Definitely worth the watch.

Its quiet themes and timeless messages coupled with the gorgeous backdrop of the bamboo forests, the mountains and deserts of China were fantastic. I can even forgive Director Ang Lee for his work on "The Hulk" because of the beauty of CTHD. I will go see Hero in order to compare the wire fu, the choreography and the effects; nobody can top Chow Yun Fat however, and Michelle Yeouh was excellent as well. Hero seems like it has a lot to live up to. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is one of the best films to come along in many years.
