Hero
Starring Jet Li
Some movies are so overtly artistic that it takes away from the overall impact of the film. While "Hero" is a certainly an artistic movie, the creative aspects add to both the film's substance and meaning.
I must admit, this movie was quite a bit different than I expected. The previews made the movie look like an epic war of one man against several large armies. I had the feeling it would share a similar storyline with "The Last Samaurai." Well I was wrong on both accounts. "Hero" is about a warrior who fights for one reason, which isn't revealed until the end of the movie. The battle scenes are nearly all one-on-one battles, placing the focus on individuals, not on entire armies like most war movie
