| THE MOVIE | THE MOVIE | |
| XXX | First off I must admit I am not a martial arts
- kung fu movie fan. I have never seen any Bruce Lee movies and
the extent of fighting I have seen onscreen was Mortal Kombat,
Charloe's Angels and The Matrix. I did not go see this film in
theaters. After winning the Academy Award for best foreign film
and having all my friends at work telling me how GREAT this movie
was I thought I would finally watch it. Well the fighting scenes
were cool, for the first 30 minutes. Then I completely lost interest
almost falling asleep. Maybe the expectations were too high.
The Tree sequence Roger Ebert kept saying was amazing was boring
to me. The first fight along the rooftops was much more spectacular.
I really like Michelle Yeoh in action, but enjoyed her performance
much more in James Bond's Tomorrow Never Dies. Watch that movie
instead - LOL. If you enjoy Kung Fu film then go out and buy this DVD. The quality of sound and picture is quite impressive. If you are like me and not generally interested in the genre, you are better off renting. Ebay here I come - LOL. XXX |

| SPECIAL FEATURES | SPECIAL FEATURES | |
| XXX | Well the Making Of is pure "made for general
audiences TV Special" bore. You see the stars compliment
each other and some behind the scenes footage. Unfortunately
they don't even talk about how the best part of the film was
done: The "wire" fighting. How did they get the actors
to climb walls and fly?. They speak of people pulling ropes and
then removing the wires after...SHOW US!!!! Thats what I want
to see in a Making Of. At a running time of less then 15 minutes,
it was 15 minutes too many ;) The Michelle Yeoh interview is
a bit more interesting but not that much more. I started listening
to the commentary and stopped after 25 minutes. The writer loves
to talk about himself instead of what is on screen. Ang Lee tries
harder but doesn't talk about anecdotes that occured during the
filming of his movie. A wasted commentary if you ask me. XXX |
