When Hero was released, it was the highest grossing film in China's history. Yimou Zhang uses modern effects to create an awesome "chop-socky" epic with an emotional storyline. According to the author Andrew Wright, Hero is very closely compared to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero is special because Zhang embraces each scene with a special Technicolor technique. Unfortunately, there were some problems during the release. Wright states that because of import DVD's and downloadable bootlegs, there is a good chance that anyone interested in this genre will already have a copy. Piracy hurt Hero's box office income.
