Why all the fuss?

Rating: 1/10 (5 January 2002)

Why did people fall so in love with this movie? Here are just some of the problems:
(a) Chow Yun-Fat CAN'T act.
(b) I could see the wires.
(c) Amateurish plot [reminded me of the spaghetti westerns...if they were set in ancient China]
(d) Who the hell cares about any of these characters?
(e) You'll have trouble following along as Ang Lee expects you to remember seemingly thousands of ying-yang places, people, and items. How is that entertainment?
(f) The subtitled version gives characters names like "Jade Fox..master thief." This sounds like some Chinese B-movie. (on second thought.....)
