Having received this fine title yesterday in the post, I thought I'd post my personal impressions;

The disc is presented in a 2:35:1 Anamorphic picture complete with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. Not to mention a few decent extras to boot.

Having not seen this at the cinema, I'm not sure if the cinema release was presented in subtitles or not? However, the Region 3 release has been dubbed in English, which was a surprise to me.

Superb choreography throughout, some of the set-pieces here are really breathtaking. I'm not going to spoil it for you though. Yuen Woo Ping has done a terrific job with the choreography here - don't recognise the name? He was the guy who brought us the fight scenes in The Matrix and Drunken Master.

The story throughout the film flows quite well, with great character development and interaction. Some of the dialogue is a little suspect in places, but you'll end up overlooking it.

I did not know that :) Can't wait to see what Ang Lee has in store for both the prequel and sequel now.

I hear Ang Lee will be directing the Incredible Hulk movie too.

Did you know that Ang Lee has plans to make both a prequel and a sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Bet you didn't.

Well, you managed to win filmaday by posting a topic today (just about) Well done!

Spookily, a freind of mine told me about this film yesterday and said it was on at one of the nearby cinemas. I thought it sounded quite good, and you've added to my interest. I might try to catch it.
