The Fifth Element (1997): In the colorful future, a cab driver unwittingly becomes the central figure in the search for a legendary cosmic weapon to keep Evil and Mr Zorg at bay. (7.5)
Director: Luc Besson
Stars: Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich and Gary Oldman
Um, this is sort of like Die Hard, Star Wars, Matrix, Space Balls, 007, etc. all rolled into one. It isn't quite Sci-Fi, not quite comedy, not much drama. I'm not sure what it is. However, it does have some good moments. In the core of the story, there's nothing there. At the end, what is the absolute evil and what is the secret weapon ... nobody knows, including the writers, I guess. Just for Milla Jovovich (with that bright orange "red" hair), I'd give this one high marks, but they could have picked one theme (ie: stick with the sci-fi angle) and made it a serious movie. My Rating: 6.0
