A beautiful film beautifully made and beautifully acted

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2004)

Is it just me or have Asian film makers really hit a rich vain of film gold recently ?
I'd read some good reviews for "Hero" and I decided to take the plunge and bought it on region free DVD. I'm very happy to say that I'm glad I did. I enjoyed this film more than the combined past dozen Hollywood formulaic offerings that I've also bought and watched.
I wish film makers in Britain good make something as fantastic as this film and take a break from ROM-COMS, or maybe we just don't have the imagination and flair?
I'd recommended "Hero" to anyone - just make sure you watch the region free DVD edition that includes the stunning DTS ES soundtrack, combine that with the stunning cinematography and you really will be blown away by this film.

To sum up - Another top notch Asian film, lets hope they keep them coming !
