Does anybody not see movies anymore for the sheer enjoyment of letting the "everyday" slide into the backround for a couple of hours? Geez guys, I liked Battlefield Earth... Movies were created to take you away from the everyday grind of reality... I'll watch anything from an old B movie to Godzilla, to anime to pretty much anything else.... Do I like "deep" movies, sure, Trainspotting was a great movie, but do I want to be reminded of the tragedies of life etc... not all the time, so a mindless movie filled with philisophical drivel is excellent fodder for my senses.....

Crouching Tiger could have stood on it's own without any action scenes at all. The story itself was excellent.
