Kind of pointless...

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2003)

I heard my friends rave about this movie before I saw it. I heard them rave about it AFTER I saw it. But as for me, I did no raving--no, this movie is not worth a second thought.
The dialogue is rather ridiculous and the fighting scenes were made to entertain an audience with the mind of a child. Warriors flitting from tree to tree, soaring across the tops of buildings... This was not my type of action at all.
The romance was blah. I mean, it was well-acted or whatever, but there was nothing special about it. A typical love story set in an atypical, unbelievable context.
Basically, what we have with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a big budget, a good choreographer, and a few good actors. I'm sorry, however, that this does not constitute all the right ingredients for a good movie. Make it have a point.
