Lavish wuxia fantasy film directed by Ang Lee and a surprise international hit. Audiences ate it up then. Does it still hold up?
Starring
Chow Yun-fat
Michelle Yeoh
Zhang Ziyi

I have seen it 3 times last about 3 years ago. I enjoyed the same all 3 times.
8\10

I agree with Donald Duck. I've seen it maybe 5 times from beginning to end since it came out and several times where I caught it once it had started or a friend was watching the dubbed version and it still gets a solid:
8/10
What did you rate it?

7/10
Good movie but not the kind of film I will likely to see again, anytime soon.
Watched it just a couple of days ago for the first time since 2001, and ended up giving it one above of my old 6/10 rating.

I was completely underwhelmed by it considering the hype when I saw it back in the day. Basically, a movie that the Hollywood decided to adopt as the big non-American movie of the year fwict. Another example of a movie like this is Slumdog Millionaire. 4/10

7/10 - Barely a 7, mainly for the visuals and action sequences. The 1st act was good, but for some reason, the last 2/3 of the movie focused on the most unlikable character in the film. Disappointing.

A-
My first viewing in more than 15yrs. The story & its nuances shine through with more viewings. With more familiarity, I'm not as hypnotized by the action & vistas. The middle act flashback arc isn't as strong as the bookends, & yet it's such a fine film overall.

I rented it given all the hype and ended up fast forwarding through most of it.
Only so many flying sword fights one can take.
