I didn't like the gravity defying martial art, but the rest of the movie was brilliant and the sets were beautiful.
Ziyi Zhang is not bad to look at either. If you like her, watch the movies 'The Road Home' or 'Memoirs of a Geisha'; They're both good!
Take care all,

thanks.
P.S Zhang Ziyi is rules.
Yimou Zhang has created a vibrant masterpiece of Hong Kong style action. The story, acting, and fight sequences are phenomenal. Jet Li and Maggie Cheung lead wonderful roles and the movie throws curveball after curveball up to it's surprise ending.
It is unfortunate that Quentin Tarantino had to slap his name on it, simply for calling attention to it and doing nothing else even remotely related to the movie, but it is nice to see that someone has brought it to the mainsteam so that more people can appreciate it.
