I've been reading through at least three pages of comments for this movie and all that ones that I read that were negative all mentioned the same thing. It was "corny" because the characters flew over rooftops and through trees. Or it was "unoriginal" because it was about Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang's characters because so many American movies have strong women as central characters. Hey, guess what? This ISN'T an American movie. Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang's characters aren't two airheads running around like chickens without heads. You can't compare this movie with any other movie that's been made. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is so original, it apparently hurts some people to admit to it. I found this movie to be the best movie I had seen all year, and I saw a lot of movies this year. Everything about this movie was wonderful, and its a shame some people can't see past the visual representation of the character's strengths. They don't fly because they're related to Peter Pan...Their ability to fly is a representation of their power as warriors. But as I've said before, there's just some people who don't get it, and its a shame too. This movie is just beautiful and I would recommend it to everyone. (In fact, I have!)

When I first saw a clip of this movie on a talk show that Ang Lee was on, I KNEW I wanted to see it. I saw it the second week it was in release, and it was GREAT! I was so afraid that they were going to dub the movie and I was worried that the subtitles might go super fast like they do with some of the other movies I've seen, but they don't. The artistry of this movie is wonderful. It seems a little corny or melodramatic in parts, but that's easily ignored with the wonderful actors in the movie and I was so happy to see lots of people seeing a subtitled movie! The fight scenes are wonderful, Michelle Yeoh's fight scenes in particular. I was just so happy with this movie! I'd see it again if it were playing around here, but it isn't. I saw it in Philadelphia. But I would HIGHLY recommend this movie to anyone. Its so much more than an action flick.

Tenchi Forever! is perhaps the best thing that ever had Tenchi's name on it. For once, the entire Tenchi crew is taken on a trip that explore their emotions and feelings. There is no action, no fighting, and its light on humor, but its supposed to be that way. That's what makes this movie unique from the others. Ryoko and Aeka are forced to work together and Tenchi is finally pushed toward choosing between them. This movie makes me cry every time I see it. The animation is beautiful, although you do find yourself wishing for a glimpse of the Tenchi Muyo! TV series animation, but this is great in its own right. I perfectly wonderful movie. 10 out of 10. Its just great.
