Why It Matters: Fifth Element spent years as the highest-grossing French film, and adjusted for inflation, it remains a top grosser to this day. It even made a strong impact in the US. What I Think: I think this might honestly be the most lightweight movie on the entire list, and while it definitely is a Disney-for-teens style movie, I can't fault it for finding a style and really adhering to it. The boisterous, loud, over-the-top world that Besson has created definitely stands out among other science fiction worlds, but at times it simply becomes loud for loudness' sake. And I really think your mileage may vary when it comes to the function of the Big Bad. I think there's something to be said for this film just being sort of childish, which can be a good thing but honestly... never a great thing. Nevertheless, Bruce Willis seems to be well-settled into his John McClane typecasting here, and Oldman and Jovovich do an admirable job. Oh, and what is the connection between The Fifth Element and The Dark Knight? Both films feature WWE main eventer Zeus!" ~scarlet "Apparently, this idea was conceived from when the director was a teenager and it shows. The world is creative and colorful, the characters are fun and theres some decent action. Nothing too deep but definitely fun." ~JONA "Bruce Willis plays a space version of John McClane in a film that never takes itself too seriously, but in the way that also never stops being fun. Some of the more outlandish elements such as Chris Tuckers Ruby Rhod can come close to grating but still feel appropriate for the films tone. Milla Jovovich really steals the show as Leeloo though." ~Snake "A movie that built a concept and uh well might as well say it fucked it by the end. Plenty of the movie was literally just the writers talking with their dicks. It honestly did feel like watching a porn parody without the actual porn, just the occasional boob shot as the girl strips in some scenes. Still had some okay-ish scenes I guess." ~Wickle --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:913066288] in Gauntlet C...
