Critics consensus

“Visually inventive and gleefully over the top, Luc Besson's The Fifth Element is a fantastic piece of pop sci-fi that never takes itself too seriously.”

Bruce Willis is a taxi driver indistinguishable from all the other shirt-less, blu-collar heroes he has ever played.

RTThe Hollywood ReporterMay 10, 2018

Narratively challenged, visually monotonous and aurally overpowering, The Fifth Element is a staggering accretion of all the wrong elements and some rather dopey ones as well.

The Fifth Element has enough eye-appeal for two good movies.

RTFilm FrenzyJul 15, 2026

This gonzo sci-fi outing proves to be a messy amalgam -- a motion picture with the body of a mainstream blockbuster but the spirit of a trendy cult flick.
