Ang Lee's film was perfect and doesn't really need a sequel.
Yuen Woo Ping will have some big shoes to fill.

I saw the movie when it came out and I can't remember anything that happened in it. If I watched a sequel I bet I'd just be totally confused the whole time.
The sequels were supposed to be made years ago. They are part of a book series

Will check it out.
No, just because the movie is loosely based upon the forth novel in a series doesn't mean there were plans to make a sequel before this, Ang Lee made the film to stand alone. This movie seems to be Harvey Weinstein (for some odd reason) cashing in on the success of movie from over a decade ago.

And here we all thought Sin City 2 was a little late to the party...

Cool. I hope
. I know that's not going to happen though.
Chow Yun-fat's character magically comes back. I always thought it was BS that he died

Ho ho holy shit yes.
Wow, that movie. Feels like forever since I saw it, (well 15 years, it was hell of a long time), I remember it blowing my mind. I didnt really watch that many asian movies at the time, and I was in my teens, so it was like the perfect storm. I remember having a huge crush on the Zhang Ziyi during those days, and then seeing her later in Rush Hour 2. Mmmmhm good. It was back in the days of shitty dvd rips, and I remember someone actually burned it to a blank CD and gave it to me, and I was shocked at the high quality of the actual rip, was almost like a real dvd.
Since this movie is coming out simultanously on the big screen and Netflix, does this mark the beginning of the end for movie theatres as we know them? Or will Netflix´s plan leave the traditional movie distribution model unaffected?
Are there any studies that shed light on the question whether movie goers prefer their own four walls to the cinema? What would happen if they were given the option to watch the latest movies at home?
Seeing how the Netflix model shaked the TV industry, I ask myself if Netflix can accomplish the same for the traditional cinema. From a consumer standpoint I would guess that more options = good.

1st one was terrible.
A random old youtube kung fu flick is better.

Yep this just feels like netflix buying a brand to get a foothold in china.
No Ang Lee means it will just be another wire fu film.

Sure, why not?
It might be good.

That would make sense for them to do.
On the other hand, the Netflix Originals branding is quickly becoming a misnomer, when a lot of the shows with that label are simply foreign shows for which they've later nabbed exclusive US distribution. That's really giving the wrong impression.

Sequel. Singular. CTHD is based on the 4th book in the series of 5, and the film works very well in being a stand alone entity despite being an adaptation.

Nope, even according to just that standard. The fact that each character can also be believably read through a lens of Confucian morality (all of the characters experience a degree of disharmony in their lives that results in the tragic events of the plot), elevates it a bit beyond the standard 'martial arts' movie. In fact I always thought that categorization was kind of misleading in this case since it also does a fair deal more than that.
I'm just making a guess really with everything I've read so far about this movie, I'd like to be pleasantly surprised and the movie not to be in English but you'll should prepare for the worst.
