Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon = best movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2001)

well certainly in my books. This movie is soooo good. The acting, the action, the scenery etc.
My hand went numb after watching the rooftop fight because it had it clenched for so long while watching it. I forgot to let the circulation in it was so good. The fight scenes are awe-inspiring.
And the scenery... my god the scenery. Will there ever be another movie with such beautiful photographed landscapes such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Wo hu zang long)? Probably... but not for a while. The forest covered mountains to the Peking-villages, all look stunning.
And the scene with Jen and Chow Yun Fat's character (I can't remember it) on the treetops is brilliant. They really are in the tree, they're not using crappy computer generated visuals (okay so in some movies they're not crappy but...). And a lot of the scenes where characters are 'flying' actually look realistic. Some of the people in my cinema were laughing at them because some of them didn't but they look great.
I bet you would never see a single string or wire in this entire movie (unlike movies along the lines of Anaconda, which I heard a rumor about having a sequel made, hah!)
And the ending... It was only a tiny bit predictable but that can be forgiven in such a fantastic movie. The final scenes in the compound area look really great. the mist and the buildings... they look so beautiful atop of the mountain.
This movie is a work of art and should not be missed by anyone!
And wouldn't you hate to walk up the set of stairs near the end of the movie?!
