Putting Tony and Maggie in the same shot is just magical. Art design and cinematography were excellent. Well directed but the hint of political influence was off putting. Still a good movie.

Wow, this film is just… excellent. Great visuals, and a great message. You think you’re gonna watch an action movie and you get art, music, perspective with the action serving as a compliment, a delivery device. The vibe of this entire film really culminates at the end and it’s gonna stick with me for a while.

The photography and aesthetics are dazzling, the big-scale setpieces are impressive (the sequence with the arrows in particular is fantastic), and some of the fight scenes (e.g. the lake one) are actually all about storytelling and characters. In truth, it's a very stylized film (the wire work gets a bit much and even the plot becomes a tad gimmicky), which can be slightly off-putting, but the craftsmanship on display is undeniable and is paired with interesting themes and a touching conclusion.

A master piece… period. No need to describe just rush to watch this movie. Watched already 10 times

Love the colorful Rashomon-style narrative. The anticlimactic ending, while initially frustrating, ultimately makes sense given the character's choices.

I recently watched a fantastic movie starring Jet Li, and it was a work of art. The martial arts scenes were particularly special, not like the usual stuff you see all the time. The atmosphere in those scenes was exciting, and the choreography was more like art than crude action. Although the laws of physics may have been ignored, the story was still deep, meaningful, dramatic, and captivating. It even made me cry a little. Overall, it was an excellent movie that I highly recommend.

Great movie, Jet Li at his finest!

Clever plot, beautifully shot - thanks a lot, think Blobbo!

For all of Hero's striking use of colour and landscapes, the drama, characters and ideas are not sufficiently compelling enough to sustain the martial arts. It's easy on the eyes, but too segmented to gather much momentum and too art-directed to convey much urgency. However, I can't deny the result. Both thrilling and thoughtful, offering imaginative and meticulous set pieces as it considers questions of loyalty and the individual's role in history. It is not so much a historical epic as a kind of highly determined ballet: dreamy with bloodless violence, relying less on shades of character than on magnificence of gesture. For all my grievances, the performances of its leads are captivating, Dun Tan's score mesmerising, while Christopher Doyle's photography is overwhelmingly stimulating. Hero is a dazzlingly lensed, highly stylized meditation on heroism even if its ideology is confused.

What a gorgeous, elegant example of filmmaking within the Wuxia sub-genre of martial arts in ancient China. The visual work is spectacular in scale and intensity of colors chosen. There's the elaborate outfits worn by the throngs of soldiers in the king's army, the shades of red at the end of Snow and Moon's battle in one version of the story, the sheer vibrant intensity of the solid colored clothing each character wears. The format is very fitting as the scenarios played out ultimately have the same basic ending while leading to an ultimate quandry- give a life or take a life?- for the greater good of the nation's people. The six principal characters all are given vivid life on the screen as the actors convey them as figures with real intellect, principal, passion, skill, and strong emotion. Great work by director Zhang Yimou in his use of atmosphere, tone and fantasy to bring out the themes and ideas here of thinking of the greater good over one's self-interest, traitor or patriot, and the inherent dangers of tyranny compared to efforts fo unity, and how to tell one from the other. Stellar production design all around here. The cinematography by the great Christopher Doyle is bonkers brilliant. The editing is top notch. And the costume design crushes it. 3.8 stars, but 4 stars for the genre

A colourful and beautifully shot action movie. Some of the action scenes are some of the finest seen on the the big scene in one of the best wuixa movies made.

História,lutas e belicimas atuações.

A bizarre tale that is surpassed by better comparative films.
