Hi,
If you liked Hero, you might consider watching "House of Flying Daggers" as well. Not as well done as Hero, but still way above average IMHO. It's also a slow-paced, atmospherical movie with fantastic (not realistic!) fights in a beautiful landscape.
And if you liked Hero, you should avoid Legend of the Evil Lake at all costs. :P A movie trying to jump on the bandwagon without having a clue what made Tiger & Dragin, Hero et al so special.

The cast acts decently, and I didn't have the impression the movie should have had a 'faster pace'.I absolutely agree. The slow pace and the fantastic use of colors create a great, immersive mood that drew me in completely. A faster pace would just have made Hero another standard action movie.
