I have no idea why this movie has 80+ rating!! Plus, the genres are all wrong, this NOT a thriller.

A true cult classic. This movie is over the top from start to finish, and it knows it. A lot of movies that try to do this, the level to which they are over the top ebbs and flows. It jumps all over the place. This movie keeps it persistent, consistent, and that's what really keeps it flowing and makes me love it so much. Just the right amount and not too much. The right amount of comedy to take what really is a pretty crap story, and just make it truly enjoyable to watch. They went above and beyond making all the scenes as artistic as they could. The cinematography really draws you in and can be enjoyed even if the movie isn't for you. I can watch this time and time again, and not grow bored.

A simple enough concept: Guy must save a World (in the Future!) from Evil! by protecting a Magical Macguffin, only in this case it’s a Girl! instead of a Thing.

There’s really not a lot of story here. Not a lot of character either. Why waste valuable screen time with such paltry concerns when More

Ever since I first watched The Fifth Element in the late 90s, I've been inspired by Gary Oldman's Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg.

_Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time._

Negative, I am a meat Popsicle.

It's 2259 and the Earth is in mortal danger from pure evil. The only hope Earth has is something called the fifth element, which comes in the form of the newly cloned Leeloo. Along with an ex forces cab driver and a priest called Cornellius, Leeloo must piece it More
