The 5th Element is a firework of images, and I really enjoyed it very much. Sure, at the end it's "Bruce-Willis-saves-the-world", but in the meantime, the acting especially of Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich is great and sometimes breathtaking. You can see the french influence by Luc Besson and Jean-Paul Gaultier in every single second of this great film. It's SciFi for those who don't like SciFi and it's also great for SciFi-Fans. A great film, so I gave it a 9.
