Even better then Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2003)

This movie paints pictures and tells stories so beautifully that I found it hard not to vote '10' for it. Out of nearly 1000 movies in my vote history, this would have been the 3rd of 4th to get that mark. In the end, I decided not to - it'll have to settle with a 9 :-)
What's good about it (damn near perfect, in fact) is just about anything that needs to be good about a movie - cinematography, script, special effects, casting. Acting is not always perfect, but still damn good.

What's not perfect about the movie is that it's in Chinese. I know, highly subjective, but since I don't understand it, I can't understand/enjoy the movie to its fullest.
If you liked Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, you'll love this one.
