Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2000)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon does have a good story (though I feel that over time this film has begun to be over-rated), the fight sequences are extraordinary. And besides the fact that seeing people fly in a film that should be semi-real (and almost implying that if you're Peter Pan and get taught by Bruce Lee your the ultimate fighting man), the fights between the guys, the girls, the guys between the girls with swords and other medieval things make this film highly reccomended, whether you are a average movie-goer, fans of the Matrix or of just plain old Kung fu action and stories. It is a lot of fun packed in one movie, even if it isn't completely perfect. Directed (surprisingly) by Ang Lee of the Joy Luck Club. A
