I bought this movie at the same time as crouching Tiger hidden Dragon which I watched first because of all the hype around it. CTHD left a bitter impression on me but it was not too bad. (Rate it 6.5/10)
Now this one!
Mesmerizing, enthralling, spectacular, stunning, sublime, powerful, dazzling, moving...pick your word. This movie is everything a masterpiece should be. Impeccable on all levels. It's the type of movie that makes me go Wow! And the cast! Andy Lau is becoming one of my favorite dudes out there. Ziyi Zhang and Takeshi Kaneshiro were perfect. Again, Wow! It took everything for me to pause it to get a drink so much It's great. I wish it was longer too so I could stay hidden behind those tall bamboo trees and see a little more of this beautiful spectacle. Instant favourite. 10/10

I never understood the esteem in which CTHD is held.
Wo hu cang long (2000) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon . 6/10 from me.

Just like you I definitely prefer
Shi mian mai fu (2004) House of Flying Daggers . 8/10 from me.
