Hero review

Jet Li (Nameless), Tony Leung (Broken Sword), Maggie Cheung (Flying Snow), Zhang Ziyi (Moon) and Donnie Yen (Long Sky) all have endearing performances. The script was effective in relaying the themes of peace, love, character and unity. Has one of the best action sequences, stunning cinematography and locations on film. The exquisite colors used on the flick were really impressive and lush costumes were utilized well to depict the era. Good character development and score were well matched. Plot was brilliant and the tragic ending which resulted in the unification of China is unforgettable. Chen Daoming (King of Qin) did a splendid job with the dialogue as well. Overall, a visual masterpiece filled with impressive battles and drama that crafts a real “Hero.”
