Hero (2002)

Director: Yimou Zhang
Starring: Jet Li, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Maggie Cheung, Daoming Chen, Donnie Yen
Certificate: 12
Genre:  Kung Fu, action
Awards: None














An nameless warrior (Li) is invited to have dinner with the king of Qin (Chen) after he has killed three assassins. Broken Sword (Chiu Wai), Flying snow (Cheung), and Sky (Yen) have fallen to his sword, but as he tells his story, something is amiss...


I liked the story of Hero, but it was very stylised. There was a lot of flying around and stuff that just makes it look a bit stupid and unrealistic. This film took itself much too seriously and lacks the sort of humour Ip Man has.

***Okay
