The Fifth Element Ratings & Reviews
- shelbyseitenbach11 April 2026This movie falls so far from my normal wheelhouse, yet it is one of my all-time favorites. It's silly and it's clever and just very well done. Sometimes we dismiss shortcomings because something is "a product of its time." This movie is only all the more impressive despite being a product of its time.
- Robert OHara29 March 2025I give this movie 1 star for each Korben Dallas that attempted to board Fhloston Paradis.
- Eldon McGuinness13 March 2025This movie has so much happening in it; aliens, corporate greed, an underdog hero, more aliens, action scenes, ancient mysteries, and that is just the beginning. It is hard to imagine that this movie all started in the mind of a 16-year-old and grew to be such an iconic film! The characters fit together so well and seem to have great chemistry, taking their performance to a truly engrossing level. Bruce Willis is the hero once again, with Milla Jovovich playing both a damsel and a secret weapon needed to save the world. Sprinkle in a bit of comedic styling by Chris Tucker and you have a recipe for an excellent movie night.
- Causbrite6 April 2026An excellent film, great music, great costumes, fast paced, and amazing acting by Garl Oldman
- calbha31 March 2026Cult classic
- fredbeard15 February 2026This is one of my absolute favorite movies. The action, comedy, sci-fi, drama, and hell, even the opera scene. This is a perfect movie. If you haven't seen it, definitely do yourself a favor and watch!
- ApocMora30 March 2026Ridiculous and fantastic. One of my all time favorites, and glad I got to hangout with friends and watch this again recently. I totally need to read up again on the lore of all the things in the movie, plus try and track down documentaries on all the fun Easter eggs and things.
- Vladimir Djedovic11 March 2026Guardians of the Galaxy of my time. Fun, fast-paced sci-fi action movie. I'm sure that several moments from this movie will become evergreen for many generations to come.
- The Movie Hater14 April 2025I absolutely hated this movie.
- Lincoln and Blake Frank3 March 2026BRAVO Bravo still a masterpiece 30years later 👏 👏👏👏👏👏
- Zokkiie21 February 2026Some movies age. This one just vibes forever. It’s unapologetically extra—bright colors, big personalities, wild sci-fi ideas—and yet it’s got this surprisingly warm heart at the center of all the chaos. Bruce Willis plays it cool and dry like only he can, Milla Jovovich is magnetic from the second she appears, and Chris Tucker absolutely runs away with every scene he’s in. It’s bold, funny, romantic, and completely its own thing. Easily one of my favorite films—I watch it at least once a year and it never loses that spark.
- FairLeap8 February 2026The Fifth Element is as old as it is brilliant. The remastered quality looks great, and it still holds up remarkably well. Hard to believe it came out in 1997, the visuals, energy, and sheer imagination feel timeless. A classic that hasn’t lost its spark.
- tomisto731 January 2026It would be 5 star if RUBY wasn't in the movie - jk it was good :)
- adamg22421 January 2026JUST BRING ME THOSE SHTONESSSSSHH
- aphane11 October 2025Cult classic. Must see! Besson at his best.
