Movie Reviews of Hero [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: A Waste Of 99 Minutes Of Life.
Summary: 1 Stars

Scenario and showmanship are good and entertaining, if you can overlook that people walk on water, walls, and fly around. The storyline is schizophrenic and nonsensical. I got frustrated waiting for an end that took too long to come.
SPOILER ALERT:
No sequel here, everybody dies. Some several times.

Summary of Hero [Blu-ray]

Director Zhang Yimou brings the sumptuous visual style of his previous films (Raise the Red Lantern, Shanghai Triad) to the high-kicking kung fu genre. A nameless warrior (Jet Li, Romeo Must Die, Once Upon a Time in China) arrives at an emperor's palace with three weapons, each belonging to a famous assassin who had sworn to kill the emperor. As the nameless man spins out his story--and the emperor presents his own interpretation of what might really have happened--each episode is drenched in red, blue, white or another dominant color. Hero combines sweeping cinematography and superb performances from the cream of the Hong Kong cinema (Maggie Cheung, Irma Vep, Comrades: Almost a Love Story; Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, In the Mood for Love, Hard Boiled; and Zhang Ziyi, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). The result is stunning, a dazzling action movie with an emotional richness that deepens with every step. --Bret Fetzer
