Crouching tiger is a very enjoyable movie, not for the actual martial arts though.


thats my point seeing it on every martial arts list as one of the best is annoying. honestly story is boring music boring figts are boring this is wuxia and there are far better movies. it isnt even a love story its about an annoying little girl and I dont even know what her problem is.. characters die stupidly..its watcable but nothing great not even good.. comparing it to others like hero,bride with white hair, a touch of zen, swordsman II etc. is laughable. 

I've only seen Hero of those and wasn't all that engaged with it. I personally place House of flying daggers above Crouching tiger, I love beautiful cinematography. I'm not that into the actual fighting, unless it'a accompanied by some beautiful shots like in Crouching tiger and Flying daggers I tend to drift off. I guess that's why movies like True grit really work for me, violence is quick and to the point with engaging dialogue and beautiful vistas as the main course. I watched it for the second time today, beautiful.
