Garbage

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2004)

I acquired the movie Hero on a vacation to San Fransisco, where I encountered a Chinese DVD store and found it ON sale for $10 on DVD. I was initially shocked! A movie which will be released in theatres in a month, on dvd, FOR 10 DOLLARS!!!!! I snatched that movie faster than you can say `Orange Chicken'. So I brought the movie home and watched it. I was impressed at some of the battle scenes during the movie. I waited until the credits where over and then I wiped the confused look off of my face and decided that it was a bad movie.
WHY HERO WAS A BAD MOVIE: 1. Movie has only major characters and no minor characters, the movie only employed 7 actors, and the Chinese army 2. Too unreal for me, Crouching Tiger was pushing my limit of Chinese flight while sword fighting, but this movie went way over the line. 3. How the movie was made chronologically, Just garbage. Quentin Tarentino tends to morph the space time continuum with his movies but Hero goes far over the edge by showing you scenes that don't have anything to do with the true plot of the movie!. 4. The moral of the movie. Basically the moral is that if you get revenge you only make things worse. 5. Again I say garbage, for a good reason to. Because that's where this new DVD is currently located in my TV room, In the garbage. (AF rating 57% out of 100) Grade F

+ good battle scenes + Go Chinese Archers (So cool) + Jet Lee!!!! -	Bad storyline -	Bad moral -	Slow moving -	After the movie you leave with a feeling of disgust in your mouth, like you just threw-up spaghetti
