My Review: HERO

When i go to the movies, i have a rule... a little system i use.

What do i expect to get out of the movie, and what is my "moneys worthy" value.

HERO: Staring Jet Li failed me in this regard.


Now I expected good martial arts action, what i recived was SUBpar.

its not that it wasn't good. it was just that it was to ordinary within the genre. This was according what i have read the most expensive movie made in china

you couldn't tell by the fight sequences

next the plot

ok we build you up on a series of flashbacks.....

oh wait, thats all a lie

so here is the emperor's theory

oh wait thats not true either

all these different versions of the story to tell the emperor the highest form of being a warrior was to put down your sword.

(and the person who taught Jet Li's charecter this leason got killed because he picked up a sword again)

does the emperor who we see fighting one of the other assasins earlier in the film try to defend his life?

no he lets Jet Li's chareter try to kill him and he lets him live for "the greater good."

it was the zuxxorz
