Entertaining, but ...

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2003)

The storytelling type reminded me of "Rashomon", where there were 3 types of story being told and shown to us. The 96 minutes might sound short, but it felt more that enough when you watch "Hero".
I would say that the color psychology was being used nicely though. Red for passion, blue for intellectuality and calmness, and white for neutrality and truth. There were amazing sceneries chosen to match the mood color and it worked amazingly breath taking.
SFX of the movie was equally amazing and really support the story of the movie in many ways. However, the image of each character was not strong enough. I even doubt Donnie Yen (who only appear for a very short time in the beginning of the movie) had a character at all.
Overall, I think it's a great movie and quite an entertaining one.
