I just saw the new martial arts saga 'HERO' in cinema yesterday. Wow.
I was overwhelmed. The film with actors Jet Lee, Zang ZiYi, Donnie Yen and Tony Leung is a masterpiece.
Based on a legend, the story is much more traceable than Tiger & Dragon's.
The fighting scenes use similar technics, and the ambiance shots of the landscapes look terrific.
Though Tiger and Dragon was the first real sumptuous martial arts saga, and therefore had a major impact on the martial arts movie culture, I think Hero is even more impressive. If you liked Tiger and Dragon, go watch it.
