What were they thinking with the American Trailer?

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2004)

Firstly, I love everything about this film - the music and cinematography especially. Ying xiong is a clear example of when a movie truly becomes art. My friend showed it to me from his DVD imported from Hong Kong, and I went out to buy it for myself the following day.
I was pretty excited to hear it was coming overseas, a little nervous they would chop it up, but excited nonetheless. Now that I've seen the trailer for the U.S. release, my fears seem validated.
1. The trailer gave away pretty big spoilers almost immediately. 2. The way it described the three assassins was entirely inaccurate, indicating that they worked for the emperor.
This is a great film that everyone should see, but those that see it based solely on the weight of the trailer will be expecting a much different movie than Hero.
