Masterpiece........

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2001)

This would have to be one of the best movies ever made. I wasn't a big fan of Ang Lee before this film, but I am sure now. He has made one off the best-made movies of all time. The fight scenes are the best kung fu and fighting scenes that have ever been brought to cinema, ok the quality may not be up to the standards off The Matrix, but they are breathtaking to watch, especially the roof top scenes and the fight in the forest. Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh are themselves, but Zhang Ziyi(Jen Yu) is excellent. The cinematography is as good as it gets. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the music score is also excellent. The plot is nothing new, but hey who cares, when all that beauty is on the screen. And if you're worried about the subtitles, don't worry because it's not that bad at all, and it's still easy to follow. So do yourself a favour and go and see this film, 10 out of 10.
