	Hero - Rotten Tomatoes
		There are interesting questions about what constitutes true heroism in the aptly named Hero but it's the aesthetic splendor and weird kineticism that you remember.
		It's not too much to say that Hero is one of the most ravishing spectacles the movies have given us.
		From beginning to end, Hero is a painting in motion, its fight scenes a ballet with blades.

	Hero Movie - The Hollywood News
		Hero is a glorious work of visual splendor and after watching it, I'm really surprised Miramax didn't release it sooner.
		The Kill Bill director was so in love with Hero that he even suggested the studio put his name on it so that it might give the movie the proper push it deserves.
		Hero moves at a quick pace, and features dozens of stunning fight sequences, but it's also brimming with romance and drama, and that above all takes this beautiful piece of work to a higher level.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Hero Movie Review
		Hero is apparently the single most pirated film in history, and it's not hard to see why.
		Hero actually uses it as a key element of its plot structure, which develops through a Rashomon-like series of flashbacks, memories, and shifting perceptions.
		We're never entirely certain who the word "hero" applies to; it would appear to be Nameless, the fulcrum of the plot, but it touches all the other principle characters as well.

	Hero (2002 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hero was first released in China on October 24, 2002; it was both the most expensive and the highest-grossing motion picture in Chinese cinema history.
		The nameless hero explains (through narrated flashbacks) that Snow and Sword, though famed for their love of each other, had experienced only one moment of infidelity over the years, when Snow spent the night with Sky.
		The movie was finally released in theatres on August 27, 2004 after intervention by Disney executives and Quentin Tarantino.

	Hero movie review
		Hero is an epic martial arts feature but Yimou refuses to turn it into a splatter-fest of gore the way a certain American director probably would, had he truly been attached to the project.
		Hero takes place in China's most fabled era, just prior to the unification of the land under on kingdom and prior the construction of The Great Wall somewhere between 230 and 221BC.
		There is a sexual scene in the movie, phonically graphic because it is shot in an obscure way, jump-cutting away from anything too revealing.

	Hero Movie Review (Jet Li) Empire Movies (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Zhang Yimou's Hero is an epic movie of sorts, dramatically telling us the story of the quest of the King of the state of Qin (Chen Dao Ming) to unite the seven kingdoms of a wartorn third century B.C. China, under one emperor - himself.
		Hero is a movie that visually, may not be matched by any other movie this year.
		As for the characters, well, as much as I admired Nameless, I wasn't completely compelled by the motives of the characters in the movie as a whole, but perhaps that is due to the fact the movie spent very little time dealing with this aspect of the story.

	Hero movie page - Zhang Ziyi at HelloZiyi.us
		A masterpiece on every level, Hero brings together China's biggest stars under the helm of it's best director, Zhang Yimou (The Road Home.) Jet Li stars as Nameless, and he comes to the King's palace with the story of how he defeated the kingdom's three most feared assassins.
		Based on the historical legend of China's first emperor, "Hero" is a wild and lovely fantasia: a feast of lavish visuals and a heart-stopping explosion of cinema pyrotechnics and fight choreography that, in scene after scene, leaves you almost breathless.
		Hero’s characters, themselves, led by Broken Sword, learn progressively to renounce what they have been striving for, and grow to accept that their goals were merely provisional, way-stations on the path to something greater, though less tangible.

	Jet Li: Hero - Movie
		Secondly, the "Hero's" story is retold again by the emperor and then again by the Hero, and each time the color scheme of the recollection changes, from red to blue to white.
		The movie ends when the Hero spares the emperor's life, and the emperor in turn orders about 50 billion arrows to be shot at the Hero the moment he leaves the palace.
		Terrible movie to me, sorry Kung Fu fans.It was just to dry and alot of bla bla bla going on and on for an hour.The fighting was good and all,but can't be awarded four stars out of 330 viewers.

	'Hero' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		There are a lot of on-screen heroes in "Hero," so many exceptional warriors of both sexes that they barely fit on the film's poster.
		With "Hero" and the forthcoming "House of Flying Daggers" (which debuted at Cannes), Zhang has changed aesthetic direction one more time, with a vengeance.
		One of the film's signature scenes, a stunning battle between Snow and Moon amid hypnotically swirling autumn leaves, is as unforgettable as it is because, as Zhang relates in the press notes, "I had a guy out there [Inner Mongolia] specifically to keep an eye on the leaves.

	Some Post-Hero Thoughts (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As for Hero being more 'straightforward' than Crouching Tiger, I can only assume that boils down to translation issues because in terms of actual plot line CTHD is a perfectly linear story told in a western style while Hero is structurally layered and more philosophical.
		Something to bear in mind about Hero is that it was made in a country where films still have to pass beofre a politically oriented censorship board - one that will ban your film if it is believed to be critical of the current government.
		I heard that Hero is the single most pirated film in history, and definitely it's not hard to see why.

		Hence the broad thrusts of this movie, which is set two thousand years ago and is designed to show that, at a time when other modern civilizations were still mudbound, China was putting the final touches to the process of governing by martial arts.
		Criticism of HERO as Communist Party propaganda is laughably absurd and demonstrates a severe lack of understanding of Chinese history.
		HERO evokes the founding of a nation and one unknown man's ultimate decision to sublimate his desire for revenge to the greater good of his country.

		It would be somewhat understandable that why Hero was not released at the end of 2002, if that were not delivered the film until December, as what Harvey claimed, was the fact.
		After Hero was nominated for best foreign language film of 2002 Oscar, why he gave it absolute no support, which greatly contributed the film’s defeat in the category.
		Over the weekend, Hero was distributed in 2,031 theaters across North America, easily became the widest Asian release of all time, a recorded previously held by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with 2,027 theaters.

		Plus, let's be honest here...a GAH movie doesn't have a real good chance of being a success here in the U.S. based on the show itself; its name will damn it right off the bat overseas.
		I know the graphics wasnt the best for the 80's but thats all the budget they had then and the cast were great.....especially a man never in comedy before it and was on stage.
		I want to see a movie on the show but done right and if you remember the epidode he was known to public was never shown and later they forgot by the aliens and he returned to the suit in deason 2.
