A Martial Arts Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2004)

Hero was an excellent, thrilling movie. I hate the use the cliché "visually stunning" but in this case it was warranted. The martial arts sequences are second to none. Nothing less of enthralling can be used to describe the swordplay that is even better than the Matrix Reloaded. In between the well crafted fight scenes is a tale told so eloquently through flashback sequences of events.
To date, this is Jet Li's finest performance. Perhaps even an Oscar contender for best cinematography.
You will be so enthralled in this movie that even you will forget about the subtitles. A must see for any martial arts or fan of well made films.
