I found HoFD to be less of an action movie and more of an emotion based fantasy sequence. I like such sequences so I liked the movie. I thought it was very creative with the way in which the director shows that on one side there is a love that has lasted three years of sacrifice from a man, while on the other side the woman falls for just three days of care. It's up for grabs as to which is more true, but it was a very deep concept and IMHO the director truly did a wonderful job trying to portray such a concept.
On the contrary, CTHD was more of an action and less of a romance saga. Both films had action and romance but I found the action to be more pronounced in CTHD and the romance to be more pronounced in HoFD.
Good movies both though
.. It just takes a while to really understand the deeper message in them.
