'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' is basically nothing more than cinematic fools gold.Why (seemingly) alot of people and critics were so taken with this movie is really beyond me. For crying out loud - get a grip!!Apparently, at the time, the exotic, sensual and flashy quality of the movie really charmed some people.But don't be swindled by all the razzle-dazzle prettiness of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' - this 'fools gold' is really nothing more than a dreary trip that takes you nowhere.Now if that was the 'moral'/message of the movie - well, it succeeded.p.s.if you decide to see 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' - try seeing 'Support Your Local Sheriff' after (for a good laugh) - you'll need it!!
