Pros: Excellent performances, brilliant direction, and beautiful cinematography make this well worth seeing at the theater. Cons: A few action scenes are a little over-edited, and the plot is a little too broad at times--still, these are very minor complaints.
Pros: Acting, scenery, some of the fight scenes, storyline Cons: Unrealistic, some cheesiness, not as good as I was expecting
Every review I've read in every publication for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has given it 4 stars. An "A+", a movie that's sure to change cinema forever. And it is a well made movie. Very high production values, an engaging plot, and good acting....
Sword-fighting between wuxia masters (and interlopers) fills a substantial amount of time in this fairly long movie. Similarly, mostly senseless violence filled a substantial amount of time in Ang Lee's preceding film, the edge of the American Civil War...
Pros: nice scenery; fight scenes will satisfy those into video games Cons: characters hard to empathize with; some trite dialog
My friend Harlan, and his wife, Ethel, are visiting from Montana, and he's kind of new to the internet, so I thought I'd let him review "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which we all watched on video last night.
Pros: The atmosphere of the film. Cons: Too cliched story line, repetitive stunts.
I never wanted to write a review of this movie. In fact I saw it because I read so many fab reviews of this movie on epinions that I thought why not. So on a Saturday night we sat in a bunch and watched it on VCD. I had raved about it so much to my...
Pros: Beautiful classic love story. Cons: Action fans might not like the fantasy.
Could this movie be any more perfect? I don't think so...directed by Ang Lee and written by Du Lu Wang. The screenplay was written by Hui-Ling Wang, James Shamus and Kuo Jung Tsai.
This is a lovely fantasy love story combining a beautiful...
Pros: Great action, beautiful scenery, nice performances Cons: Cashier asked me if I realized the film was subtitled
When I recently went to see "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," I got a firsthand glimpse of what can happen when a commercial multiplex brings a foreign language film to one of its theaters. As I bought my ticket for the film, the cashier asked me, "Do...
Pros: Gorgeous scenery, incredible martial arts and characters you care about Cons: Fantasy sequences may bother the realists
A bad thing about living in West Texas is that movies come to the area late. Crouching Tiger opened here this weekend and after seeing it, I rushed to Epinions only to note that 141 people had written about it. Well, I'm going to add my views as I...
Pros: Intense fights, lots of weapons, great character development Cons: Some find it a tough pill to swallow
This movie was not at all what I had expected. I was hoping it wouldn't be too, because I've seen my fair share of the whole "foreign fighter kicks ten guys' butts with a broomstick" genre, and the whole thing was just becoming way too silly. After...
Pros: Some of the most awesome fight scenes ever filmed Cons: Subtitles
I still find it hard to believe that Ang Lee, the same directory who made the bore-fest The Ice Storm, could turn around and make this exciting epic called Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger.
The story is about a warrior who is wanting to give up...
Pros: Beautiful movie. Visual imagery is incredible. Passable story. Cons: That's not much in the Pro column
As I look around these hallowed walls, I reflect on the importance of cases in the past. As we cast our votes here we must always remember that our rulings do not make the law. We place our vote where we believe the law already lies. It is...
Pros: I want to be Michelle Yeoh's character. Cons: I don't even want to shake hands with Zhang Ziyi's character.
My first taste of Cronenberg was Naked Lunch; he will never do better. My first taste of the Coen Brothers was Raising Arizona; they will never do better. My first taste of Ang Lee was The Wedding Banquet; he will never do better....
Pros: Zhang Ziyi is awesome, good fighting scenes etc.. Cons: Jade Fox.. ugh I hate her.
Buying this movie is probably one of the craziest things I've ever done. I've had some very bad experiences with movies from China and Japan and those countries over there. I decided to never watch a movie from Asia again after I saw "Gorgeous". (with...
Pros: Fine fight scenes, great scenery, subtitled (no cheesy dubbing here) Cons: Overhyped
It's not often that seeing a film a second time changes my perception of it dramatically. Anyone who's talked to me about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon recently knows that I felt that the buzz surrounding it was insane and that I thought this...
