Great martial arts fight scenes. A compelling story - actually quite touching.

It is far superior to 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' - it's a masterpiece.

4. that second picture, with the chick in the red dress,
that fight scene was my absolute favorite part of the movie. I'd never seen any fight like that before - the imagery was just so stunning.

6. yes it is astonishingly beautiful!
with many interesting meanings...

don't agree it is that superior to CTHD, more of a difference in style and narrative.

8. I didn't really get into CTHD - maybe cuz when
I saw it I was on a first date with a girl I totally dug - but I got kinda lost in the story...I couldn't follow it.

But in 'Hero' the fight scene on the lake also stands out...

7. It's sounds terrific.
Hopefully, I will get to see it soon. I'm so busy with work. Little time is left for theater trips.
