DVD Verdict (Patrick Naugle)
The Fifth Element is a fun flick that should please action aficionados alike. These new Superbit titles from Columbia are worth the price if you're only interested in having the best sound and picture quality you can get (so far) from DVD. If, however,...read the complete Fifth Element, The (1997) review at DVD Verdict (Patrick Naugle)

The cast is a delight, but it's Willis who is the film's true "fifth element," giving it life, depth and humanity....read the complete Fifth Element, The (1997) review at Los Angeles Times (Kevin Thomas)

Chicago Reader (Lisa Alspector)
Even the revelation of what the fifth element is at the end is disingenuous--in fact, the archness of this whole project is repellent....read the complete Fifth Element, The (1997) review at Chicago Reader (Lisa Alspector)

Salon (Scott Rosenberg)
As you sit through the interminable two-hours-plus that constitute The Fifth Element -- a colossally stupid, overbearingly pompous new movie by Luc Besson -- you can expect to become acquainted with boredom on the most elemental level....read the complete Fifth Element, The (1997) review at Salon (Scott Rosenberg)

This movie is one of the best sci-fi movies that has been done. The story is great, combined with an awesome cast, and a great score, make for a terrific movie that should bee seen by any sci-fi movie fan or anyone looking to see a great film. ...

What can I say more about this movie but that it is full of action. Nothing more can be said, than Bruce Willis. If he is in a movie it has to be good. I would recommend this movie as an action show night. Please watch it with your good fiends. ...

I love this movie! I could watch it a hundred times and never get sick of it. It doesn't carry any profound messages, and the visual effects are nothing to brag about but the story and the action are just so fun that it's hard NOT to like it. ...

This movie has it all great action funny memorable characters and is very imaginative. My only problem with it was the preachy, cheesy ending. Other then the ending this was an excellent movie. ...
by jon on January 23, 2009 Logan, Utah
With a huge meteor about to destroy earth, crazed flying taxi chases and Bruce Willis saving the universe; Need I say more? A great mix of action, one-liners and a decent soundtrack makes this one of those movies I have to go back and watch again and ...
