While i havne't seen the first 2 i *have* to comment on the thrid one ,as a veteran kung fu movie watcher (azn friends at school have me watching far to much anime too =) i have to say the whole crouching tiger thing made me laugh.

1: walking out of the moive some kids say 'what a crock people can't walk up walls', hes obviously never seen anyone who knows kung fu. (friend of mine can run 5m up an oak tree easy)

2: The ending, did it make sense to anyone?

3: The fight scenes, while they were pretty cool (particualry that one between the two chicks, that kicked ass) wern't all *that* good compared to others i've seen..

This was a case of hollywood 'discovering' this guy/moive, it had been around for ages before its hollywood debut.......ALthough it beat the usual hollywood crap 6x over with one hand tied behind its back. Understanding these movie requires an understand of the culture as much as anything else.
