I liked Hero for sure. But was not overwhelemed with it in the same way as I was with CTHD. I'm just a sucker for the Cho Yun Fat love story. Anyone seen House of the Flying Daggers? 120829@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Feb 2005 07:01:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/19/155043.php#comment-120587 excellent review which makes me want to watch it again - I was somewhat underwhelmed the first time, but I was also pretty distracted. Thanks Mat! I think the conceptual elements of the Matrix were what gave the effects a tangy context. Unlike most, I like all three Matrix films, though the first was undoubtedly the best 120587@blogcritics.org Sun, 20 Feb 2005 17:47:56 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/19/155043.php#comment-120585 I'm not into "Matrix", but I think "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" is truly awesome if you like Chinese martial arts. Ziyi Zhang was playing her best, unlike in "Rush Hour 2". But I would say her latest performance on "Hero" deserves the same compliment, if not even better. 120585@blogcritics.org Sun, 20 Feb 2005 17:43:50 EST
