I watched this movie yesterday evning fot the first time and I must say I loved it. It's very good. I like the story, the fights, evertyhing. The flying parts might be a little bit over the top but still, a very good movie. It was a little sad that the sword owner died at the end but still it helds a very good message.

<font color=skyblue>Did you see the original version or the extended new release?</font>

There was an extended version of this movie? What does this extended version add to the original one?

I didn't know there was an extended edition either.
Does it have subtitles rather than dubbed? I watched a dubbed version and it just didn't have the same feel as the original subtitled version.

I like the subtitled version better myself. If you liked it, check our Hero or House of Flying Daggers

Subtitled is always better than dubbed. I saw a subtitled rip of the movie before it was even released in the us as I recall.

Then I saw the dubbed version, dubbing just doesn't work.

For another GREAT subtitled movie get "Das Boot"... don't even bother with the dubbed version. It's the ultimate submarine movie, bar none.

<font color=skyblue>I found the New Release Extended Edition at Blockbuster. You have to look closely at the box to pick up on the mention that it is not the original release.

I own the original and do not want to rent the new one until somebody else tells me that it is worth it.

I watched the original version not the extended one. I didn't even know that extended one exists.

Yeah, Hero was really good as well. What is House of Flying Daggers like? Comparable to these other two?

House of Flying Daggers is less good than both Hero and Crouching Tiger, however it is still worth watching and has some excellent parts.

<font color=skyblue> I heard just the opposite...that Flying D. was better by far...

I could not see it for myself, but will be waiting on the DVD this month, to see House of Flying Daggers. </font>

I didn't really see what the hype was about. I liked Hero alot, but CTHD just bored me.

What bored you about it? I thought it had a great mix of everything you need for a good movie.

Well, the fight scenes and plot.
