Few films have lived up to their hype like this one

Rating: Null/10 (25 February 2001)

My head is still reeling from my recent encounter with the incredible Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I had read the reviews and heard the comments and decided that I must see this phenomenon on the big screen. And I am so glad that I did! Video will not do this work of art justice. I expected remarkable action sequences and I got them! What I didn't expect was a multi-layered storyline that was interesting and intriguing all in one. The cinematography blew me away - what absolutely gorgeous images of China and her many facets! I can't recommend this film enough. You will laugh, you will gasp, you will be amazed. Ang Lee is a genius and CTHD is his baby. Enjoy.
