Tigers Roars At Times But Mostly Bites!

Rating: 5/10 (3 March 2001)

I think that the critics that have selected `Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' as one of the best films of the year are a bunch of kung fools. This overrated film about a missing sword and its struggle to get it back does not kick ass, contrary to popular belief. Superior chinese epics in the past have made me `Enter The Dragon' and even go back once more and `Return To The Dragon.' However, this one made me `hide forever from the dragon.' Listen, I am not being a big crouch or should I say grouch. I do have to bow my head to the spectacular fight scenes wonderfully directed by Ang Lee. All in all, CHTD is OK but not one you should see ASAP. *** Average
