The best movie of the year? No! The most overrated movie of the year...Yes!!

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2001)

This movie is extremely overrated. I can't understand how it could possibly have climbed so high in the IMDB movie ranks. The highly regarded action sequences were usually met with laughter and giggles by the audience thanks to the exaggerated and overdone flying and superhuman jumping. The story was OK...it certainly wasn't worthy of the praise bestowed upon it by the critics. The story lacked dynamics...it seemed pretty convenient that the fight scenes came along to salvage a dip in the storyline. The characters evolved very little through the movie. The emotional scenes didn't grab me..or the audience since it was evident that most people were laughing at the ridiculous nature of the fighting. I can't say anything more specific without giving away things. Basically, this is how I feel about CTHD: Action scenes B-, Story C-, Acting B, Music B+...Overall entertainment value B-/C+. I think I'd rather see a Jackie Chan movie than CTHD again. Now that's where you turn for great martial arts action...it's REAL! CTHD really didn't live up to the hype. It certainly does NOT deserve to be in the Top #250 of IMDB's movie rankings, which should be filled with the likes of su ch movies as Godfather, It's a Wonderful Life, Citizen Kane, Braveheart, Gandhi, Schindler's List, etc...etc...How in the world did CTHD get up there?? Ridiculous!!
