Who hated Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?

[rimmer]

It was bullshit, but the exoticness thirsty western critics praised it. My Asian girlfriend and her sister laughed at the stupid flying. Spectacular fighting sequences... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact films like this so called masterpiece are regarded in Asia like the TV-series Bold and Beautiful in USA and Europe.

 

[TxCollegeguy]

of course the asian critics would rate it bad, they have been watching movies like it for years...

I haven't seen it and will refuse to do so as long as I possibly can. When EVERYONE says something is "awesome," it usually sucks.

heman is awesome... j/j ill probably watch it someday, i cant believe they didnt at least dub it for tape. hey!! why are you knocking the flying shit?? thats what makes all the old school kung fu flicks so good, they do shit no human could possibly do.

 

[HamsterHider]

some really old monks up in the mountains of sho lin can really fly like that it took them years and years od dedication and discipline. For Real

what I'm reading roughly translates to
"Hey Cletus...I really wanted to see that there hidin' lion jumping dragon mooveee but it ain't in english and I caint read so good"

As far as the flying goes, it isn't a martial arts flick. It is a fantasy and a well done fantasy at that.
The whole thing is woven into ancient Asian lore.

I didn't expect everyone to like it or even to "get it". It is the cultural differences that make our planet into a place worth living.

jesus christ!! you took that personally!! did you write/act/direct/produce in it?

I don't care what anyone else says, I loved Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, saw it four or five times.

The movie is actually about independence and making choices. If you think about it you'll see why.

Besides Zhang Ziyi kicks ass in those fight scenes.

 

[lynaghgrew]

it was beyond shite

 

[The Dude]

Loved it. I forgot that I was reading and if a foreign film can do that, it's pretty damn good in my book.

In my opinion it was just a very beautiful movie in all respects. Interesting epic type story. Never seeing anything like it before, i have nothing to compare it to, and really liked it.
