Summary: GREAT!
Review: This is propably on of the best films IÂ've ever seen. Great action, romance and suspence. Michelle Yeoh is beatiful and a great actor. Chow-Yun Fatt could have been better but he also makes a nice performance.

Summary: Superb!
Review: I can't say anything more about how wonderful this movie is. The DVD is spectacular as well, though the dubbed version of the movie isn't as good. Top notch work!

Summary: Overrated but still good
Review: This is the 1st major Asian movie(non-comedy which leaves out Jackie Chan's films) to hit the theaters since Bruce Lee, so the hype is expected. It is a good introduction to Asian cinema. I've heard too many times that the flying was stupid and the laughter from the audience during those parts ruined it for me in the movie theater. The flying is a trademark of Asian ancient martial arts films. As common as exploding cars in American films. It is not a fault of the movie but a part of the culture of filmography in Asia.

Summary: Ill be honest , do people really fly around on wires?
Review: I dont know, this was on the most part really stupid, I did like the scenery but people were flying through it on wires, I could have enjoyed it just as much as I do the scenery in the ending shots of "Sunday Morning". But then when I was a kid I thought Peter Pan could have been better also, but at least that looked more real. Doug

Summary: Jackie Chan MeetsThe Matrix
Review: It is easy to see why his movie didn't win the Oscar for best picture--it simply isn't that good. Certainly not as good as Chocolat, Gladiator or The Patriot. It won all that it got for being Chinese or Taiwanese. It is a nice love story, with lots of action, but...

Summary: ...notcho ordinary karate chop...
Review: ...man, this is an excellent romance story! there is a good balance of honor, love, respect and restraint between the two lead characters...the chemistry is good.
and as a bonus:
they kick bad-guy butt!
in addition to the central romance, we also get sub-romance and detective story-lines...and this is an action movie! (although there are only 3 or so real fight scenes - it satisfies sufficiently).
jackie chan and jet li still remain for those of yall needing to suspend your disbeliefs with less thought or emotional input.

Summary: Setting the Standard
Review: Just like thousands upon thousands of people have said this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie has set the standard for martial arts fantasy and fighting movies in general. Crouching Tiger introduces us to a great cast of characters with only one of them being an international star to start with. The plot is fairly complex and the movie altogether presents a huge setting than spans from forests to deserts and mountains. The only thing that I have already witnessed and continually worry about is fight scenes in movies being performed with wires. It was amazing and inovative to see it in Crouching Tiger but now it seems that every movie that contains fight scenes has to make use of wire contraptions to aid them. Will there come a time when no movies will be without the use of wire aperature fighting.....? I guess I can always count on Jackie Chan for his pure style of fighting and stunts.I was disapointed when watching this that people in the audience laughed when the characters flew. They were all shouting and laughing saying it was really fake. But who laughed when Superman flew???? I bet you nobody. They were in awe as they should have been while watching Crouching Tiger. This is not reality, it is a fantasy world in which anything is possible.

Summary: Overrated
Review: That's all there is to it. This movie wasn't as good as everyone had hyped it to be. If you like the whole "Chinese art" then just go out and rent the Ninja Scrolls. Granted, it's Japanese Anime, but the plots are the same, and the special effects are better in the cartoon than in the live-action. I can't say anything nice about this movie. Overrated.

Summary: Great Great Great
Review: I really enjoyed this movie! The fighting and also the cultural perspective! this is a great movie if you into the martial arts or even interested in chinese culture! I recommend it to anyone who fit those criteria! It was a little hard for me to like the movie when I first saw it, but after the second time watching it through I was able to understand more of the storyline and I have enjoyed it ever since then!
