Heyas everyone

Just been to see the movie, and bloody hell it is good. It has just been added to my favourite movies list, under Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and it takes alot for me to like a film.

The special effects were awesome; the fight scenes were sublime (as is usually the case with this genre of film.) The ending was unconventional, and the scenery was breathtaking - I think that was my favourite thing about the film.

The best way I can describe it is that it is a 'beautiful' film.

I hope y'all enjoy it too

I haven't seen it yet, but i will as soon as possible. This film has something going for it that guarantees I will love it: Zhang Ziyi [img]smile.gif[/img]

I also haven't seen it yet. But from the trailers the movie, looks very good. But it will be a long time before it will be played in our cinemas. :(

<font color=skyblue>I cannot find it within 25 miles of my zipcode. Does anyone in NC know where it is playing?

Oh...and Zhang Ziyi does make the movie more exciting... [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Sorry to bring this up again...
Just wondering is this movie worth seeing?
So far I have heard a mx of good and bad points..
And I saw a trailer for it on Austar today (Autralian Foxtel) and might order it on the box office thing...

Well, I would say you should watch it, but then again I love the film. The effects and fight scenes are good, and if you have seen and liked Hero and Crouching Hidden then you will like this.

Makes me feel very peaceful when I watch it.

What the hell is a zhang ziyi? :D

P.S. I am being serious! :D

Not a bad film. The fighting one was okay.

Zhang ziyi.... [img]graemlins/1drool.gif[/img]

She's an actress, Sythe. Not as drool-worthy as the others are proposing, IMO. Isn't she rather young, as well?

She's in her mid twenties. And to each their own...I think she is beautiful. Everyone has their own tastes, though; I never could understand the whole Julia Roberts attraction.

So that is her! I seen her in the other movies but I didn't know her name.

This just came out in Australia, and strewth, it's a dead-set legend of a film! (For non-Australian's, this means that it is good!)

The fight scenes are great, the cinematography is breathtaking, and the acting pretty good too.

It looks just as fantastic as Hero, but with a much stronger plot and better performances. I'd compare it more to Crouching Tiger, in that you really care about the characters. My wife was sobbing away at the end - it's a pretty sad ending.

I give it 8 out of 10.
