This is a great movie!!! The fight choreography is so fluid and looks so amazing. I especially liked that a lot of the fight scenes involved women characters. Most kung fu movies have men doing the fighting. The young girl in this movie sure knows how to handle a sword.
But the storylines are what also makes this such an enjoyable movie. A bit of romance, some funny scenes, honor and goodness all come together to make this much more than a "regular" revenge-type kung-fu movie.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Added 1/2/2010
Legendary martial artist Li Mu Bai is tracking the murderer of his master. The poised and self-assured Li can handle anything -- except his feelings for lithe, pantherish Yu Shu Lien. Jen Yu, the tremulous and spoiled daughter of the Province's governor, is also fascinated by Shu Lien's glamorous life: that a woman can have so many adventures and such freedom is marvelous to her. Though the refined Jen is soon to be married off into respectability, she harbors a sinister plan. By night she transforms into a masked and cunning thief, out to steal the Green Destiny, an invincible blade once wielded by Li. At the same time, Li embarks on his own quest to recover the missing sword, possibly the key to his master's murder. This movie is a bona fide masterpiece, as beautiful as it is dangerous.

I hosted four middle school students for a night in a Mongolian style yurt that we built last spring. This movie was a big part of our evening's entertainment. The kids loved the movie. . . that is the parts they could truly hear. The colors are very dark through many sequences of the film, and the sound is low. But the movement is beautiful, and for the most part, it kept students entertained. It is a bit long, and the plot has a number of complex layers. For perhaps anyone who is less familiar with Asian culture, I would recommend it for ages 16+.

An excellent movie well grounded in chinese philosophy and mythology. It brings an interesting twist to the star crossed lovers theme of the Wu Xia genre.
