Review of Hero (2012) by Shawn T — 19 Jun 2012

(2002) Hero.
(In Mandarin with English subtitles).
ACTION/ ART HOUSE.
After the success of "Crouching Tiger..." in which actor Jet Li personally turned down, he decided to make amends by starring in this one that's similar to it directed by Zhang Yimou because of it's serious artistic overtones using the Chinese warlords as kind of a backdrop. Picturesque looking movie with very serious dramatic situations which i'm not too much a fan since they tend to overshadow the actual point of the storyline. Anyways saw this one at the theatre to see Jet Li in action but the fighting is less effective and less enjoyable than say "Fist Of Legend", or "Fong Sai- Yuk" and his much popular "Once Upon A Time In China" movies to name a few.
Footnote: This film has multiple endings depending on what country it's been watched.
2.5 out of 4.
