Rating: 3/10 (31 January 2002)

I kept waiting for whatever made this movie win Oscars. Never saw it. Watch "Ben Hur." Watch "The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire." Watch, above all,"Spartacus." "Crouching Tiger" was ROBBED. There is no comparison. This movie took great scenes from great movies, and took the heart out of them. It added great digital imaging - but not as ground-breaking as, say, "Matrix." I was bored: really, truly bored. And I went in ready to love this flick. It had violence, history, even a touch of romance. And failed to make me stay awake. The biggest, most expensive bore since Liz Taylor tried Cleopatra!
