The best movie in years!

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2001)

Going into this movie, I really didn't know what to expect. I hadn't even heard of it until I saw it on the cover of a magazine. Later on, a friend of mine told me that he had seen it, and he said it was mediocre at best.
Boy am I glad that he was wrong. Everything about this film is pure excellence. The actors are great, especially Zhang Ziyi, who nearly stole every scene she was in. The fight scenes (and I'm not a great fan of fighting movies in general) were very very beautiful. This film manages to pull off so many different things, it's unbelievable. If it doesn't win the oscar for best picture, I'll be upset.
