Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
What’s The Fuss?
I watched Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon the other night. First sat through this movie a few years back, shortly after its release.
For the recent viewing I was disappointed. The plot was weak. The characters were wooden, the settings and costumes were good. The fight sequences were excellent, highly polished and drilled to perfection. On the whole its not a movie I would recommend.
I found the whole flying around like learner pilots a little hard to swallow and felt it somehow detracted from the viewing experience. I know its a Wuxia thing, but I felt it was overdone.
I checked reviews out on a few movie websites and was taken back by the rave reviews it universally received. Maybe the movie has aged, since its release in 2000? Nine years is a long time in cinema.
If you want to watch an excellent movie in this genre, I recommend “House of Flying Daggers”. I did a post on a while ago.
Not recommended.
Runtime: 120 mins
