Review
Hero is the story of the ultimate assassins in feudal China in a rebellion against the Emperor.
In the style of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero takes martial arts to a high art with amazing sets, beautiful choreography, and fascinating mythology.
The most notable element of this film is the visual presentation. The sets are huge, gorgeous, and filled with color. The incredible use of color is what makes this film unique. This film’s plot is driven by a series of flashbacks with differing versions. Each version of the flashbacks cleverly uses different color schemes to hold the interest of the viewer and clarify the details of this complex tale.
