OK, let's (try) not to contradict it...

Rating: 6/10 (7 September 2001)

The Best: all the most amazing fights (despite Matrix-like) but these were so good that the Matrix ones are bad when compared to these. And visually the movie results as eye candy, that was very well edited and the action musics were good, but the best was the cinematography, and Ang Lee succeded in transporting us to a China that everyone would be delighted to live in. The Worst: despite of being passed in some kind of Fairy Tale (AH!, AH!, AH!, AH!, AH!), when they were flying you could really tell they were attached to wires, even though you couldn't actually see them, even by the positions they flied. The love story background was supposed to be short but actually it occupied 70% of the film. 4/10
I think that in this film I won't even loose my time describing the plot (call me an idiot schmuck but halfway in the movie I was just thinking of the battle scenes nothing more). Kudos to Ang Lee once more by his job, and to Michele Yeoh. Chow Yun-Fat, I don't like him. Oh by the way the ending didn't like it although it was beautifully imaged, filmed and directed, corny ideas though.
Oh I forgot. The rating 4 out of 10 (AM I NOT MERCIFUL??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
