Maybe Not for Everyone

Rating: 3/10 (25 June 2001)

I checked out "Crouching Tiger..." simply because of all the rage surrounding this film. I sat down really expecting to like this film. I really wanted to. After a few minutes of red hot anticipation for what would come, I grew accustomed to the pace and waited for the "real story" to begin. And waited. And waited. And for me, it never did appear to really get going. I understand that lots of people really liked this. And nothing against them (heaven knows there are lots of movies that I really like that others hate (Starship Troopers?)) but I was entirely bored the whole time. I guess I just didn't get it (as was the case for others, I'm sure, in Starship Troopers). Even the action wasn't enough to get me going. I didn't really dig the "flying" thing as it were. So, maybe you'll love this movie and it will leave you saying, "WoW!" Or maybe you won't and it will leave you saying, "Huh?" So, the bottom line is, maybe this isn't for you. Check out Starship Troopers. :)
