The Nut Gallery
To be honest this was the first subtitled movie I have ever watched and I even went to the movie theatre to watch it. I remember the first few minutes thinking to myself - wow, this reading subtitles is going to get old. Though, as the movie goes along I ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at The Nut Gallery
At-A-Glance Film Reviews
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon may be the most beautiful film I've ever seen. It's an odd compliment to make for a martial arts action film, but to pigeonhole this into a single genre is to do it an injustice. This is also a bittersweet romance between ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at At-A-Glance Film Reviews
Movie Gazette review (Andrea Chee)
Chow Yun Fat stars as Lee Mu Bai, a highly-skilled martial arts master. When he decides to give his legendary sword, the Green Destiny, to the elder Sir Te (Lung Sihung) it is his friend and fellow warrior Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) he asks to carry it ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at Movie Gazette review (Andrea Chee)
DVD Journal
What I love about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is that all three of the above introductory quotes (even Max's gender-insensitive rant) can be argued with varying degrees of passion. The movie transcends its wire-fu epic conventions and emerges as a ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at DVD Journal

have to admit, I was blown away by the amazing cinematography of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (hereby referred to as CTHD for brevity's sake). The movie is breathtaking to look at and the acting is first-rate by the leads, although the secondary ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at BeyondHollywood.com
3 Black Chicks...Review Flicks
If your idea of A Good Time doesn't include watching a two-hour movie that scoffs at the laws of gravity, involves warrior chicks kickin' butt and taking names, and does so without a single line of spoken English, you might want to skip this review and ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at 3 Black Chicks...Review Flicks
THE WEEKLY MOVIE REVIEW
When critics are this united, it's almost better to be skeptical. Hey, why not? We've been burned so many times before, it's difficult not to be. However, everything after the first fight scene will alleviate your doubts and make you a believer. ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at THE WEEKLY MOVIE REVIEW
eFilmCritic Reviews
Take The Matrix, cross it with the acrobatics and Gene Kelly-like flair of Jackie Chan and then take away gravity. That, in 20 words or less is the best way to describe the action sequences in Ang Lee's beautiful and exciting new film, Crouching Tiger, ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at eFilmCritic Reviews

The Net-Monster reviews "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
It seems "Wutan" is a form of martial arts which, in addition to teaching old standbys like the groin kick, also trains you to fly through the air like Underdog and catch blow darts with chopsticks. Faster than you can say, "Where do I sign up?" we meet ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at The Net-Monster reviews "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
JoBlo's Movie Emporium reviews "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
An epic in every sense of the word, this film combines some of the coolest fight sequences ever put to the big screen with majestic cinematography and an all-encompassing tale of love, honor and fantasy.

PopMatters
Growing up in LA during the 1980s, I would wait every Saturday for KFC. Not the fried chicken, but Kung Fu Cinema, a weekly dose of martial arts movies on local television. For me and many of my peers who grew up with visions of Bruce Lee dancing in our ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at PopMatters

Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Love and violence, and a great title. The incredibly fluid, poetic ballet-ridden fight scenes got most of the ink, but the simple love lines are also great. Exotic and spectacular locations, fearless guidance by Ang Lee (who doesn't flinch as he sways ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)
Dave's Other Movie Log Review
The best thing I can say about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, directed by Ang Lee, is that it is probably the only good film currently in release that can be recommended to just about anyone--with the possible exception of jerks who hate foreign films ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at Dave's Other Movie Log Review

Chicks who kick ass are sexy. Why is that, I wonder? Is it because we men are at heart wimps, and love the idea of a woman who can defend her own honor, so we don't have to? Or is it the fact that a chick who kicks ass is certain to have a flat stomach, ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at LeisureSuit.net
Reviews On The Side by Steve Lekowicz
A gorgeous, romantic, textured, yet kick-ass combo movie from Ang Lee. Ang Lee! Yes! The guy who brought us movies of stifled emotion and slow burn. The Ice Storm was his last opus, and I say opus because I mean it. This guy's films are musical. The Ice ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at Reviews On The Side by Steve Lekowicz
Reel Spirit at SpiritSite.com review
To physical appearances, the world is indeed filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
From a spiritual/martial arts perspective, however, these "evils" and troubles aren't the reality they seem. Our tigers and dragons are slippery, tricky, ...read the complete Crouching Tiger movie review at Reel Spirit at SpiritSite.com review

DVDBeaver.com (Gary W. Tooze)
Ang Lee has built quite a respectable movie career in the last ten years in both America and his native Taiwan. As director of Oscar magnets like "Sense and Sensibility" and "The Ice Storm," each production has built on the prestige of the last.

Yeah I know people think all of these Chinese movies are the same but Crouching Tiger is really in a class of it's own. Awesome action, great score, great acting, good story. The martial arts in this movie are beyond compare, though unrealistic, ...
by cicero0000 on July 16, 2009 Half Moon Bay, California
This is not, as we in the West unconsciously think, something that hasn't been made hundreds of times before. However, the beauty of the fairy tale world, the action scenes that are almost like dances, and the richness of an exotic plot make this a ...
