The Fifth Element

The Fifth Element (1997)
Directed by Luc Besson

If I had seen this sometime during the nineties, I am positive that it would have been one of my favorite movies ever.

Unfortunately I didn't see it until 2012.

To say whether I liked or didn't like the film would be a grossly oversimplified explanation of how I felt while watching it. So instead of doing that, I'll make a list of the things I did like, and another of what I did not like.

Likes:

Milla Jovovich (And not just for that reason, you perverts...)

Fight sequences

Editing

Anti-likes:

Most of the dialogue

Creature design

Music

Costumes

90% of the CG

Gary Oldman

Gary Oldman's hair

Gary Oldman's accent

Apparently I disliked more about this film than I liked about it. However, it was still an entertaining film to watch.

So it's not my favorite movie ever. But is it yours? Share why (or why not) below!
