I don't understand...

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2002)

I really do not understand why so many find this movie to be so good. Is it because of the love scenes or is it the fighting scenes? I am from Hong Kong, and I had seen many HK films and I can tell you, the fighting scenes here are not groundbreaking. In fact, it is alittle silly. The only reason why this film got so many awards is because this is the first film that used HK filming techniques in Hollywood; the excess useage of wiring, swords etc...
In terms of the love story, I don't know, there are many other films have a better love story...even Titanic can do better. Also, after watching the film, I did feel somewhat 'cheated' because Chow Yun Fat is always on the front cover, but his apperances in the film is not even close to a suporting role. #38 on the list? I don't think so. Watch more HK films and decide for yourself.
