One of the most amazing films I have ever seen

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2003)

"Hero" is quite simply one of the best films to ever come out of Asia, and is stunning in every way. I can only pray that when released to theaters in America, Miramax does not cut the film down for Western audiences. The story unwinds beautifully and is accented by the amazing fight sequences. Lots of special effects are used to highlight the fights, but the effects are never over-done or ridiculous. Jet Li is really allowed to shine in terms of his skills as a martial artist and as an actor. The grand scale and epic backdrop of the film is so beautiful I found my jaw dropping at sight of the some of the cinematography. If you don't have the means to purchase the chinese DVD, the film will soon be released to America... hopefully in its original version.
