This film looks really good. As well as Jet Li, you get the girl from Crouching Tiger/Rush Hour 2 and Donnie Yen.

It's good to see Jet Li making Chinese films again, which are far better than the mediocre hollywood ones. I can't wait for it's UK ceinma release. I don't want to see it on DVD before I see it in Cinema.

It's received a golden globe nomination and has been hyped up quite a bit, but I agree, it may not be a mainstream release and will probably only show it a cinemas like the curzon.

It may be a straight to DVD release in UK, like Iron Monkey which was relased on DVD over here before it was released in cimemas in US.

I just hope the Hero doesn't have too much 'flying around' and more fighting.

I’ve also seen this movie about 4-5 times - not by choice – it’s just that everyone who comes around always wants to watch this movie. It is a good film, although not very original story, the execution, cinematography and action is all excellent :thumbs: Apparently all the DVDs out at the moment, this included (which is the best version yet) is the short cinema cut of the movie. There is an extended director's cut expect on DVD soon with loads of scenes that were originally cut as it was deemed too long for the international scene.

Makes me wish I had a region free player. I hope Hero gets released this year in the US. But you can never trust those bastards at Miramax. They are probably chopping it up make it suitable for the american multiplex crowd. :bangbang:

Found where I read it - c&p from monkeypeaches.com

HERO Breaking News 247 - MiramAxe Chopped 18 Minutes Off

The original cut of the film is 116-minute long (123-minute according to one paper) but under pressure from MiramAxe, the North American distributor, only 98 minutes left when it was released in Asia. According to Chinese media, the role MiramAxe has played was finally revealed during a dinner held in Beijing last night to celebrate the release of HERO DVD and VCD in China. MiramAxe indeed complained that HERO was too long to be accepted by Americans, and after a long struggle with himself, director Zhang Yimou gave in and personally edited a 98 minute version, the one has been shown and will be shown thoughout the world. Zhang Yimou even had to cover up for MiramAxe at the film's Beijing première. He said, "I want to make it concentrated, short, running it through with one breath, no dragging, catching the audiences' attention from the beginning to the end, and not allowing them to think for even one moment until the the film is over."

After all these, so far MiramAxe has only paid an unknown amount of deposit of the 20 million they promised and has refused to do anything to promote the film, even after the film got the Oscar nomination. Critics who have been criticizing HERO for "lacking story and character developing", here is the response - the film has been weakened during the editing.

I am really tired of saying it, but I still have to say - MiramAxe is deliberately destroying foreign cinematic art and the destruction has been not only carried out in the US but also spread to the home countries of those films being destroyed by MiramAxe. Because of that, we will never see the full version the director intended to show us on the big screen.

The full version or the director's cut, formerly known as the extended version, will be released on DVD and VCD in China next month. The good news is we will eventually see the full version; the bad news is neither TV screen nor computer monitor is the prime vehicle for watching a movie. The full version will be released on DVD-9 (single side, double layers). There are even collectable and luxury collectable set on the way.
