Summary: Instant favorite
Review: I'll probably be repeating the praise already lavished on this film, but since it absolutely blew me away, I feel compelled to write a review.This movie was like nothing I have seen before. I knew the fight scenes were going to be worth the price of admission alone, but the movie had much, much more to offer. This movie is layered with many things happening at once. We see a passionate romance interlocking with a tragic one. These all play out amidst a double-sided revenge plot. Throw in breathtaking cinematography (which garnered a well deserved Oscar), a perfect soundtrack (another deserved Oscar), acting that really conveys the complex emotions of the characters, beautiful set designs and locations, AND THEN the greatest action scenes I have ever seen, and you have a superb film. Other aspects of the film have made it rise to the level of great films in my mind. The film does not cater to the formula of box office success. It actually takes time to set up the first fight. The characters don't speak English with a Chinese accent. There is minimal blood or gore, few deaths, no nudity, and no obscenities. Ang Lee strives for the old-fashioned method of storytelling, devoid of the easy gimmicks mentioned above, and lets the story and sincerity of the characters move us (plus killer action). This movie is also very unique in terms of its genre busting aspects. It blends kung-fu and drama like no film I have ever seen. The women are just as strong as the men in the film, and the kung-fu is shot with an attention to detail that is usually absent from such films. Things like this have been waiting to be done for a long time, and Ang Lee has done them right. I gained a huge amount of respect for Ang Lee because of this. I think it is quite a challenge to make a film without the typical R-rated material in films today, and still present a beautifully told, mature movie. He took on the challenge head on and succeeded through his perfectionism. And a word should be said about the fight scenes. Amazing. If you haven't seen this film, or have only seen it once, I suggest multiple viewings. It is very hard to catch everything that is going on in the film, and once you understand what they are saying, you can begin to really savor the film making craft of Ang Lee and company.

Summary: crouching tiger, hidden drangon lives up to the hype
Review: Excellent movie. Breathtaking scenery , excellent acting and graceful ballet-like fight scenes. It takes "MATRIX"-like special effects to a whole other level. My only complaint is that the sound on the DVD's 5.1 english version is a bit poor with very noticeable volume variations right in the middle of some conversations between the characters.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: This movie was one of the best movies I have ever seen in my entire life!!!! The mixed: Action, martial arts, romance, comedy, and fantasy all into one! I've never seen that done before. Let me just say this, if you're looking for a birthday present or any kind of present give this movie. It rocks!

Summary: Could be better than the theater experience.
Review: When I saw the film in the theater I was disappointed by how dark the night scenes were. I suspected it was not the fault of the filmmakers but of the projectionist running the lamp on a lower setting (a fairly common practice from what I understand). My suspicions were proved correct when I viewed this DVD. The cinematography in the nighttime battles is actually excellent, with all the action and martial arts choreography distinguishable and easy to follow. An added benefit of seeing the movie on the small screen is that one can see the overall scene and therefore have a better idea of the flow of battle. I found the audio levels a tad lower compared to other discs in my collection, but increasing the receiver volume didn't seem to be a problem. The extras on the disc are somewhat standard fare these days, though certainly appreciated. Overall a solid DVD release.

Summary: Sorry Arnold
Review: What makes this movie so good ? I think it's basically a good integration of elements. It has splendid Art Direction, amazing scenery, great acting and of course a fantastic story which is very well told and directed. It's a story of love but is also a journey into a place where the eternal fight between good and evil takes unexpected twists and kidnaps your attention from begining to end, plus it's surrounded by incredible scenery of mountains, bamboo forests, waterfalls, mandarin castles and villages which makes it delightful for the eye. The fighting scenes ( which i think are not the main merit of this movie ) are very well done. I know there will be people who think they are stupid and far removed from reality, but if we criticise this movie with that perspective, we can end up saying every epic and mythological story is worthless just because they talk about fantasy and unintelligible situations.... My recommendation is to see this movie,if you dont like it, dont worry, perhaps you'll get a chance to exchange it for The mummy returns or the last Arnold movie.

Summary: Like a Beautiful Dream
Review: Everything about this movie is perfect. I almost cried watching the opening Ninja fight as they glide about the walls and rooftops as it reminded me of surreal dreams I had of flying as a child. Aside from a couple scenes where they run across water, the movie's effects are so expertly done, it's hard to explain how they faked it. Simply one of the better movies I've ever seen, period.

Summary: Worth seeing once...
Review: I thought it was okay the first time around, but even at that, people were making fun of the movie in the theater. The disturbing thing is, I could see how they could make fun of it! The walking on water scene emitted cries of "Yo, it be Jesus!" along with a lot of other stupid remarks, because no one was taking the movie vaguely seriously. The subtitles emitted groans from people in the theater the second time around. The flying thing got old after about 15 minutes. My bf was hardly impressed also, and got bored within about 30 minutes and spent the rest of the time making fun of the film. . Also, the story line was soooo predictable, and how could no one see the resemblance between Jade Fox and the governess? I have to admit though, the fight scenes were excellent and not typical martial - arts moves.
