-clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero–what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie? Luc Besson’s high-octane film incorporates presidents, rock stars, and cab drivers into its peculiar plot, traversing worlds and encountering some pretty wild aliens. Bruce Willis stars as a down-and-out cabbie who must win the love of Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) to save Earth from destruction by Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) and a dark, unearthly force that makes Darth Vader look like an Ewok. –Geoff RileyAncient curses, all-powerful monsters, shape-changing assassins, scantily-clad stewardesses, laser battles, huge explosions, a perfect woman, a malcontent hero–what more can you ask of a big-budget science fiction movie?

This is by far the stupidest and most incomprehensible work Willis has ever done. I don’t mind comic books, but if you can follow this cockamamie plot and care about this goofball story, you’re smarter than I am.

Classic case of double dipping LOL.
Sony should send this as a replacement to all the owners of the first Blu-ray disk. Had it not been for the HD DVD, we’d still be watching crappy Blu-rays.

This is the worst Bruce Willis movie that I have ever seen before in my life, and yes I have seen Blind Date. I have also seen alot of movies that have made more sence then this one. There have been David Lynch movies that have had more of a story then this. Really, why was the Fifth Element sex. That doesn’t send a good message to children. I think they should have made it much more emotional of a story and it would have been better. The only thing that I found good in the movie was James Caan’s cameo as the President of the United States. When the mother was telling him off at the end of the movie that was the one part that made me laugh the most. Other then Caan’s fine preformance the movie was not well put together. I would have much perfered that the movie was a comedy like Death of a Salesman, another fine James Caan movie. In the future I hope that everyone who made this movie thinks a little more about the story instead of just going for the cheap and immoral thrill of having such a dirty practice being the “Fifth Element”.
P.S. James Cann Rules

Oh, my word! I have tried to watch this film numerous times and have lost interest within the first 20 minutes. I love films of all sorts, but this one just sucks. It seems that the director wanted to make everything completely over the top and he achieved his goal in spades, believe me. I skipped around to see if it got better and of course, it didn’t. UGH!!! What a waste of talent! If you want to see something a lot better, try the entire Star Wars collection, Titan AE (animated, but still 100x better than this)or even Event Horizon. This will be a future film for the Mystery Science Theater guys to make fun of. Then, at least, it will be funny. At this point, it is just sad.

my will to live was at its lowest ebb after sitting through this “film”… perhaps the fact that its a science fiction film directed by a Frenchman can explain this movie …hmmmmm….let me think of other great examples of French Sci Fi ……still thinking.
