Not only is Hero a masterful weaving of multiple storylines into a compelling story of treachery, bravery, and romance, but it also is one of the most visually beautiful films I have ever seen. Yimou Zhang chooses a different color scheme and visual style for each storyline and the results are ethereal and dreamlike. This is a Tarantino film if Tarantino was a Renaissance artist.

This vibrant Rashomon wannabe is a wonderful as you think it is from the trailer. Christopher Doyle will go down in history as the Asian Lubezki. You could dismiss the story and its post climax as propaganda, but that would simply mean you haven't been engrossed in one of the most dreamy and dense cinematic experience. I hope I will see this on a big screen one day.

Visually immaculate. Choppy, camp, Bollywood-style cuts. (First seen 4 July 2013: 60.)

Poetic, with an intricate but deep story that is cleverly interwoven with the colors and visuals of the film. It's a subtitles only movie because the dub is terrible. But if you don't mind reading subtitles and paying close attention, you are in store for a visual and narrative treat.

The nonlinear storytelling, the colours, the sound mixing, the slow-building tension—alongside masterful cinematography and choreography—all contribute to an exceptional picture. Compelling, intricate, and unique.

The visuals are stunning. The colours and the use of wind are both gorgeous. Unfortunately the CGI is dated and the wiring sometimes a bit awkward. Other than that, totally worth a watch if it's just for the visuals and the engaging story.
