A pure delight to watch

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2005)

This movie was the best movie I have seen in a very long time. It was a masterpiece of art and action and cinematography. The storyline was excellent and the action was such an added bonus. Stunningly beautiful is the only way to describe this film with it's use of bold splashes of color, the uses of symbolism and the locations used are simply visions of beauty. The storyline doesn't get tangled and twisted up between the powerful and highly detailed action sequences, everything flows so beautifully throughout this movie. The acting is superb with pure emotion colliding onto the screen, nothing in this movie overpowers it or understates it. The action scenes are very tasty morsels. I've never seen martial art moves like the ones in this movie. They are meticulously thought out and so well choreographed. Like I said before, everything just flows so well in this movie. I purchased Hero on a whim and I am so thankful I did. I have never seen such a beautiful movie in all my life, the scenery, the colors, the story, the acting, the action. This is a must see!!!
