I'm not a movie snob but if you have seen a hundred of HK martial art movies you will realize that CT-HT is SOOOO DARN ORDINARY with the cliché-ending scene, Choreography that actually no better than a HK B grade martial art movie (Fighting on the the bamboo tree that look very clumsy , Flying on the water that look very slingy, And what so exciting about running on the wall. (This trick has been done for so many years in HK martial art movie, And it seem to do better than this movie as well.)
It actually a true walk-out material. How slow is the story line there is no chemistry between two leading at all.(Chow-Yun-Fat vs Yow) may be they've hide it too deep.
The plot also like what we used to say in HK movie industry. "we have one plot but we can make a thousand movies". And belive it or not the Great CT-HT does borrow this plot too!!!
I don't know why it get praise so high up than it suppose to be,There are plenty of HK movie out there that suppose to be better than this movie.
For me CT-HT is a "Sense and Sensibility" that just took place in Chai-na instead.
