Summary: Best movie ever?, No, but still pretty good
Review: I've seen some of those Hong Kong/Taiwan action movies (bits of them anyway) and generally have not been impressed. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was made in homage to them and does so with class. I thought that it was much better than most of those films and might even be better than most of the so called realistic movies done in this country. I found very little to complain about. The wire act bits were usually very well done, a few scenes did have a little too much bounce in the movements, I thought they were amazing. The plot mostly made sense to me although Zhang Ziyi's flashback segment seemed oddly placed (maybe I was tired when I saw it)but good otherwise. The end scene where Jen (Zhang Ziyi) jumps from the bridge was the low point in the movie for me, was that supposed to be a suicide or what?

Summary: A Great Film
Review: Yes, the martial arts are amazing and wonderfully filmed, but don't be fooled into thinking this is "just" a martial arts movie. This is one of those films that cuts across genres: it's martial arts and romance and desert bandits and magic and legends -- all beautifully photographed with one of the most haunting scores ever written (cello solos courtesy of Yo-yo Ma). DVD really does justice to the wonder and beauty of this film. I particularly recommend the special feature on the making of the movie, because it both tells you a lot that is not obvious from the finished result and increases your appreciation of the film.

Summary: Personally, The Best Movie Of 2000
Review: 2000 was not the great year in movies. Almost all the films I saw that year were either so-so or really bad. But I thank God for Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the best movie of the year 2000, in my opinion.The story of two legendary warriors (Chow-Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh)who fight to recover a legendary sword is beautifully told by director Lee. The fight scenes are well choreographed by the same choreographer who did the chops in "The Matrix". Many people would consider them exaggerated, especially the fact that the warriors fly over roofs and trees, but Peter Pau's cinematography and Tan Dun's enchanting music make those scenes so subtle, so delicate. This is an excellent DVD, and viewers may find it a good addition to their collection. At least in mine, it's a great item. The extras are very good. Go see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Crouching Stinkbomb Hidden Movie
Review: Joel Siegel called this move "One of the Greatest Films Ever Made". This may be the most foolish statement ever made !! Crouching Tiger was plain silly. I'm not sure what all the hoopla was about, and I guess in today's society, it's normal for a film to get some cult support and soon after, a huge bandwagon follows (i.e. Blair Witch, which was also horrible). I have purchased many dvd's over the past year, and this is the first one I have truly regretted buying. A silly movie, in which people can just fly at will. I say fly away, PLEASE !!

Summary: Overrated Garbage
Review: I can NOT believe how overrated this film is! "Best film ever made"? Hardly. Some [people] even compared it with "Gladiator" as the best film of 2000. That is totally ridiculous. "Gladiator" was a summer blockbuster but it also was a movie with compelling sympathetic charcaters and incredible action. Crowe's Maximus is a lovable characte who captures people's hearts. The same thing can not be said about anyone in "Crouching Tiger". This film is filled with irritating awful characters who I didn't care at all about. The young girl in the film is downright annoying. Also, the special effects of this movie are so overrated it isn't even funny. We have all seen the same type of effects in Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies. Why is this one so special??? In short Crouching Tiger is just a long terrible movie with Chinese people flying around ...

Summary: Dreamlike and Fantastic
Review: Crouching Tiger was perhaps the finest film of the year 2000, and some have not seen it because it includes subtitles. Watching this film for me is like dreaming, the lyrical choreography and beautiful vistas only serve to compliment an extraordinary story about love and honor. The DVD edition of Crouching Tiger is anamorphically enhanced and contains some nice features, including commentary with Ang Lee, and two making of features.

Summary: Easily One of the Best Major Releases of 2000!
Review: With the possible exception of Memento, this movie was a hundred times better than anything that came out in the year 2000. Some of the best on-screen combat I've ever seen with hot, fiesty, sword fightin' chicks and Chow Yun-Fat at his absolute best. The only way you can be underwhelmed by this movie is if you do nothing but watch the greatest fighting movies available or actually live in Hong Kong and get to see them released. I thought Ang Lee's film "the Ice Storm" had great potential and beautiful cinematography, so when I heard...that this visual genius got hold of Chow Yun-Fat back in 99, the drooling commenced. When I saw it opening night with my friend Jessica, I refexively blurted out "Why do American movies suck so bad??" as I watched that crazy Hong Kong Brit Lee destroy my vision with some of the greatest story telling Chicago's McClurg Court theater had ever seen.
