Hero with Jet Li

Lovely cinematography and clever use of colours. Amazing fantastical fight scenes, if you find them absurd then I completly understand. 9/10

Some reasonable acting, Jet Li of course not counted here as he can't act. 7/10

Plot - I don't want to give the game away but I felt that it substantially undermined the rest of the film. SPOILER-> At periods it was revealed that the past was being incorrectly recounted and it was then retold differently. This happened several times and I found myself, in the end, not believing anything I was seeing or waiting to have the rug ripped out from under me again. In a film where they also ask you to accept totally unphysical stunts I felt that the bedrock of acceptance was being undermined. 2/10

Conclusion: great visuals, boring music, mediocre acting and bad plot. Unsatisfying unless high kicks are all you need for amusement.
