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: 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: Intriguing, intertwining story lines, fantastic fight scenes, luscious scenery. Cons: Hard to keep track of some characters; flying can seem far-fetched.
Everyone's heard the hype about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by now, including the Academy Award Nominations. Best Picture... was it really that good? I would be a bit skeptical if I hadn't actually seen the movie. I mean, come on, a...
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: Adventure, action, romance, and an underappreciated, beautiful storyline. Cons: Blah, the male characters are one-dimensional and no good.
Just so I don’t get tempted to make any Crouching x, Hidden y jokes I’m going to refer to this film by its Chinese name, Wo Hu Cang Long (unless you know mandarin, don’t try to pronounce it, you’ll only sound like a fool). The English...
Pros: photography and backdrops, action, Chen Chang, Zhang Ziyi Cons: genre stuff about competing schools, some very slow patches
There has been much anticipation in various quarters for Ang Lee’s and Chou Yunfat’s first foray into a martial arts movie.”Wu hu zang long” was a big hit at the Golden Horse Film Festival, and is now filling theaters in American multiplexes and picking...
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: 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: Interesting storyline, strong female characters, poetic fighting scenes. Cons: Too bloodless for some action fans.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was the surprise hit of 2000, without much question. The film, directed by Ang Lee, is a Chinese production (in Mandarin with subtitles), and the performers, naturally, are Chinese and are not exactly household names,...
Pros: Excellent Martial Arts sequences, Amazing Cinematography, good plot, many layers of meaning in the movie, good acting. Cons: subtitling will cause this movie to have a smaller audience than it deserves!
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is by far the best movie I have seen in 2000. This is a movie set in ancient China starring Chow Yun Fat, Michelle Yeoh, and Zhang Zi Yi in a complicated and multiple layered movie about honor, desire, duty, and...
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...
