The fifth element - do you like it?

last night me and himself were having a talk about films and music (the usual stuff) and we got talking about the fifth element. We tend to agree on what makes a good film, but he can't stand it. So i asked a few of my friends, and the female friends love it, and my male mates don't like it! So fill in the poll! give me your reasons for why you like it or hate it! please!!
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

Cant give you any specific reasons why I didnt like it as I only saw it the once a long time ago. Too long and a mess spring to mind though.
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

I started watching it with my wife and she decided it was too silly for her. I enjoyed it. The factor that is much larger than gender is the fact that I've always liked SF&F and she would much rather see a crime drama or a love story. We both have fairly broad tastes in movies but SF&F is an area where they don't intersect. The Fifth Element was somewhat silly and I'm sure lost a lot of people there but I still found it fun.

I've always loved the film. I'm not too keen on the comedy element, but the story is interesting, it's well produced and I'm easy to please. Show me spaceships and monsters and invariably, I'm happy.:)
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

I have to say I didn't like this film. It didn't seem to have a strong storey line but just seemed to meander from one bit of silliness to another.

Just my opinion.

And a fair one Jack

I just felt after watching The Fifth Element that I saw Bruce Willis in a totally different light (I wasn't a big fan of the Die Hard movies- don't judge me!)

:)
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

Two words: Bruce Willis. Yeah, I'm a fan, although the Die Hard films never did that much for me, either.

More seriously...I suppose it was a silly movie (many of Willis's movies are), but it was fun silly and that is never a bad thing.
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

I just loved Fifth Element. Not nearly my usual taste of movies, but it was all so stupid and silly, and it was impossible to know whether it was intended or not. A great laugh!
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

Me and my husband both enjoy watching the fith element, it`s great and very entertaining :)
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

I just thought it was an attempt at comedy mixed in with with an action plot. For me it worked quite well, they obviously decided to lean more prominently to the comic side of things, instead of trying to inject comedy in the form of tired one liner bits from most action movies .eg ' I'm gettin' to old for this **** ' or ' ooooh, thats gotta hurt ' etc...

Mostly though it was enjoyable because it was easy to watch with no complicated plot twists, lots of killing and a beautiful girl - what more could you want?
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

I think i asked this question on the wrong board! this is afterall a board devoted to a love of sci-fi/fantasy :D
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

Im a real fan of this movie. When I first seen it, it felt different to anything else I'd seen before :D
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

I LOVED this film! My partner is a big fan of it also!

Imagination wit' Cheese at it's best!

Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

Nope. It seemed just a waste of money to me.
 
Re: The fifth element - do you like it?

I really enjoyed it as a very flamboyant epic with a good mix of humour and misticism.
