Well, if you remember that then this film is going to mean something to you. The film is the story of 2 warriors Li Mu Bai and Shu Lien ...  Read the complete review

'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' demonstrates that Ang Lee is as much an amateur as Godard, Scorsese or Truffaut. He is able to work in a variety of genres and/or countries- yet his universal interests are not diluted whether costume drama or Taiwanese or American...and so on. Contrary to some reviews, Ang Lee has not ...  Read the complete review

Before I begin the necessary praise of this film, which I warn you will be full of such words as classic, excellent, genius, and superb, I want to put give my major concerns about this film. These concerns do not relate to the actors or acting, the storyline, even the direction. They are concerned with the one hundred percent ...  Read the complete review

I had heard so much about this film that I just had too see it, hence it was one of the very first DVD's that I purchased. CTHD is a rareity. One of the foreign films that is actually pretty good. Don't be tempted though to watch it with the English dubbing - eeeek! No, no. Watch it instead with the origional Mandarin ...  Read the complete review

The trouble with films from behind the bamboo curtain is they are either poorly dubbed or you have to watch every frame and subtitle to get the full experience. Hidden dragon is currently out on both formats offering you a choice at the same price. I didn’t know this and picked the dubbed one randomly. If you want to know ...  Read the complete review

At the twenty-minute mark, jaded critics in New York, Chicago and L.A. have reportedly laid down their pens at screenings and applauded. Not to make too much of it, but Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’s first action scene might just very well be one of those Movie Moments—you know, the kind “they’ll be talking ...  Read the complete review

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, round up all the women and teenaged girls you know who thought Charlie's Angels was awesome and take them to see the real thing, perhaps the greatest and most beautiful kung fu movie ever made. "Crouching Tiger" makes The Matrix's martial-arts choreography seem primitive. You ...  Read the complete review

Having proven himself a black belt of versatility with unsung US civil war drama ride with the devil, Ang Lee’s venture into the world of martial arts may prove the diminutive Taiwanese director has no limitations whatsoever. With kung fu so gloriously choreographed, shot and edited that it literally has you gasping for breath, an ...  Read the complete review

Prepare to be blown away! The first great movie of 2001 is here on video to buy at last. As far as magical Christmas presents go, this film is going to take some beating! Those of you lucky enough to have a DVD player may already own the film. But for old timer VHS owners like me- this is a first! Crouching Tiger, Hidden ...  Read the complete review

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one movies to see again. - Advantages: Sscenery is beautiful and panaramic. , Story is fast pace. - Disadvantages: Special effect is amaturist.

Martial arts mayhem! I was going to see this film at the cinema, but I forced into seeing the not-so-good Miss Congeniality. So a couple of months later and this comes out on video (and DVD), and I head straight down to Blockbuster. The first decision you have to make is whether you want to see this film dubbed or subtitled. ...  Read the complete review

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, What does that make you think of? For me it conjures up a picture of stealthy high class warriors invisible to the eye and intent and loyal with their lives to the mission. This is probably something like what you have thought of and it represents well Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ...  Read the complete review

It swept up Oscars, it's been critically acclaimed as a masterpiece, yet I still can't understand what all the fuss is about. Is there something wrong with me?? I saw this in the cinema with a few friends and we all agreed afterwards that we hadn't thought that much of it. A few days afterwards I saw a review for ...  Read the complete review

Having watched this film on video, the subtitled film turned out to take away valuable lookingh time at the landscapes but may have concentrated my mind more on the philosophy that runs through the epic. The film is beautifully shot around north east china and therefore allows a view of a life which is very different now than ...  Read the complete review

I am not an avid watcher of foreign films but felt as a self proclaimed 'movie man' I should see what all the fuss is about. It was to be expected that due to the massive praise it has had, the film would be a slight disappointment. Saying that I still really enjoyed this film. The film follows the fortunes of warriors Li ...  Read the complete review

Rewind about twenty-four hours and I was thinking I'd be sitting here now writing an unimpressed and critical review of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, last year's Oscar offering from the East. I'd heard all the hype surrounding CTHD in the months since its release, and had decided that it was not a film I'd enjoy. I ...  Read the complete review

Directed by Ang Lee Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon CTHD (as I will refer to it as) is, in many senses, a great film. While not exactly starring some of the most brilliant actors around (for example, Chow Yun Fat isn’t one of the best actors around, but for some reason he seems so brilliant!), CTHD is perhaps the ...  Read the complete review

Cert. 12 Columbia Tristar People run up walls. They fly through the air. Ninjas are really women. A Japanese bag lady shoots needles thorugh a drain pipe. Suspend your belief as if it was a skinned rice farmer on a stake, because this film deserves every one of its countless compliments. The story of a retiring warrior called ...  Read the complete review
