Things that are Still Enjoyable
We both felt that things like the make-up and practical effects still look really good today. Kristy was also a big fan of Milla Jovovich as Leelo, while Francisco appreciated Bruce Willis doing his typical John McLain hero role.
What Doesn't Hold Up Anymore
Francisco was not a fan of the abundance of characters front-loaded at the start of the film. Also, though they didn't bother Kristy as much, some of the elements that were too ambiguous, like how the evil planet is making people's heads bleed, were annoying for Francisco.
Final Rating
If you are a fan of Sci-fi, The Fifth Element is a movie you should check out.
