Summary: Very well done movie..
Review: I don't think there's another Chinese movie that weaves fanatasy, drama and romance so perfectly into one simple plot. Though not the best fantasy martial arts movie ever (Swordsmans 2 holds that honor), CTHD is still a remarkably well done movie. The acting is top notch. Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh are on top of their game. And newcomer Zhang Ziyi electrifies the screen with her intensity.

Summary: Masterpiece!
Review: I know a lot of people don't "get" this movie, but I think it's one of the most beautiful & striking films in a long time. It's sort of a tribute to a style of film-making that's a staple in Hong Kong...so maybe that's lost on some people here? I think it's a delight to watch! I prefer the Mandarin audio with subtitles, but DO watch it at least once with the English dub audio...you'll be surprised at some of the differences in the dialogue, (and I've been told by an aquaintance that speaks fluent Mandarin that the English dub is actually a more accurate translation than the subtitles...hmmmm..) I just like the sound of the Mandarin. If you don't have any appreciation for this style of fantastic, over-the-top martial arts film, don't buy this; you probably won't like it. Otherwise, buy it!!

Summary: Best movie, but only with subtitles
Review: I must say I really love this movie. It is really an great story and it is done extremely well. Out of the two version I have seen, I prefer the one with subtitles, maybe b/c it is the true film I don't know. I just can not get bast the words not coming out of the mouth in the correct fashion. Oh well.

Summary: Crouchin' Tiger, Hidden Bore....
Review: ....I didn't care for it. It seems to be an overblown story about Oriental love and war and honor with actors on strings-like acrobatics. The reason why, in my opinion, most folks dug it is that they have not previously checked out what their kids are watching as far as the Anime or any of the cartoons coming out of the far east...or any of the martial arts stories that have been made for years out of the Orient. Indeed, this is a stylish film, but it is nothing new.

Summary: Forget the hype-Just WATCH the movie
Review: Look, if you want a technical review of the plot, special effects and acting, read the opening Amazon.com review to get an idea of what the movie is all about. That review is fairly straight forward.
But....
Forget all the technical qualities, plot twists and turns,etc. and just WATCH.
The movie is ENTERTAINING. You will enjoy it! Is it worth the time? Yes. Is it worth owning in your personal collection? Yes.
My friends and I have a simple movie rating system:
1. Matinee-movies that are not worth paying more than matinee prices.
2. Full price-movies that you don't mind paying more to see.This movie is FULL PRICE.

Summary: possibly the most over-rated film of all time
Review: Chinese cinema is crammed with this exact type of film. Nothing in it
was new whatsoever. There are something like five or six "Ghost Story"
movies alone that spring to mind. Yes, this movie was well made. Yes, this movie had stars (Lee, Fat and
Yeoh). Yes, it had the all-important pretty girl (Zhang) and the
all-powerful ageing beauty (Yeoh). Yes, it had nice cinematography
(only a totally incompetent cameraman couldn't get beautiful shots in
those regions of China). No, it was not the best movie of the year and it was in no way at all
original or interesting in and of itself. It was often slow and it
contained the sloppy sensibility of foreign films that try to dovetail
slap-stick with emotional serious scenes. They fail on any
but the most naive audiences. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was
simply a very slick representative of a well-explored genre with a
pretentious title designed to exploit the race guilt of the Academy. If you're not expecting much, this is a fun, stylish romp through
Chinese cinematic symbolism. If you're expecting the best foreign film
of the year, you'll be as disappointed as I was.

Summary: Crouching Action,Hidden DVD
Review: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is a love story told through edge of your seat fight scenes and quiet humor. It is a great film and is even better on dvd. It's extras are: Photo Montage,Unleashing Dragons Featurette,Michelle Yeoh Comparison Featurette, Commentary, English and Mandarin with Subtitles. As for the best scene it is probably the climax- They must have used a dozen weapons in it!

Summary: Well...
Review: This is a movie about a young woman who feels confined by people's expectations of her, and tries to break these stereotypes as often as possible. To start off with, she steals a sword, the Green Destiny. This results in her being sought out and caught up with two daring adventurers. She also learns a lot about life and love. The movie has fantastic fight sequences and breathtaking costumes. However, I thought it was a little shallow. Well, actually, it's one of those movies that hovers in the mist between shallow/cheesy and deep/magnificent. Each person must decide for themselves. It also has about the same type of plot as other adventure movies, and is held together mainly by the presence of the stars and the good choreography. (I've noticed that most reviews that criticize this movie get a lot of "not helpful" votes, so I shall be expecting a lot of those)
