"HERO" is atypical of the Hollywood`s productions. It is about...the good of ONE who sacrifices worthy for the good of ALL, and that his vengence can be forgotten, the Emperor`s past can be forgiven, and yet be able to share a common vision towards a common goal, and, that is, having the PEACE & HARMONY for all to enjoy in their kingdom. Those who DON`T appreciate this movie, you are watching the WRONG one!
This is not only an action movie, the idea I got from it, who is HERO? The king, he is the real hero.
Not a typical Jet Li or Jacky Chan kung fu movie. The whole movie is in chinese with english subtitles. It`s more of a piece of art than a commercial movie. The use of color and scene are absolutly fabulous.
The best movie ever~~~~~~~~! See it and enjoy it~!
Not everybody will love this movie. Those who are expecting blood-sheds and heavy fighting please go to blockbuster and rent "Kill Bill Vol.1". The use of color in different scene is a very unique idea I must say and the story line is simply splendid. This movie is for those who enjoys "Kill Bill vol.2" because of its story line not coz of its acting.
this movie was a waste of money, bad acting,boring,and to much along the fantasy stuff.plus it lost me so much didnt have a clue what was going on.
HERO is the most stunningly beautiful movie that I have ever seen!
During the first quarter of the movie, I was considering leaving, but then the twists started. It was kind of cool the way they were able to switch it up so many times. However, I still did not like the movie very much. The acting was sub-par, and while some of the fight scenes were cool, all of them were too short. They also didn`t keep some of the subtitles up as long as they should have. Anyways, final verdict, the critics will love it, the general public hate it.
The true story was twisted, His heroic was not about what happen between him and the King, but to die for promise he has made. The Hero has been a famous Chinese legend about the Honor. About the man who was willing to return the favor even with his live. The story present in this HERO Movie has given the audiences the felling "It is OK to have a dictator to run a country for the shake of peace". It has also given the audiences the felling ”it is OK for dictator run communist countries to exist for the shake of peace”. For the message embedded in the movie, I vote 1. For the rest, it should earn 5. QN
This movie, HERO, is the BEST in the West, from the Far East !! Nameless (Jet LI) did the right thing by ** spoiler removed **. The Emperor did the great thing by ** spoiler removed **.
