People devise an intricate plot to kill a ruthless king. There's a love story. Stuff is not what it seems. Arrows fly. Thats all you need to know about this film.

Rating: 3/10 (6 June 2005)

This film looks really nice. After that, there's nothing else to look forward to. Full of nonsense, drawn out, and cheesy. Wanted to see a war-action flick, and instead got a lesson in calligraphy. Don't waste your time.
If you compare this to Crouching Tiger HD, it just doesn't stand up. Unlike CTHD, in Hero you don't care about the characters. I found myself wishing death on all of them. This film was just an attempt to make money off of CTHD coattails.
In my opinion, don't watch this movie and never subject anyone you care about to it. You'd be better off watching an infomercial. And forget what TedG said, what a wannabe film critic fake film student retard.
