This link directs us towards a review by Joshua Tyler. He seems to not really enjoy this movie refering to it as, "...outlandish mythology..." and comparing to "...the cheesiest of Romance novels..." in the United States. Tyler seems to be overly critical of all the details that Zhang Yimou added to create dramatic effect. He reflects on how Hero is to compare with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but he states that, " Hero is trying for something a little deeper that in some ways just never connects." The rest of this review continues on this type of criticism with Joshua Tyler pointing out all the flaws, the simplistic plot, and the overall film being an "idealized dream."
