The most overrated movie of the year.

Rating: 1/10 (7 April 2001)

Don't believe the hype. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon combines a cool fighting concept with way too much romantic baggage and formulaic plotlines. I would have enjoyed the film if not for its incredible predictability and terrible writing. The fighting was cool when it wasn't at night. I say this because during most of the Fighting/Special Effects scenes that take place after dark I was unable to see anything that was happening. I attribute this problem to the film's "Award Winning Cinematography". The most overrated movie of the year. You want to see a real movie with real cinematography. Go see Traffic.
