"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

Anyone see this last night?

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?

Samwise - Frodo, i took your ring, put my finger in it...
Frodo - Its my ring... my precious!

And gay hobbit love films.

I forgot about that.

Well stryke, it's good to have opinions. Except in this case when you're clearly wrong

Yeah, but Stryke likes Buffy.

You're trying to convince people of CTHD & Hero when they cite "The One" as a "good Jet Li movie".
I'm only surprised they haven't offered up Lethal Weapon "cos Jet does kick-fu!!!!eleven"

Quietly enjoy Hero and, come August, I'll sit back and watch topics flood here before popping mine from mid-October last year.
You're on a losing battle here Stryke.

it looked good but I'd seen far better in other HK and mainland China movies and series. I like the style it's unique :)

I'm clearly fighting a losing battle here. Never mind. You all carry on mocking the floaty treetop bits.

yes it is, I suppose you're not a fan :)

Isn't this that stupid movie where they float up onto tree tops and start fighting?

Well, it's good to have opinions. Except in this case when you're clearly wrong.
