Great classic Martial Arts Film in the millenium

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2002)

Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger directed by Ang Lee is probably one of the best pictures of 2000.
Instead of wasting my money seeing a terrible movie like Hannibal, like other people did, I went to see this.
The movie is about a warrior swordsman Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) who is deciding to retire from his samurai like life.
His adventures have been written in many books, along with his sword called "The Green Lightning".
Since he is going to retire, he will leave his sword,over 400 yrs old, in the care of his friend,Governor Yu.
Bai since the death of his master who was poisoned by Jade Fox has been seeking justice,but after not finding her ,he decides to quit.
Until he gets his sword stolen by a would be assassin.
In the quest to find his sword, he is helped by Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh), who is his close friend.
Shu Lien has been watching over, a girl Jen Yu who is daughter of Governor Yu.
The movie blends in great samurai like fighting with special effects, and it provides quite an enjoyable movie experience.
For example, Lin Mu Bai can not only fight, but he can fly and walk on water.
In one scene, he battles an opponent in the air while avoiding the huge trees in his path.
I should also note that the movie has subtitles so people who can't read (like the people who NR my opinions) will find this an insult to their intelligence. LOL
Bai finds out it is Fox who is behind this stealing of his sword,but she is not alone.
I ain't gonna spoil the movie by telling you more, just take my word for it, it's good.
It has already been nominated for several awards.
On the Internet Movie DataBase the film has gotten a 9 out a 10 rating.
It is excellent.
