Yes Ive watched it.

Ono lent me the DVD about a week ago. I knew nothing of this film except the bits that Ono had told me about. I was expecting something similar to that of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

I was therefore a little dissapointed with the fight scenes which were not nearly as intense and exciting as CTHD...but I enjoyed them none the less as they had an artistic quality to them surrounded by stunning scenery and great music.

This film has a lot of style and character to it.
The colour variations and expansive scenery are quite something.
The Emporer's grand army was absolutely superb. The enormity and power that was demonstrated was quite staggering.

I was also pleasantly surprised with Jet li's acting skills. Definitely a world apart from the hollywood films he stars in.

Well worth watching this film!!

Ignore Clown he's a mental dwarf.

Watched this last night and thought it was superb. The only scene that narked me was the battle in the autumn leaves, far far far too much going on and I much preferred the stark style when Nameless and Sky fought.

I enjoyed this a lot more than CTHD and thought the stylings of various scenes were much more impressive.

Here's the what opening section says,

HERO

Two thousand years ago.. during the Warring States period, China was divided into seven Kingdoms.

For years they battled for supremacy while the people suffered.

The King of Qin was the most ruthless in his efforts to conquer the land and unify all under heaven.

He was regarded as a common threat by the other six Kingdoms.

The annals of Chinese history are abound with tales of the assassins sent to kill the great King.

This is one of the legends...
