But those are such trite comments about "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". For example, the comments using descriptives such as "gorgeous", "wonderful", and "beautifully". True Chinese martial arts films aren't about any of that. They're strictly about, frankly, ninjas flipping out and kicking people's asses, with extreme and swift violence of action. CTHD is yet another product that has been sugar coated and stripped of all the genre essence from which it came, not to mention the stereotypical condescendence smothered throughout the movie. It's no wonder that Chinese who are keen on Chinese martial arts films find Crouching Tiger wholly uninteresting.
