Not your normal review.

Ok, This is more of a comment for some of the reviewers. Especially torwell from texas. NEVER trust a person that can't back up their comments with an email addy. He first comments are on the unrealistic nature of the film. It is based on ancient Chinese legends. The flying and wall climbing is part of the ancient mythology. Europeans are not the only ones to have wonderful stories in mythology. The film is in Mandarin, not Japanese or Siberian like he alludes to. torwell's review like so many others, do not seem to grasp what other cultures may have in their legends and history. You do have to suspend your typical Western beliefs and accept their are other cultures with as rich of a history as our western culture. This movie is beautiful and mesmerising on so many layers. I can't say much in here that has not been said in other places. In case torwell and others think they can pigeonhole me in some catagory. I am a Republican, I believe in the right to bear arms. I love Bruce Willis and Arnold movies. I Love Hockey and Football. I Even like country music. And I LOVED "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" You don't have to be a tree hugger or a socialist to enjoy this movie. You just have to be open minded and suspend disbelief for a couple hours.
