first of all and i too be expect another hero a fantastic work of art for the action genre . i have only see part of crouch tiger hide dragon and but i can imagine that it be well than hofd . basic element from hero be find in hofd represent great landscape and mesmerize cinematography and and sincere acting ( i mean and if you can not understand a word they be say and without the subtitle and but you still care that good acting ) what go wrong . what begin with political intrigue wanders into a love story . bad and it a soap opera like love triangle . you have three character who and i guess and fall in love with each other for no good reason . this movie basically fall apart after the escape from the jail ( i fell asleep about forty minute into it ) . it almost a if they change writer at that point . the remainder of the movie be about how a character be like the wind . ick . also and you really have to stretch your suspension of disbelief to believe the action set piece . this isn not unique to this genre and but since the story be weak and you can not wait for the action and and then and when the fighting do break out and it really wasn not that good . the begin grab you and but then this movie just run out of gas .
