It's an okay movie. Not worth the $5.25 I put up on it.

The story is just wishy-washy, it's your typical story of family/people getting killed and someone getting revenge. At some point, this gets old. The fight scenes were decent, but only because Jet-Li was in it. But it's also cheesy that you have this lone warrior, trying to look fierce standing up to an empire...I swear, this formula for a movie has been done so many times before...it's just tiring. Maybe it's just me, but it'll be a long while(if ever) a martial arts movie looks and reads as good as CTHD. At least the story was good in CTHD...granted, it was a love story...but the script made it work...Hero just lacks that. I never bought into Jet Li as a good actor...in fact, I think he's an average actor with above average martial arts skills. I never buy into the emotions Jet-Li tries to convey on screen...he's just not that good.

With that being said, I think it's borderline for some people if they should see this movie. I can't believe I passed up Shrek 2 for Hero though. -_-
