A Fantastic Movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2001)

When a movie that gets an extremely high rating as this movie has and gets as many poor reviews as this is getting it usually means the rare ones who don't like it are so jelous of the movie's popularity they need to write multiple reviews to make people understand their minority opinion. It's ranked 21st so please, the vast majority of people love this movie. The rating is a much better indicator than the reviews are on how people like a movie. I write reviews because I want to express my opinion, not because I have an unusually high ego.
Now to the movie. It has a great story, fantastic beautiful art direction and cinamatography, and some of the best fight scenes ever on film. No performances in particular are spectacular, but they still all do a great job and the atmosphere is so great that just their presense seems spectacular. The best movie of 2000 no question in my mind and by far the best martial arts movie ever made.
