I've been meaning to see it for ages but never got the chance, luckily it was shown on C4 last night, and I have to say it's amazing. The subtitles didn't bother me at all, if anything improved the film as I really don't think dubbed American accents would do it much good.
Fight scenes were brilliant, up there with the best of them, without being dragged out to point of severe boredom *cough*Reloaded*cough*. Easily one of the best films I've ever seen.
In contrast, afterwards I saw Mr. Nice Guy, one of the worst films I've ever seen. How is it possible to use so much slow motion and blurring effects?

It totally ruined the film and i found it impossible to take it seriously.
Watched Good Will Hunting instead, which I preferred.

I agree entirely, it was rather slow moving at points, and whilst the fight scenes were fantastic, the movie was let down all in all.
I urge you to check out some of the classic Jet Li films amongst others if you enjoyed Crouching Tiger.
This film was the biggest case of film bods going:
"oh look a less developed country has made a reasonable effort at a movie, lets rave about it so we seem cultured and might encourage more movies from them"
Such an over rated film, this is one of those films which was much better dubbed as well, It was all chinese actors i seem to remember? I heard some of the actors who could spoke their own parts (Michelle Yeo, Chow yun ) but it might not be true.

I personally always prefer subtitles if there is the choice. I loved the move too, as a romantic fantasy. It just looked beautiful. *shrugs*
[Edit] And I'm fairly sure its a joint american / tiawan / hong kong production.
the story line was pretty rubbish too.
18th Best All Time Film is a complete joke.
