The fight scenes were excellent, but I wasn't impressed by the way they were shot. The camera should just have stayed fixed on the fighters, allowing us to see the great technical fighting more closely.
I thought the story was sound, but a bit weak and ultimately unrewarding. The end was inevitable, but it seemed a bit rushed.
I own the DVD and still rate it as one of my top 20 films, but i was expecting so much more...
What does anyone else think about the film??

You made the basic flaw that most make - CTHD isn't a martial arts film at all - it is a love story that features a couple of magnificant fight sequences (oh, and your the camera should stay still comment is verging on the idiotic). If you watch CTHD expecting out and out fighting you'll be very dissappointed as it is really a reasonable tired love story told in a tried and tested way.

If any film is overrated then look no further than the Matrix - Great film I know but please lets stop hearing about it!!
Come on, somebody say The Matrix is the best film ever so I can beat him.
