The Fifth Element (Critique)

50 Word Critique challenge

This sci-fi classic was probably one of the most formative to me in my youth. The style of The Fifth Element strongly resembles French bandes dessinées, which only adds to its charm. Colorful characters, fantastic acting, and a whacky 90's plot make this one of the best sci-fi movies to-date.

    I'm sure I've seen this movie at least 5 times and it never gets old to me. I'm laughing as I type from remembering the zany character Chris Tucker played. Excellent critique!

    I love this movie so much. I even dyed my whole head orange a few years ago just to be Leeloo for Halloween!

    Brilliant critique, underrated bonkers film. Loved Luc Besson in the 90s, and loved this. Definitely one of Bruce Willis' better films and I think this is the film that properly introduced Milla Jovovich to the world. Well done, Ian!
