Crouching Tiger, Hidden Plot - Don't bother

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2001)

The action, acting and realism were about as compelling as a high quality Playstation game but the plot wasn't quite as deep. Really, I usually agree with most whether a movie is good or not but I can't see what anybody gets out of this. It didn't even hold the attention of the kids who love martial arts flicks. The fight sequences were so unrealistic and choreographed that they made a Jackie Chan movie look like a documentary. As for the plot, a love affair that should not be, intermixed with a stolen relic. Oh, that's a new one. I've never seen anything like that before. Well maybe not EXACTLY the same as this movie.
