Overrated, but quite good.

Rating: 7/10 (13 March 2002)

There was much to like about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from the middle desert scenes to the wonderful interactions between strong female characters from different generations.
Many afficionados of the Hong Kong fantasy genre will be somewhat disappointed, however. Some of the set pieces are exact duplicates from older films, and Yun Fat Chow is probably the most bland of all Hong Kong action stars and seems completely adrift in this role.
