Warning: This is not Jackie Chan nor Jet Li!

Rating: 6/10 (18 February 2001)

When I went to see "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" I was expecting some sort of Jackie Chan kind of movie. How wrong was I. This is a good movie, but here's a warning to those kung fu movies fan: this is NOT a Jackie Chan or Jet Li kind of movie!
The movie is very beautiful, and very well directed. The fighting scenes are great, but not the best ever filmed. The problem is that sometimes this movie gets slow, and some other times it gets VERY slow. But hey, this is an art movie, not some mindless action movie like kung fu fans are used to see.
I do recommend "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for those who like a good martial arts sequence and like a good old slow paced drama. I think it is a good movie, but overrated...
