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 can't see how you can say the music was boring it won the academy awards for the best original score and rightfully so because the only other movie that was nearly as good was the score for Gladiator by Hans Zimmer and as much as I love Ennio Moricone his score for Malena is nowhere near his best work and neither was John Williams score for the Patriot and Rachel Portman score for Chocolat sounds very unoriginal.  On top of that the score in Crouching Tiger was performed by the best living cellist Yo-Yo Ma they couldn't have gotten anyone else that would have done a better job.  Also a lot of times the acedemy gets it wrong Ennio Morricone should have won back to back Oscars for The Mission and The Untouables on top of that his best score of all time in Once Upon a Time in America wasn't even nominated since the film was poorly edited in the US release which sank it changes for getting any nominations.
