Review of Hero (2002) by Jim M — 23 Aug 2009
China, the Warring States Period: A nameless warrior has been brought to meet the King of Qin, a powerful warlord who seeks to establish Empire over the other 5 kingdoms. Nameless has slain 3 assassins from the Kingdom of Zhao who had sworn to kill the King of Qin, thus he is permitted to approach His Majesty and recount the story of his deeds....but the King is clever and knows all is not as it seems...
Beautiful, gorgious, magnificent, awsome. With cinematography, action and characters to sweep you into a world long past this is a must see, and is much, much better then Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on every level. This is a movie to lose yourself in (the duel on the lake between Jet Li and Tony Leung was worth the price of the DVD alone, add the final scenes between Nameless and the King and its a steal). Weaving action, art both visual and musical, and the ideals of noble sacrifice, if you haven't seen it stop what your doing and grab a copy, this is defeinitly a must see.
