the Best HK movie I've seen

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2002)

I've read with interest some comments relating to CTHD, mainly that its overrated and leans too much toward fantasy. Both of these points, IMO, are undeserved. Of the four HK Movies i've seen recently, Magnificent Warriors, Once upon a time in China and the Bride with White Hair and, of course, CTHD, the former is the one i was most impressed by. Not having watched many HK movies in recent years (the odd Jackie Chan flick, mainly) CTHD pickled my fancy, and led to me buying or renting the aformentioned movies, and while they were certainly watchable, (esp TBwWH), I didn't get the same thrill i got, as when I watched CTHD (4 times, now).
