It is a visually stunning movie.

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2004)

By far, Hero is one of the best movies to come out of Chinese cinema. It is too easy to compare it to Crouching Tiger Hidden dragon. It is not the same at all. The story in Hero is simple, but I personally enjoyed the way it was told. The colors are impressive and have meaning in Chinese culture. I have been a kung-fu, samurai, asian cinema junkie for awhile and Hero hit the spot. I don't want to reveal too much, but to give you an idea if this movie is good or not: I got this movie in LA a year ago, all my friends, roommates, etc..in socal wanted this movie after they watched it. Now, I live in VA and everyone here who has seen it wants Hero. Spend the money and see it when it hits the US. Enough said.
