Quick Review: Extraordinary in its eye-candy use of color and scenery, drop-dead dazzling cinematography, spectacularly exquisite ballet-esque swordplay, and elaborate wire-fu set pieces, all masterly put into effect by Yimou's imaginative direction, which utilizes an intricate plot structure to narrate this enigmatic and poetical, yet epic fable of deception, love and sacrifice, "Hero" is a sublime 'wuxia' masterpiece with mesmerizing score and stellar cast that complement the artistry of its aesthetics.

Wow, that is an amazing rating. Thought it was great.
Alex, as you probably know, this is my all-time favorite movie. :) It's perfect in my book, so I couldn't have rate in lower than 11. lol.
This is a quick re-review of the film, in honor of its world premiere on this very day back on October 24, 2002 in Shenzhen, China. :)
