Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I knew

that some will not "get" this movie. Viewed from Hollywood or even European style of movie-making, one can find many faults with this movie.

If you like tightly progressive, clear-as-bell storyline, with event A leading to B and then C, with crackling stunts/effects, as well as every character and motive explained 100% by the movie's end, then "Hero" may be underwhelming.

On the other hand, If you are someone who has had a lot of exposure to "authentic" Chinese martial arts and history, especially the very long Martial Arts fiction novels (fantastic!), have the been-there done-that background in the Martial-arts mechanics/style and get past the actual fighting, this movie is very "Zen."

Approached from the flowing-river, Siddhartha type of viewpoint, this movie makes sense IMO. I find it much more moving than Crouching Tiger.
