Review of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) by Nelson P — 27 Aug 2010

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a stunning film and a real breath of fresh air in a genre that was previously somewhat stagnant. Kung-fu films were on a very steady decline, with only Jet Li making a valid effort to change things around.

It comes then as a great relief that Ang Lee decided to do what he did and put an entirely new slant on the genre. The choreography is just unbelievable. Itâ??s almost hard to believe some of the fighting styles in this movie, at some points you are guessing whether these actors are even human, it goes beyond movie magic.
