crouching tiger kicking ass

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2007)

i was intrigued when is saw the advertisements for this film. But when i saw it, i didn't realise i would be getting so much more. This film goes further than a simple kung fu flick. It draws you into a world full of mystery, love, fantasy and of course the kicking styles of flying ninjas. Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang are gorgeous and are terrific in their performances. This film deals with suppressed characters who are trapped in their lives by a society that rules over them. The fight scenes are tremendously exciting, the music is addictive as well as great and the story is so rich you want more.
I'll admit, this movie made me weep at the end from the power of its characters, fight for love and its ability to keep you glued to the seat for 2 glorious hours.
Quite, simply, one of the best films ever, and most certainly one of my all time favorites!!!
