Look at them go! Aww bless, with all that running up walls and across trees, they're gonna sleep well tonight. For a better summary of this movie, I'm sure there are a billion critics waiting to tell you how much they love/hate it. A sacred sword is stolen from a renowned warrior, and a young girl is rebelling against her planned future. The warrior tries to work out the mystery, keep his peaceful ways intact, and show his love to the only woman he truly cares for, and the thief causes continuous trouble. Some of the most impressive sword fights ever put on cinema, ranking with those in countless Hong Kong classics, Ang Lee's stunning film is filled with beauty. The photography of the landscapes are equal, if not more impressive than those in the LOTR trilogy, and you cannot help but gasp at the sights. Some excellent from acting, from the three leads, with Chow Yun Fat holding back the violent outbursts which made him famous from Hard-Boiled and The Killer. Anyone of the sword fights will provide memorable images, making this a movie which will be difficult to forget. Made many people who were afeard of subtitles conquer their fear. 8 out of 10
