Hero, visually spectacular but slight on story


This review by Nev Pierce describes the film as being "slightly unsatisfying." He talks about the film being to communist and simply a Chinese take on "whiz-bang" Western cinema. He does recognize that there is some good acting present but believes the story is predictable enough that subtitles aren't needed. I disagree with his stance and think that the choreography and three different story lines adds a great deal of suspense and the color schemes are also simply amazing. Pierce believes that if you liked Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon then you would defiantly enjoy this film. This gives me the feeling that he is not a fan a Chinese cinema.
