Good, Maybe Great but not a 10!

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2001)

Looks like I am in the minority, but this movie did not move me the way it did others. First, I would have like to have waited for the "voice over" version. This movie was very visual, but when you have to read subtitles you miss out on much of the visual effect. Second, the story line is not that original. It's an adolescent with massive potential but no direction who ultimately finds herself after causing a horrible tragedy. She just happens to know Kung Fu instead of basketball, football or some other theme that we've seen a million times.
Yeah, the special effects were awesome. The acting was solid, and the script was good. But this movie is not one of the best of all times as people are saying. And, I suggest to wait for the voice-over version so that you can take in all of its visual wonder.
