I watched House of Flying Daggers when it was released in Hong Kong. I found it pretty good. I had to watch it all in Mandarin with no English subtitles. I can't really understand Mandarin, so I had to take what I can understand and read what I can't. It's a good thing I can read some Chinese too.
Everyone likes Zhang Ziyi! I think she's okay. I basically watched it because of Andy Lau (he played Leo), my most favourite actor
. Gooo Andy Lau!!
I noticed they made a mistake in the commercial. They said the director was the same as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero...but, like Chanel said earlier, Hero and House of Flying Daggers are directed by Zhang Yimou and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is by Ang Lee...
I think the next Chinese movie to come to western theaters is Infernal Affairs. My favourite movie! ^_^
