Movie Review: The Fifth Element
I watched the movie The Fifth Element, a sci-fi action adventure/comedy with Bruce Willis. The best thing about the movie were the special effects which were awesome. They showed battlecrusiers, spaceships destroying each other, hover cars, hover cruise ships and other things in the future and they all looked really good. The acting was good but not the best. The best actor in the film was definitely Bruce Willis. Bruce was really good in the comedy scenes and the action scenes but he was not very good in the dramatic scenes, especially the climax in the temple. Zorg, the bad guy was played by Gary Oldman and I thought that he was OK. Leeloo was played by Milla Jovovich and she was good in the beginning when she knew nothing about where she was but her acting got worse toward the end. Lastly Ruby Rhod was played by Chris Tucker and he was the comedy relief. He was funny in the beginning but got annoying in the end. The action scenes in this movie were great with lots of shooting, explosions, and chases. The comedy scenes were very funny and Bruce Willis did a great job. There were two things about this movie that I did not like. I thought that the plot was a little dark for a comedy with an evil force about to destroy the universe. I also thought that the dramatic scenes in this movie were out of place, especially the "I love you" scene in the climax. Overall I would say that this movie is not the greatest but it is definitely enjoyable and I was entertained.
