Very, very disappointing.

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2005)

Okay, I just watched the movie the whole way through, after giving up about one-third in, on the first try. I don't see what is so "beautiful" about this - Sure, the scenery is great, but I can't get past the fact that the "Martial Arts" is so completely bogus. If you want martial arts, rent a Jackie Chan flick (or at least, I should say, one of the good Jackie Chan flicks.) If you want to see a movie even worse than CTHD as far as "hey, we're Chinese, we don't HAVE gravity or physics of any kind here!" goes, rent Hero. I'm not sure about the message they're trying to get across with this film - it was pretty difficult to tolerate. There was no realistic fighting at all in this movie. I hate to break it to you, folks, but people can't fly. They can't walk on water, either. Or was that supposed to be "Dueling Jesus?" :-P Plot: mediocre at best. Scenery: great Believability: dismal Please, people, even in sci-fi most people have to touch the ground every so often!
