The more I watch it the better I like it

Rating: 9/10 (9 August 2001)

I didn't really know what to expect when I went to see this film and at first it was difficult to understand what's going on. There are no clues that I could see by which the story can be dated,it probably doesn't matter but usually I like to know whether we're talking ancient history or something much more recent.
Then I realised it doesn't matter in this film. The timelessness is really part of the skill which went into making CTHD. It's meant to be that way. You can read it any way you want. When it comes to the martial arts sequences, especially those with Michelle Yeoh and Ziang Ziying ( sorry if I've spelled her name wrong ) well, they're just amazing, Who cares about the laws of gravity and motion when you're watching something like this ? If you're hung up about the physics, you've missed the point of the film.
I liked CTHD enough to buy it on VCDs and every time I watch it I like it better than before. It's a super film and let's have more like it.
