Jet Li's "Hero"

Hero got rrrrrrrrrrreally bad reviews in China, mostly because of the director. The imagery... well..... seems a bit too fake to me. So I didn't like it.

Welcome both to A2K!

This has been discussed not long ago:

As you will find out, this is not Jet Li's "Hero," but directed by the same person who filmed "Raise the Red Lantern" and not favored by the Chinese communist government so it would be expected it would not receive good reviews there.

agree to Rosslyn.

well this film just present the lost-way china's culture state nowadays

I thought HERO was terrific. I don't understand the criticisms
on this thread. If you don't want to watch movies with subtitles, that's YOUR problem--not the fault of the movie. I
thought it was gorgeously filmed, cleverly structured, all in all one of the most memorable films I've seen this year. But I suppose tastes will always differ!

Hey, welcome back again! Sorry you had problems with the site going down for a server upgrade and losing some of your posts. I agree, larry -- "Hero" was aesthetically superior to nearly all Hollywood offerings of historic action films. I am still more impressed with the production design of "Raise the Red Lantern" which drew me into that time and place with its atmospheric structure but I was really entertained by "Hero."

Thanks, Lightwizard! I consider it an honor to have you agree with me.

You mean it's not an honor if I disagree?
