It's gonna be far and away better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
I mean, when has Quentin brought us anything but goodness? |

Quentin just produced right....I'm pretty sure Zhang Yimou is the director. |

Sorry to have to mention these films also produced by Mr. Tarantino.
- From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money
- From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter
- God Said, 'Ha!'
- Curdled
- From Dusk Till Dawn
- Four Rooms
- Killing Zoe
Although Killing Zoe was not a complete disaster. |

I liked all the movies you mentioned, Marla. God Said, Ha! the least, but I liked them all. He executive produced them, by the way, not produced them.
Don't forget he executive produced:
Switchblade Sisters Iron Monkey Past Midnight Mighty Peking Man
and a host of other films for people to insult...
Yes, Quentin is producing the U.S. release of Hero, or Ying Xiong. Not sure of the name of the director to be honest. |

He hasn't produced Hero he has made it possible for you people in the US to see Hero Uncut.
I can see Hero when ever I want the uncut version but I don't.
PS. He has not produced Hero. DS

I'd consider Quentin to be an associate producer, but fair enough. Apparently the 20 minutes were originally cut because they were "too Asian and confusing". |

He produced the US release of my favorite Lucio Fulci (and one of my favorite zombie flicks) of all time: The Beyond.
That right there is enough to make me forget about FDTD (though the first one was cool enough). |

I thought Hero was so fantastically fantastic that..well, yeah.
The use of color is brilliant, the action is incredible (especially the Donnie Yen/Jet Li fight scene - I believe they haven't fought since Once Upon a Time in China II), the score is great, the lighting is great, the script is amazing, the acting is wonderful, the morals and themes...my god!
I bet Jackie Chan feels like a ding dong now. And not in a good way. |

Saw this in theaters on Sunday. I liked it even more than Crouching Tiger. Only thing I didn't like as much was the wire-fighting. It just seemed too. . . wire. It took me out of the movie for a moment. With Crouching Tiger it looked and felt so much more natural.
Still, this gets **** out of ****. |

Of course, none of the wire fu took place in reality, which is I think what people get hung up on.
For the record, I thought Crouching Tiger sucked and I was ashamed for Chow Yuen Fat, who is one of my heros. Don't even get me started on Bulletproof Monk. |

AdministratorAdministrator So, what are you writing?
LocationVirginia Posts16417 Posts Per Day 1.93 |
I saw "Hero" yesterday. I very much enjoyed it as did my wife who grew up on pulp kung-fu novels. I thought it was a beautiful story, tho the story in itself is not based upon any legend that I'm familiar with. If you are keen on the legends of the time, you might try The Emperor and the Assassin which is more true to the legend of the King of Qin (Qin pronounced more like Chin). Regardless, I thought the movie was beautifully done. BTW, the director of "Hero" also directed the closing ceremony of the Olympics this summer. Written in haste, Don |

If ruled. Period. Okay, dawgs? I haven't seen the new kung-fu movies, I saw pretty all the seventies ones at some japanese dude's theatre (r.e. knows what I'm talking about) so I went back to that theatre to see this one, and the japanese man is actually still alive, which amazes me, in 75 he turned 60, so that makes him...89. Enough about that, i thought this movie was amazing visually, as well as the fights, and it also had a strong story to back it up so it wasn't just a dazzling fight film with a story |

Whoa...! I've finally downloaded this film. I wasn't sure if I'd like it because I'd seen it advertise and thought it looked awesome, I'd pumped myself up about it, which in my case normally means the film's gonna turn out to be shite! But it wasn't. I was completely drawn into the story as well as the fight scenes. The "blue scene" where they're fighting on the lake was just mesmorizing! I couldn't take my eyes off! I need to watch this again... |

Having just bought Hero, I thought that I should also mention the absolutely impeccable sound editing. It truly is fantastic - I was unable to spot a single flaw, which is surprising considering the magnitude of some of the fights and as well as the sheer number of action scenes. |

What is it with people bringing over foreign films with subtitles or bad voice overs with english chinamen?
It's next to impossible at times to follow the subtitles when there is a long speech, luckily there weren't to many because these films don't need much talk.
The action and the visuals were great, the pacing was perfect it's just the speech that brings the film down for me. I think these films should stay in the homeland and come over here on DVD but not theatrically. It takes away from real film makers.
I know that lead guy can speak english and same with that slave girl Zhang Ziyi or vice versa not very well mind you but she can. This is a good film, don't get me wrong but unless i go learn the language in which they speak it will never be anymore than just a good film in my books. |
