Hero
We saw Hero last night. I have to say that I wasn’t overly impressed. It has certainly taken cues from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, perhaps too many.
It’s big problem is slow pacing. Not that there is anything wrong with a slowly paced movie, Hero just doesn’t have enough steam. It failed to really engage me at any point. Even the score, by Tan Dun (he who did CT, HD) sounded too familiar.
I did enjoy the cinematography and the costume color changing, and the basic story line. However, the execution just didn’t quiet work for me.
Overall, 3.5 our of 5.
