Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2020)

Exciting, often beautiful, and captivating- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon may be predictable to a fault at times, but is still packed with enough enjoyment, action, and romance to prove to be something unique and truly worthwhile. Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi lead the cast, and both provide some fantastic performances throughout. The supporting actors are also quite good, most notably Chow Yun-fat, as Master Li. The film is surprisingly very entertaining, with some truly impressive and unique action sequences unlike any film before and any film after. The film is very cleverly shot, with some truly captivating and beautiful cinematography. The film handles its plot and story very well, though it can be rather predictable to watch at times. However, even with this issue, the film still manages to be very entertaining to watch- and even very exciting from time to time. The romance in the film is brilliantly executed, and feels genuine and very poignant. In the end, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is full of truly original and captivating moments for the screen. It may be a bit obvious to see where its going from time to time, but it can be extremely entertaining, and is often quite sharp and well acted.
