Beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2005)

I have seen Hero four times. I love this movie. It is beautiful and is filled with twists that you won't see coming.
Hero begins with our "hero" entering the king's throne room. He has killed three deadly assassins and is summoned to the king so that the king may hear of his stories and reward him. This is where the story takes place with flashbacks telling the events that have lead to this point. There are three different perspectives that are told and the twists in them will throw you for a loop.
As much as I love this movie that is the one drawback. The different perspectives hinder us from understanding the characters because we learn something different in each perspective. The two characters that are developed the best are Broken Sword and Snow and the way the are developed is well worth it and allows the audience to forgive the no development of Sky or the little development on our "Nameless" hero.
The scenes are beautiful and this movie you can watch without the subtitles and still enjoy because the scenes and fights are absolutely stunning.
This is an amazing movie and I highly recommend it.
