Hollywood Gossips: Spotlight
News
18 Oct 2002Hero: Lots of Updates and Critics' views (
Sina.com/Bestco)Here are some of the things mentioned in this
article:
- Hero was submitted to the Chinese Filmm Bureau and got approved, it was highly
praised by the bureau members, even for those who usually don't watch MA movies
said Hero is truely impressive.
- fight scenes in Hero makes up about 500% of the movie runtime! but don't expect
this to be a commercial wuxia movie, it's quite the oppossite as the critics
claim it's a totally different kind of wuxia film compared to the usual HK MA
flicks.
- Hero's action/fighting styles will be different than Ching Siu Tung's
(choreographer) previous movies. This might be a good news for those of you who
dislike Swordman2 (yes Ching Siu Tung was responsible for the actions in
Swordman2).
- According to the those who saw Hero, JJet did a good job at both acting and
fighting, but the best performance was given by the person who played the
emperor...
- those who saw Hero did compare it to CCTHD, they said both are very good films
but Hero is better...and they believe it will be more embraced by the Chinese
audience.
