Hero

"Beautiful film."

"This is a highly artistic and poetic movie. The fight scenes are orchestrated like an opera with many harmonious instruments. The plot is told mostly in flashbacks, and the use of colour in each set, whether in clothing or background, keeps the artistic flow of the story. The plot is also simple, but still layered enough to hold the watchers attention. I just wish I could have watched it in the original language with English subtitles. The English dubbed version is somewhat distracting."

"Beautiful cinematography and great storytelling. I remember reading somewhere that Quentin Tarantino had a hand in getting this movie brought over to American audiences, and I'm glad he did. Better than Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon IMO by far. 8.5/10"

"One of the most aesthetically pleasing films ever made. Gorgeous cinematography, choreography, and soundtrack."

"Absolutely beautiful, I love films that really lean into the art of cinematography. Everything is vibrant, the action scenes are well done. If you like house of flying daggers, or anything by tarsem Singh you'll like this."

"very cool (and unusual) use of color in Hero"

"This might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen. The fight scenes were so fake. The entire time was melodramatic and not in a fun way. The ending was stupid as ****. I did not enjoy myself at all. "

"Visually stunning"

"The most beautiful movie you will ever watch "

"Star studded cast with brilliant plot, cinematography from China's best director Zhang Yimou."
