-- Andrew Sun, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
\\\"From beginning to end, Hero is a painting in motion, its fight scenes a ballet with blades.\\\"
-- Steven Rea, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
\\\"If martial arts movies have always seemed like musicals with full body contact, Zhang Yimou\\\'s Hero is the closest the form has yet come to a full-blown Vincente Minnelli MGM extravaganza.\\\"

Hidden Truths in the Court of a King Who Would Be Emperor
By MANOHLA DARGIS
Published: August 27, 2004
In \\\"Hero,\\\" an ambitious period epic about the birth of the first Chinese empire, warriors fly through the air like birds of prey, their swords cutting through enemies and lovers alike. Set during the third century B.C., the story of an assassination plot against a powerful king unfolds with such dazzling bursts of color and blurs of furious action it might be easy to miss the nationalistic message tucked amid the visual enchantments. Roll over, Chairman Mao, and tell the comrades the news: the history of the empire now comes wrapped in kaleidoscopic kung fu cool.
And now this birth of an empire also comes with the imprimatur of Quentin Tarantino. The reigning king of Amerasian cinema, Mr. Tarantino has lent his name to \\\"Hero\\\" (it looms above the title), a bit of commercial calculation no doubt meant to seduce the director\\\'s fans, some of whom have probably already watched the 2002 movie on imported DVD\\\'s.
Mr. Tarantino\\\'s name is a nice touch, but the real auteur here is the Chinese director Zhang Yimou, who until now has been known for far more modestly scaled features such as \\\"Raise the Red Lantern\\\" and \\\"The Story of Qiu Ju.\\\" \\\"Hero,\\\" which opens nationwide today, shows Mr. Zhang working in a new genre and on a new scale, and handling the demands of both with relative ease, which partly explains why the movie stands as the most successful release in China, second only to James Cameron\\\'s \\\"Titanic.\\\"
The story takes off with the title character, a nameless warrior played by the appealing martial-arts film star Jet Li, en route to the kingdom of Qin, whose ruler hopes to unite the warring Chinese states into an empire. Once ensconced under heavy guard and the scrutiny of the Qin king (Chen Dao Ming), \\\"Nameless\\\" relates how he vanquished the king\\\'s most feared enemies, Sky (Donnie Yen), Snow (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) and the most powerful warrior of all, Broken Sword (Tony Leung Chiu-wai).
When the king rejects the account, Nameless spins a second, a third and finally a fourth version, changes in perspective that Mr. Zhang and his excellent production team signal with startling shifts of color that alternately flood the screen with a red as vivid as that of a Little Red Book, a spotless white, a delicate blue and a pale pistachio so mouthwatering you may want to lick the screen.
Despite the modest complications of the film\\\'s flashback structure, the tale cooked up by Mr. Zhang and his co-writers Li Feng and Wang Bin is storybook simple. After a knockout fight between Nameless and Sky, which finds the opponents violently bouncing off a courtyard like squash balls, Nameless travels to the kingdom of Zhao, which is preparing for an attack from Qin.
There, Nameless meets Snow and Broken Sword, warring lovers who have holed up together in a calligraphy school along with several dozen students, an old master and a comely young servant named Moon (Zhang Ziyi). Much of the rest of the film and certainly everything that makes this story more than soulless spectacle involves this ravishing ménage à trois, whose passions erupt as fiercely as any of the film\\\'s fights though often to more devastating effect.
Filled with meticulous set pieces, including a showdown between Snow and Moon set among swirls of golden-yellow leaves, \\\"Hero\\\" is easy on the eyes, but it\\\'s too segmented to gather much momentum and too art-directed to convey much urgency. And at least for this viewer, the founding of the first Chinese empire weighs in as less compelling than Mr. Leung\\\'s melting eyes, Ms. Cheung\\\'s implacable beauty and Ms. Zhang\\\'s ability to flicker from rage to vulnerability with hummingbird grace and speed. This remarkable young actress, who first came to attention here in Ang Lee\\\'s \\\"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,\\\" will next be seen in Mr. Zhang\\\'s \\\"House of Flying Daggers.\\\" That more recent period epic, which had its premiere to great acclaim at Cannes in May and comes out later this year, indicates that with \\\"Hero\\\" Mr. Zhang was just warming up.
If \\\"Hero\\\" proves to be less than the sum of its attractive parts, it\\\'s nonetheless generally pleasurable. That\\\'s particularly true if you don\\\'t think too hard and long about the implications of the noble sacrifices various characters make in the name of a unified China or what this subtitled version of the film calls \\\"our land.\\\" (In at least one DVD copy the same phrase is translated as \\\"all under heaven.\\\")
Many of Mr. Zhang\\\'s earlier features were initially banned in China and more recently he has directed state-sponsored films promoting China\\\'s successful efforts to serve as host for the next summer Olympics and World Expo. For better or for worse, Mr. Zhang\\\'s ability to provide the powers that be with palatable stories is apparently no longer in doubt and neither is his talent for putting on a really big show.
\\\"Hero\\\" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). The film includes sword and arrow violence, discreet bloodshed and some emotionally intense exchanges.

\\\"A film of one memorable movie moment after another.\\\"
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
不过票房如此之高，跟预告片上打了“Quentin Tarantino Presents”应该颇有关系，不排除有很多人以为是昆汀的新片而跑去看的....在imdb网站上网民也为此争论不休，不过官方的解释是：
Miramax, the distributor, apparently cut out 20 minutes from the movie because they found that part to be \"too Asian and confusing\" for western audiences. Then-Miramax honcho Harvey Weinstein made a deal with Quentin Tarantino that he\'d release the film uncut if Tarantino would allow a \"Quentin Tarantino Presents\" tag at the beginning of the film. Tarantino agreed.
MIRAMAX认为《英雄》太亚洲化对于西方人恐怕不能理解，就请昆汀做了协定，如果他允许在该片打上“昆汀出品”的字样，那miramax就不会对这片子作出删剪，昆汀同意了 -_-b
