   Summary: Stunning movie
This movie is such a pleasure for the eyes to watch. The cinematography, the pace, the colors, the beautiful language just captivated me. The story has some good twists in it, but it was particularly the grace that got me more than anything. But if you are wanting a fast paced action thriller then this is not for you. Make sure to watch it in the Mandarin version with English subtitles unless you understand Mandarin, as the movie just isn't the same when it is dubbed.

   Summary: Jet Li Rocks in China's Qin Kingdom!
Three different assassins, three different colors, three different points of view and three diffent and amazing duels! Does it get any better than that? Breathtaking cinematography and ballet-like fight scenes are just two of the many reasons to watch this movie. My 80-year-old mother (who hates subtitles and can't hear very well any more) loved this movie. Just when you think you understand what's happened, another point of view surfaces and you're back to square one. I love a movie where I don't see the ending coming. Historically correct? Probably not. But damn fine entertainment and isn't that what movies are about?

   Summary: Masterful and Beautiful
The cinematography in this film is breathtaking. The fight scenes are spectacular in that "people are flying around the room" sort of way. The plot twists are unexpected and interesting. Fans of movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and House of Flying Daggers would enjoy this film.

 Rating 3   Written on February 9, 2008
   Summary: Sumptious propaganda
Hero is a visually impressive production on a grand scale. The cinematography and visual effects are worth watching for themselves, as are exquisitely choreographed fight scenes (including many flying dance moves). The plot is for the most part effective (comprising three different versions of the same events) but lacks the emotional depth of "Crouching Tiger." But by far the worst element of the film is its feebly disguised Chinese propaganda, in which a tyrant is allowed to go on conquering because his destruction and war on neighbouring provinces ultimately unites China into "one land," i.e. the good of the many outway the good of the few. This is little more than a weak justification for China's contemporary geopolitical designs and sours an otherwise entertaining flick.

   Summary: A piece of junk
Besides the colorful of screen, there is nothing worth to watch.

The story is ridiculous, the kung-fu is full of fake action.

Do NOT waste your time and money. Find something else.
