Who hated Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?

GREAT MOVIE

The whole flying people thing actually has historical significance. Traditional Chinese believe that there ancestors were able to fly, but that this ability is a lost secret of there ancestors. No this is not bullshit, my Asian Cultural studies professor (which is Chinese) covered this in class along with it being stated in Asian history books(sans the reference to this movie). Yes, in the movie it was done very cheesy, I was rather disapointed since the FX guy was the same one that did the Matrix FX. The same goes for the scene in which they are walking on the bamboo, yet another lost ability.

Most parts of the movie that are "weird" are due to cultural differences. Since I've studied Asia fairly significantly, I spent a good time explaining alot of the movie to my friends which unlike me, don't get off on anything Asian.

This was a ok movie, definately not a epic Asian film like some think it is though, I've seen Anime movies more epic than this. It's fairly soap-operaish compared to some/most of the other azn movies I have seen.

With that said, they picked some good actresses, I have a MAJOR Asian fetish and Ziyi Zhang was/is super hot!!!

Well, well, it seems the majority liked the movie, hah! Or maybe it was the majority of the intelligent board members ( ), sorry couldn't resist that cheap shot.

Captain Awesome, nobody cares about what you say anyhow, nobody intelligent anyways!

omg what a bunch of horseshit. i can't believe so many people are knocking this movie. you all probably watch howard the duck every night while cuddled up in your might ducks III jersey. this was a kick ass movie and someone obviously stole your taste in movies in two moves.

It was ok. I don't think it came close to living up all the hype. Shitty plot, shitty ending. They should have smoked that little bitch at the end.

I thought that it was beautifully done. A lot of people who see this film are not used to that genre. And also, yes, I think that there is some cultural stuff that makes it a little strange for people to relate to. I loved it and I think it's great that a foreign language film has made it so big here. There are a couple of other foreign language movies that were great too: All About My Mother (Spain, I think) and Dreamlife of Angels (France). You will cry if you see these. Or atleast your girlfriend will.
