Mon, 3 Aug 2009 19:02:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author benezah - Lots of action surrounded by lots of sneaking about in the dark. A sword given up by a long time legend master of martial arts goes missing, and after a short while the young princess staying at a family friends house is the one who is sneaking...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author marcia99116 - This is even appealing to the women out their although the story is kinda slow, it is a work of art. Didn't like the ending but I like typical endings, this was out of the...

mvie mu-1102698: The Best Kung-Fu movie ever

Tue, 14 Sep 2004 02:06:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pat28 - When you hear about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you may assume that, like so many Jet Li and Jackie Chan movies, the movie is all about the fighting; that the fighting creates the story. Upon seeing it for the first time, you may determine that it is...

mvie mu-1102698: Fly-ins and Tigers and Dragons, Oh My

Wed, 31 Mar 2004 04:31:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author metalluk - I’m not a big fan of martial arts films. Fact is, I’m not even a little fan of martial arts films. First off, I have no interest in gratuitous violence. Second, I actually like films to have a story. I know – that sounds terribly radical...

mvie mu-1102698: A Verdant, Heavyhearted Film Whose Master-of-the-Muted Director Gives Voice to Deep Longing

Sun, 25 May 2003 11:22:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmaslinisahack - The title "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a redundancy: a tiger crouching in the long grass, ready to pounce. A dragon, concealed as well, another predator. The two title animals are symbols of passion, romantic passion, I feel. Two sets of...

mvie mu-1102698: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Best!

Thu, 22 May 2003 16:18:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kjb96a - I was pretty skeptical when a guy wanted to take me to see "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for our first date when it was still in theaters! By its title, I was thinking it was like a mystical Jackie Chan movie and cheesy like the title.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twoluckyforu -

I saw this movie today and I came away with astonishment. I've seen these movies before but without the captions on the bottom and I never really understood them. I hate blood and fighting, even though this movie was full of it I actually was...

mvie mu-1102698: Crouching Dog, Hidden Patty

Fri, 13 Sep 2002 23:25:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BrianKoller - I was a little disappointed with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Part of the letdown may have been due to raised expectations. I had seen two previous films by acclaimed director Ang Lee, and both (Sense and Sensibility, Eat Drink Man...

mvie mu-1102698: The reason Jedi master's don't impress me

Fri, 30 Aug 2002 15:58:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author youngchinq - Just so I don’t get tempted to make any Crouching x, Hidden y jokes I’m going to refer to this film by its Chinese name, Wo Hu Cang Long (unless you know mandarin, don’t try to pronounce it, you’ll only sound like a fool). The English...

mvie mu-1102698: Sleeping Tiger, Lost Dragon

Wed, 21 Aug 2002 12:37:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author incinemator - Here's a movie about some folks who learn magical martial arts on some mystic mountain, value mere swords much more than reason ought to allow, and feign at love hidden inside an "honor" that has more in common with constipation than any real authentic...

mvie mu-1102698: Crouching Blu, Hidden Marmalade

Mon, 29 Jul 2002 20:51:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blu_marmalade - I had been itching to see this movie for a while. Though it was in Subtitles, people said it was worth seeing. I couldn't take their word for it. I had to see it for myself.

To my delight, I could toggle the subtitles and English dubbing on my DVD...

mvie mu-1102698: One of the year's best

Sun, 17 Feb 2002 16:27:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sleshner - This is an incredible film. The audience can tell from the beginning that this is not the typical American blockbuster, and not just because of the subtitles. The sweet simplicity of the plot is something rarely achieved (or attempted) by the Hollywood...

mvie mu-1102698: Don't believe the hype!

Tue, 1 Jan 2002 14:42:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Jenga616 - This movie has gotten rave reviews from many people. After seeing the movie I'm not really sure why. I think it's one of those cases where the critics are analyzing movies based on critical elements and movie making and people like me watch movies to...

mvie mu-1102698: Unhidden Greatness

Tue, 18 Dec 2001 23:42:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - Epinions advises against writing reviews of things that have already been reviewed. There are 362 reviews of this film as I write this. I take the Epinions guidelines seriously. I mean, the only reason to write a review is to make the penny per...

mvie mu-1102698: Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger

Sun, 18 Nov 2001 16:09:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yummybean - As a kid who grew up with Kong-fu movies and Chinese dramas, I cannot understand all those hypes in the American critics. After seeing the movie, I was shocked by how poor the plot was and how lame the fighting scenes were. I¡¦ve see many Chinese...

mvie mu-1102698: A new type of Martial Arts movie!

Fri, 2 Nov 2001 21:00:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sherwinliu - Let me begin by saying that I am not a fan of martial arts movies in general. While they are enjoyable and fun, that is about all I get out of them, usually. The problem in my mind lies in the general silliness of it, but that humor is also what...

mvie mu-1102698: Lovin' and fightin' in late Q'ing China

Sun, 28 Oct 2001 15:00:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Stephen_Murray - Sword-fighting between wuxia masters (and interlopers) fills a substantial amount of time in this fairly long movie. Similarly, mostly senseless violence filled a substantial amount of time in Ang Lee's preceding film, the edge of the American Civil War...

mvie mu-1102698: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Mon, 8 Oct 2001 21:54:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author DavidMac - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was the surprise hit of 2000, without much question. The film, directed by Ang Lee, is a Chinese production (in Mandarin with subtitles), and the performers, naturally, are Chinese and are not exactly household names,...

mvie mu-1102698: Ang Lee Throws a "Subtle" Punch in This Truly Beautiful Film.

Sat, 25 Aug 2001 18:28:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ispeakup - I think it's important to note that just because we Americans discovered something doesn't actually mean that it didn't exist before we chanced upon it. Films like this are standard fare, evidenced by films like "Twin Warriors," and Chinese soap opera...

mvie mu-1102698: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Plot

Fri, 24 Aug 2001 16:53:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emeraldcite - I will start out by saying that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a wonderful kung-fu movie that will wow you with its special effects and absolutely stunning fight scenes that put the punch and blood method of Fight Club to shame. I am not putting...

mvie mu-1102698: Not like every other American Martial Arts Film

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 13:31:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carizmatic - Once you watch the first 5 minutes of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; you will notice that this movie is like not like every other martial arts film that as been shown in America...it is one that is much more original.

The setting of the movie...

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 01:00:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ChromeKiller - The first time that I had heard about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was on the radio. There it was, the movie recommended by Howard Stern himself. Of course, I thought the message was a joke of his. The name of the film itself didn't sound right...

mvie mu-1102698: An Action Film a Girl Could Love--Crouching Tiger on DVD

Sun, 19 Aug 2001 23:15:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scarrgo - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on DVD was one of the best movie experiences I have had at home.

Chow Yun Fat ("The biggest movie star on the planet"), Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi are intense in their individual roles and draw you into their...
