Visually probably one of the most spectacular films ever made. This one is about a group of assassins that plan on killing the emperor and their subsequent road to ruin. It stars some of the biggest names of Asian cinema (Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, the omnipresent Zhang Ziyi) and was one of the biggest grossing films in Chinese history, plus it has Quentin Tarantino's ceal of approval so you know, quali'ty...

I absolutely adore this movie! I could watch it over and over again.
Here are some of my favorites:
Jet Li is a just awesome to watch fighting, and the story, to me, was in some places so heart-breaking. The everlasting friendship between Huo Yuanjia and Nong Jinsun was touching, and the respect that Yuanjia and Japanese fighter Tanaka had for each other made me long for the time when people actually respected and honored each other, instead of being completely self-gratifying. It's a must see!
These movies were great fun, an awesome mix of crazy humor and kick-ass fight scenes, with a touch of drama and romance thrown in. I loved 'em!
