Airy Fairy piece of exaggerated artwork!

Rating: 3/10 (22 October 2004)

Despite not being a great fan of CTHD i went along to see HERO with reasonably high hopes but sadly i was left cold once again by another airy fairy piece of exaggerated artwork from the east which is lapped up by eager and easy to please audiences in the west.Sure the cinematography was beautiful and the fight scenes were well choreographed but this certainly does not equate to to a good film. I found it all quite uninvolving to be brutally honest DULL. The thing which really turned me off this movie though was the blatant propaganda.I had heard talk of this before id went along to see it but had dismissed it as the insane ramblings of the limp wristed "pc brigade". On this occasion though i'm afraid i'd have to agree with them. The "our land" message at the end was pretty damn scary.Basically if you don't love your government you will be crushed.I left feeling like id just watched a party political broadcast by the Chinese COMMUNIST PARTY.
