Crouching Tiger i feel was the most disappointing movie experience i've had. Don't get me wrong- it was a great film, but when i heard a martial arts movie got so many Oscar nominations i couldn't wait to see it.
The fight scenes were excellent, but I wasn't impressed by the way they were shot. The camera should just have stayed fixed on the fighters, allowing us to see the great technical fighting more closely.
I thought the story was sound, but a bit weak and ultimately unrewarding. The end was inevitable, but it seemed a bit rushed.
I own the DVD and still rate it as one of my top 20 films, but i was expecting so much more...
What does anyone else think about the film??

i thought it was wicked not that overrated know one who i know whos seen it thought that ever it was a good film the fighting seens where wicked the swords where good a funny bit was when the bloke was there where the water was when jade fox fired all that poison and he them all away then he felt his neck and one had hit hes like damn that was funny
No, it's not overrated at all. It has some magnificent fight sequences, yes. But it also has a great story and a brilliant ending. All 3 of the main actors/actresses are also fantastic especially Michelle Yeoh.
CTHD is ludicrously over-rated. Somehow a marginaly above average film has managed to get the "Best Thing Ever" tag - for goodness sake it isn't even Ang Lee's best film (which would be Ice Storm).
You made the basic flaw that most make - CTHD isn't a martial arts film at all - it is a love story that features a couple of magnificant fight sequences (oh, and your the camera should stay still comment is verging on the idiotic). If you watch CTHD expecting out and out fighting you'll be very dissappointed as it is really a reasonable tired love story told in a tried and tested way.
