Plot: Known for making films about familial relationships, director Ang Lee surprised everyone with his martial arts epic CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. Based on a novel by Wang Du Lu, CROUCHING TIGER starts with the revenge plot common in the wuxia stories that Lee loved as a child, then adds a feminist twist. Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat) is a legendary martial artist who has decided to pass on his sword, the Green Destiny, to a friend. Soon afterward, the sword is stolen by a masked female, setting in motion events that test the bonds of family, love, duty, and sisterhood. Chow appears with three generations of female stars: Cheng Pei Pei, a 1960s action heroine; Michelle Yeoh, the beauty queen turned 1980s action goddess; and newcomer Zhang Ziyi, who smolders as the princess who wants more than domestic tranquillity. Famed action choreographer Yuen Woo-Ping (THE MATRIX) stages jaw-dropping zero-G fights across rooftops, rivers, and bamboo trees, while Yo-Yo Ma punctuates the fisticuffs with dramatic cello solos. Described by Lee as "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY with martial arts," CROUCHING TIGER recalls the best wuxia films of the 1960s and pushes the genre in new

Wow. If this isn't the most overrated movie of all time, I don't know what is. The ratio on Rotten Tomatoes of good reviews vs. bad reviews is something like 90 to 3. Everyone I've talked to about the movie loves it. The critics love it. It's garnered more awards than I'd care to think about. And it sucks. It's boring, pointless, slow and boring.  --David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has something for everyone. It's the sort of film that crosses lines of all sorts -- bringing together young people who enjoy the fighting, older folks who love serious, costumed 'foreign' films, and everyone in-between. 85/100--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
