Not as good as I hoped

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 2002)

I grew up on B grade Chinese kung-fu movies and looked forward to one that actually got great reviews.
The photography is stunning. The fight scenes were beautiful. The acting was great. The movie SUCKED! Sorry to be so mundane, but I couldn't like this movie. As a previous person stated a movie must "Suspend Disbelief" and Crouching Tiger never explained how these people could literally fly. And as many people have mentioned, in the Matrix they explain it.
The first time I saw someone flying around I was in shock and I waited for a reason. They never explain it. Then the movie turns into a poor love story. Then, the worst part of the movie, was when the witch lady (I don't remember her name) kills your hero. WAIT A MINUTE! In a previous scene our hero tells the governors daughter that this witch lady could not have taught her everything because she just isn't that good. Yet she kills him! That's like me walking into the ring with Mike Tyson and kicking his butt.
Save yourself some time and skip this movie. The only people who I've met that like this movie never saw a Bruce Lee movie before. Go rent "Enter the Dragon" and have a much more enjoyable time.
