The 5th Element

Recently I watched The 5th Element (1997) starring Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Milla Jovoich, Ian Holm, and Chris Tucker. It was directed by Luc Besson and produced by Patrice Ledoux. I watched this a long time ago when I was a kid and I thought I'd watch it again. I learned that somethings are better left in the past. The alien costumes were so ubserd that I had to rewatch scences because I was too distracted by their outfits. Basicallly one of the aliens was a hippo in a metal suit. The action was alright, not new about it but nothing boring. The police chase through New York seemed really short. I remebered it being really long back in the day and now that I saw it again it was pretty disappointing. However I really like Chris Tucker's character, a flamboyant radio show host. Tucker seemed to really put some of himself into that character since I can see some pretty clear similarities between this and his role in the Rush Hour triliogy. If you plan on watching this I say you come in without high expectations, and have a sense of humor.

Rob, why do you spend your time watching old movies that suck? Watch something recent that you know will be good.
