House of Flying Daggers, Hero, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, etc...

What do you think about these films??? I personally think its film making at its best. Granted the story lines may be a little weak for the american crowd specially those opposed to reading subtitles, but damn the scenes are shot so beautifully w/ cool special fighting effects that make the matix look like an indie film.

[AtifSajid]

I love the fighting effects. They are the best, whether it looks whack or not. I love em.

[soul]

when HOFD come out on DVD? or did it already?

HERO was a good one to, there is alot more people just dont know about em cause there not big films

hofd came out last week 15.99$ at Frys/Target

i enjoy seeing these movies. of course the fighting scenes/sequences are what get people in the seats... but i enjoy seeing stories from and about other cultures. they don't necessarily have the stereotypical hollywood storyline or ending.

they're nice changes of pace from the typical hollywood movie.

the prequel to cthd is being written.

[ruah_23]

The story line is a piece of shit.....

that's all I have to say.

[soul]

Watche HOFD and OMG that was good stuff

[AtlantaImportGuy]

[chameleon30038]

[HyPer50]

Out of those, I've only seen hero... and it was alright.. It was good until the very end.

[Tuan]

i think there great movies and give all of them 2 thumbs up...whoever directs all these movies no where to shoot cuz they have awsome sceneries (sp)...grant also that the old chinese movies b4 these pave the way for the matrix, kill bill, and ect.

i have that...it hard as shit to find but i found it at cd warehouse...someone traded it in

[AznTraitor]

I just rented house of flying daggers, and I think it's a top notch movie! very well directed and was not boring whatsoever unlike crouching tiger....story was great, fight sequences were up to par, and of course the flying is always nice.


I heard hero was a little slow to start and could be border line boring....

I heard hero was a little slow to start and could be border line boring....

it's sort of an old school tale of two people trading stories or riddles... and it's through the stories/riddles that the movie takes place. i have no idea whether or not it's an old asian legend/story or not, but it has that sort of feel.

i think people go in to this sort of movie with the thought "it's jet li, and it's from asia... so there's going to be lots of fighting." and when there's a story, people get bummed out.

this is the type of movie i'd rather see, but then i'm different from most. that's not to say i don't enjoy an action flick every now and then, but if you're looking for an "action" film, this ain't it.
