Hero: Review By The One (JetLi Forum) - Mixed Minor Spoilers
In
China. Saw it couple of weeks ago.
Okay, here's my opinion since you all ask for it.
Weaknesses:
There was too much hype on this movie, so when I saw it, it wasn't as exciting.
Fight scenes weren't that long, although creative and artistic. Maybe too
artistic because everything was based on art....so hard core action fans will be
disappointed. The deaths of the assasins were too sudden, believe me. Some of
the wirefu were too obvious; such as when jet was fighting donnie in the
beginning. Donnie died fast, which sucked. The music resembles crouching tiger,
which was kind of boring. Even the way the story was told reflects hidden
dragon. Watching Jet's fighting style reminds me of the wushu olympic
contestants, Jet never smiled in the movie, kind of like KOD. Hehe. Tony was
like a zombie throughout the entire movie.
Strengths:
Zhang ZiYi was very cute. Very BEAUTIFUL movie with everyone changing colors as
the story progressed. The scene with ZiYi fighting Maggie was gorgeous. The
sound of the weapons were unreal. Amazing sequences with the arrows. Zhang ZiYi
was very cute. The movie didn't make me cry in front of the 8 people in the
theater
Overall:
I didn't ask for my money back, so I guess it was worth it.
