It was ok
I bought this because I couldn't find it anywhere else at the time and didn't want to wait to see it. It was alright, nothing to write home about. In hindsight, I guess I could've waited to rent it.

The good and the bad
The good:Beautiful cinematography, interesting plot, good acting.The bad:This movie is way too stylized. Too much slow motion and special effects. The fight scenes are so scripted they look like ballet, not fights. And the last time I checked, humans can't fly.If you can totally check your...

A profound philosophical story about the relationship between power and violence
"Hero" is a visually stunning and philosophically profound parable on the relationship between violence and power. It is one of the very few movies that achieves a remarkable fusion between the philosophical ideas underlying the narrative and the visual language that is used to recreate it before...

Hero
My thoughts on the movie that has not already been shared:1) The original movie with the subtitles (Far East version)was edited for Western distribution (aka Quentin Tarantino)and all important Chinese character which gave the tie-infor movie was re subtitle and really threw the meaning way...

Yimou Zhang - what else?
As I read the others reviews - very accurated - and do not dare to say more about this " another-masterpiece " from the master Zhang Yimou. I will just say that I saw it at the movie. That I had one copy, that some friend borrowed and I could not ' not-have ' - one copy to review and review.No. I...

Surprisingly good despite the hype
Hero genuinely impressed me, much to my surprise - I'm not a fan of the humourlessly one-note Jet Li, who has always struck me as a character from Mystery Men who didn't make the final cut (useless `super' power - the ability to wave a flagpole around very, very fast) and after all the fuss made...

Visual Poetry and Martial Arts Perfection for fanboys and filmsnobs, alike. . .
First off, it is important to note that this version is the shorter, American version. While some of the changes were subtle, they do take away from what I consider to be a flawless film. For instance, the translation of Huang Di in this version is 'Our Land'. And while that seems nice, the...

Very creative film.
This is a very artistically creative film. There is a great number of archetypal characterization and a soupcon of historical connection to the joining of the various Chinese states under a centralized Emperor. Jet Li, of course, brings a strong sense of emotional enactment into his role as the...
