Hero

I saw Hero, the new Jet Li movie, last night. I should read the marketing drivel more closely next time. Foreign language films are not my thing, and neither are fantasy movies. This was right up there with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It had good looking scenes and sets, but if I wanted to stare at art, I would go to a museum. For a movie I want action, drama, something to draw me in. This had some of each, but not enough of any, leaving me wishing that I was anywhere else. Next time I'm going to a movie where something blows up.
