The guy who wrote the other review is a fool.

You're like my friend who can seem to find humor in anything.
"Hero" tlls the story of an unamed individual who takes it upon himself to stop a tyrranical ruler who aspires to control all China. In the past the three greatest assassins tried and failed to kill the King, but the new Hero seems confident he will succeed where they failed.
SPOILERS!!!!!!!
All people who see the King must stay 100 paces away(to avoid assassination attempts.) However the King has decreed that anyone who can kill the assassins who tried to kill him will be alowed to move 20 paces closer per dead assassin. In order for Hero to get close enough for the killing blow he must take out the other assassins. This movie is told in flashback, showing how each assassin was defeated. (There is one part where Hero is guarding a school from an army of the King's archers. During this sequence Hero blocks about A HUNDRED THOUSAND arrows!!!) The end is very surprising and the movie is well worth it.
