Donnie Yen please.

 

[Rentahamster]

Didn't everyone like...die at the end? I don't really remember.


It's like making Macbeth II.

 

[Chuckie]

No. The legend her boyfriend told her

Spoiler

was of a boy that jumped from a mountain and was not harmed, the ending was her doing just that. You can tell because the boy shows no grief whatsoever.

He does show grief.

 

[linsivvi]

Freaking finally. Get Zhang Ziyi on the line.

She just said she'll not do martial arts movies any more. The Grandmaster is her last one.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

He does show grief.

oh does he cry? I can't remember I guess, I don't think he tried to stop her.

 

[Chuckie]

She just said she'll not do martial arts movies any more. The Grandmaster is her last one.

Didn't Jet Li say the same thing?

 

[x-Lundz-x]

She just said she'll not do martial arts movies any more. The Grandmaster is her last one.

Until they wave that paycheck in her face.

 

[Chuckie]

oh does he cry? I can't remember I guess, I don't think he tried to stop her.

Yeah he didn't stop her. He just standing there. But he does cry a bit.

It is a bit of a weird ending though. If the Legend is true she will be with him again in the desert. Then why does he cry. Visually it also seems she floats away rather than fall to her death.
Also according to the books she will be in part 5 (this one was part 4) Which suggests she did survive. However I don't know if the movies ending follows the book ending

 

[linsivvi]

Didn't Jet Li say the same thing?

The difference is nobody wants to watch Jet Li act.

 

[zugzug]

Ang Lee = overrated

open to sequel, agree with dislike for american writer.

no casting news = me wary.

 

[linsivvi]

Ang Lee = overrated

This x10.

That said I am not interested in a sequel either.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Donnie Yen please.

This would be nice.

Although, yeah, wow. So many sequels going on elsewhere, when not for this too. Hopefully it's good.

 

[Zod the Bear]

I never asked for this.

Yep.

I'll follow the development as it goes, but...eh.

 

[bengraven]

I like Yu. I like Yu a lot. I may even love Yu.

But I wish we could get Ang back. That said, I'm excited for this and maybe now we can get good translations of all the books in the series here in the States. Yu never know.

 

[andycapps]

The first was such a perfect movie. I watched it so many times when I got it on DVD. Was one of those first movies I used to really show off surround sound on my PS2. It's probably time to rewatch this. Wonder if there's a blu-ray version.

Honestly, not sure how interested I am in a sequel. It could be great, but odds are it'll be a retcon and be horrible.

I've recently have found a love for martial arts films thanks to a friend of mine. I know Donnie Yen has been in a ton of stuff, and things I have seen like Blade 2 but I never really recognized him.

My buddy told me to watch Ip Man and I was like this guy is amazing! I have been tracking down all his films and watching them. Iron Monkey was pretty awesome. He is just a badass.

 

[Raad]

No Ang Lee, No sell.

Ang Lee is a genius and he is a key part of what made the first amazing. No need for sequel. Movie ended exactly as it needed to.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

No Ang Lee, no interest.

.

Ang Lee = overrated

Do tell.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

.



Do tell.

Maybe he means he didn't like Hulk?

 

[sleeping_dragon]

Well I guess for a sequel they could say she bounced of some rocks flew over some trees and survived that fall.

I'm OK with this.

 

[Akahige]

fuck that also why are they cashing in on this ten plus years later?

 

[destrudo]

It's not just the lack of Ang Lee, it's mainly the guy they're getting to direct hasn't really done anything very good. Unless you love Freddy vs. Jason.

 

[sega4ever]

i just read an english summery of the book this will be based on, i'm hyped.

 

[Akahige]

It's been a long time since I saw it but I remember The Bride with White Hair being good and Fearless is great.

 

[harSon]

Yuen Wo Ping is going to direct, and Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen are set to star:

[number47]

Michelle Yeoh will never age in this age of technology and health.

Michelle Yeoh will never age in this age of technology and health.

All of the age went straight to her feet

 

[equap]

fuck this shit!

no Ang Lee, no sale.

 

[harSon]

fuck this shit!

no Ang Lee, no sale.

Yo, Yuen Wo Ping is a legend in the game. He hasn't put out anything decent in a minute, but he might have another good movie up his sleeve.

 

[RiZ III]

Don't really k is what's supposed to happen in the sequels, but I hope they can get zhang zyi if her character is appearing again.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

fuck this shit!

no Ang Lee, no sale.

What about Yuen Wo Ping?

 

[FStop7]

Part of CTHD's charm is that it began at the end of a much longer saga.

This just doesn't sound good.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Ronny Yu is an excellent director. Can't wait

 

[harSon]

Ronny Yu is an excellent director. Can't wait

It seems he's not directing anymore. The current director is Yuen Wo Ping and filming is expected to start March 2014.

 

[terribletwo]

I'd watch Donnie Yen take a poop. Gonna watch the hell out of this on netflix

 

[Cow Mengde]

Warriors of Virtue had more convincing fight scenes than Crouching Tiger. The former movie was about a bunch of Kung Fu Kangaroos.

 

[KittyKittyBangBang]

It will never recapture the magic of the first one, no matter how good it turns out to be.

Agreed, It just came out at the right time for me. Magical

That said, am definitely looking forward to seeing what the sequel has in store

 

[tri_willy]

donnie yen aye? i might just consider this...
