The fight scenes may be well choreographed...??, the camera flashed so much i hardly saw a thing. . I almost forced myself to nod off at times figuring that the sudden change in music from solemn to action would wake me. I walked away with only one thought that i liked. The king says he will not stop after he brings the country under rule. The lesson gived to him by the long drawn out telling and retelling of the scenes leading up to the anticlimax, was that there was a time to set down your sword. You then get to the end of the movie to find he erected the wall of china. mission a

big time boring....

I sincerely hope that anyone who reads the negative comments on this forum do not let it discourage them from seeing the movie. Unless you are illiterate or absolutely cannot follow subtitles, there is no vlid reason to miss out on this masterpiece. It is a richly profound experience that should not be missed because of something as trivial as, "The actors don`t speak English! *waah!*"

This is one of the most beatiful films I have ever seen.

Why do so many Asian movies end this way? I mean drama is good, but I`m getting sick of all the melodrama.

User review rating: 0 September 15, 2004

I thought Hero was kind of fake. People are flying and floating all over the place. It`s not very realisitic. The story line itself was ok but the special effects kind of sucked.

it is excellent. I love the content and expressing method.

I think that too many people in these columns misunderstand movies. One guy said he couldn`t read the titles and left. Dont worry, Resident Evil is playing just next door. I understand there isnt even talking in that movie. You will understand it clearly, no doubt. People who appreciate symbolism, art and good direction, will enjoy this movie, although its message takes some thinking.

User review rating: 0 September 13, 2004

The story line in this movie and the element are unique. The theme is not base on fight or killing. Its about doing what is right even if you are not for it

I think the only reason that i stayed in that theatre is cuz i liked the transition of colours...otherwise when i go to see i movie i like to watch not read....

User review rating: 0 September 13, 2004

What a wonderful film to watch. The colours are so vivid so exciting you want to rewind and watch scenes over and over again. And the story is very intresting you want to be there to live their lives.

SPECTACULAR!!! Absolutely loved it.What a beautiful film.

User review rating: 0 September 13, 2004

This is a wonderful film. It is neither a martial arts movie, nor an action thriller, nor anthing like those Hollywood/Hong Kong fomula movies. If you go to it looking for something like a Jackie Chan or Tom Cruise session, you will be disappointed. This is akin to opera or ballet, or a canvas of colour, but on film. It is allegorical and metaphorical. The fight scenes are not there for titillation of the viewer, but to portray an emotional story of fidelity, honour, culture and human development. It is whimsical, yet poignant. It is fantasy used to portray armed conflict as a metaphor for interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict. If you thi

it would have been way better if it was in english, we left 20 minutes into the movie because it was too hard to follow reading the subtitles continously and not being able to watch the movie

cool movie, the story makes me to think

Fight scenes were laughable. Whenever the fight scenes came on (especially the one in the swamp), you could hear a smattering of giggles all through the theatre.

Jet Li is a awesome actor and compassionate person. If he stuns people with his greatness of his moves. He doesn`t have a ego but his moves are awesome so real and wild. I`m his, I will be seeing his movie tonight I haven`t his moveies at all. Usuall I go to Jean Van Damn but Jet Li is more awesome. If this movie is based on true event them he must be doing a awesome job.

It doesn`t seem like my sorta movie but I`ll give it a try.

Jet Li Rocked in this flick !!!!!

User review rating: 0 September 08, 2004

a lot of people probably think that this movie is about peace...etc, but the problem is that in true history, the king is a tyrant. Why the story writers think this tyrant as someone that can bring peace is just mind boggling. In fact, a lot of bad things happen to the Chinese people under his tyranny after he unifies China, and his dynasty falls right after he dies, which brings China right back to civil wars and strife. Kill the tyrant probably won`t help because another will probably just come to be. But make him looks like a savior is just wrong.

Not bad.. it`s not a hugely mind-altering experience but it`s not a bad movie either. I liked this movie. :)

User review rating: 0 September 08, 2004

Great, great movie...fabulous use of colours, imageries, metaphors, & many twists & turns to get you thinking, instead of just watching one of these typical `Kung Fu` movies!! Those who fell asleep should wake up to appreciate the theme message of this movie brings to the world! Time after time, history repeats itself, NO matter what happens at the end of it, we ALL desire PEACE & HARMONY...so, think about it!!

User review rating: 0 September 07, 2004

after going over the comments, i realize that the people who didn`t like this movie basically commented on the same things - the plot, repeatitive scenes, and weird martial arts style. the plot was great, but you have to think and pay attention carefully to understand it. the repeatitive scenes was actually not repeatitive...you would realize this if you paid attention and understood the storyline. the martial arts style is totally different from the typical american style. it was extraordinary! I`ve seen a few other chinese movies from my asian friends so I know that these style are not weird, rediculous, or stupid. it is true martial a

Hero is an ecclectic interpretation of War and Peace. The story is as sharp as a double-edged sword! The choreography is stunning! The battle scenes are phenomenal! The visuals are breathtaking! The complexitity of Hero vs. Tyrant are poetically justified! There is no way to peace...peace is the way.

User review rating: 0 September 07, 2004

Overall, it had good pacing to it. The way colour was used was great to show interpretation through different characters eyes. The action scenes are better than the Matrix and you rarely see blood. A good part of it has romance for balance, so it spreads out the demographic base. I recommend viewing it.

i guess the problem with this movie is it`s one of those that u wither like or not i think it was agreat movie i loved it good job tarantieno never dissapointed me.

User review rating: 0 September 06, 2004

I think the problem most of the people have with this movie is that it is not an action movie. I thought it was a great movie, but then, I didn`t go in expecting the typical Jet Li movie. If these people did a little research about the movie before they went in they would have known that. If you`re looking for something unique and different then this movie is for you. I you want a movie where you pay for your ticket, get your popcorn and turn off your brain as soon as you sit down look elsewhere. It`s not your average caters to the common denominator Hollywood summer movie.

User review rating: 0 September 06, 2004

It`s not the complex aspects of the plot, the rich detailed scenary, or the portrayal of China`s diverse heritage that makes this movie a must see, it`s the beautifully choreographed battle scenes and the creative plot twists that make this an enjoyable movie to watch. i hugely reccommend it, especially if you are a fan of martial arts flicks.

User review rating: 0 September 06, 2004

This movie is positively sumptuous! It is like watching poetry come to life. Hero combines every kind of art we treasure, weaves it into magic and plays it out in a symphony of sound, color, movement and emotion.

User review rating: 0 September 06, 2004

It was just just awesome! The colours were staggering, the music was hauntingly beautiful, the women were gorgeous, the choreography faultless and the laws of physics were totally disregarded. Entertainment at its best! Bravo!

User review rating: 0 September 06, 2004

Saw this movie a year ago. I actually like its action better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon becuase I think CTHD`s action is too fency and flowery, and I think Jet Li`s character shows speed, power and grace at the same time. But I don`t like its story, because it doesn`t tell the whole truth. The king in this movie is considered a pretty bad king in Chinese history and his dynasty falls soon after he dies. I think it might be a political propaganda film support by Chinese government, hahahaha.

User review rating: 0 September 05, 2004

An amazingly BEAUTIFUL masterpiece...I`ve never seen a movie tell its entire story through the use of just colours. The story is very intriguing...but my favorite still is the cinematography of the entire film...I`ll say it again...BEAUTIFUL COLORS!!!!!!

The director Zhan Yi Mou had no clue what he was doing in this movie. Bad plot, not worth seeing. Don`t like Zhang Zi Yi!

User review rating: 0 September 04, 2004

This is a martial arts movie in the same genre as Hidden Tiger, Crouching Dragon & I must admit that the fight scenes (of which there were many) became somewhat repetitious after a short time. What was unexpected and real pleasure to see was the exceedingly good sequences of movement, color and sound that did not actually involve many of the fight scenes. For example, the horde of priests (inmass) stomping up the steps of the palace; the colorful leaves falling during one of the fight scenes; the multitude of gray clad warriors with red plumed headgear. And there were others: simply stunning images that impressed me much more than the main th

One of the most beautiful movies made. Outstanding cast, smart, unique story line and mind blowing action packed martial arts - what else can one ask for?

User review rating: 0 September 03, 2004

If you start daydreaming 10 mins into the movie...then it`s all relative because it all depends on your state of mind before, and during the movie...it could actually be a good thing where the movie made you think, so for a moment you entertained that thought in your head. The first time I saw this movie was two years ago, and I still think it`s a very artistic and emotional driven film.

Hero was a good movie. It gave a good history of china`s history of our land and how making four countries into one china. It had good dialogue and it had good screenplay. the direction was good where action was superb. Hero is magnificient movie of china became one it gave an excellent hostory and it was worth the 2 and half our to watch.

User review rating: 0 September 02, 2004

A little info for those who doesn`t know the Chinese history, the emperor in the movie later became the most vicious emperor in Chinese history, he burned most of the books in China and buried educated ppl alive to make sure his dystany will last; he also build the great wall and that caused thousands and thousands of ppl died during the process. So actually he should`ve killed the emperor, but that did not shown in the movie. I watched the movie 2 yrs ago, thought it was ok. I like the hidden dragon style of fighting better, more artistic; but Hero did decent job on fighting scheme as well. Didn`t enjoy it that much mainly becuz they chan

AMAZING MOVIE!! The storyline is SOLID. For those that dont think so. I have a reason. You cant read or your a bit slow. The movie is full of twists. If you get lost then you`ll be confused for the remainder of the movie. For those that left the movie, you got no patience. For those that say the muvie was a waste of time and money, I feel bad. Cuz you got no sense of taste.
