The Fifth Element Ratings & Reviews
- Eldon McGuinnessMarch 13, 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.
- shelbyseitenbachApril 11, 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.
- ApocMoraMarch 30, 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.
- ZokkiieFebruary 21, 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.
