Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Reviews

---

The definitive Asian masterpiece.
"Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" is one of those films that comes along once in a lifetime. It is a true cinematic masterpiece; in every sense of the word. Ziyi Zhang, Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh are simply awesome in this film. This is the film that started it all. Many great epic films have followed like: "House of Flying Daggers", "Hero", "Musa The Warrior", "Fearless", "Warriors of Heaven and Earth" and "The Legend of Suriyothai". From the awesome martial arts, to the love story, to the scenery, it doesn't get any better than this. Even the inspiration for this film, "A Touch of Zen", although awesome itself, can not compete with this historic film. MUST BUY!!!

a simple story, but a beautiful movie
Now if you were to tell me that Ziyi Zhang was not a martial artist by trade before watching this movie, I would have never believed you. But when woo ping gets to do the action, he gets what he wants.

I was very depressed to see how simple the story was. Being a huge fan of the Ku Lung novel movies, I was expecting more going on. The only thing that I got out of the usual kung fu story was a weak character that the great Cheng Pei Pei had to play.

So the action is AWESOME but I just like more of a story than a girl who desires to be the top fighter in the martial world and some mystical sword. I highly recommend a movie like Killer Clans or Deadly Breaking Sword over this. I just like films where I have to think, and I got nothing from this. It is all just presented just like it is.

And the action I again have to comment on. Most people who don't like it because people just fly around. Well just so you know. In a movie like this, they put the actors on wires to show what happens when a true athlete is using one. American movies need to learn the importance of this as I am yet to see it used properly.
