This is what Epic heroes are supposed to be like - Jet Li's "Hero"

For anyone who wants to know where the Epic feat "Infinite Deflection" looks like, look no farther. I love the scene where he's walking up the stairs and the whole army is moving with him.

Other good 'uns:

Swordsman I and II
Chinese Ghost Story I and II
Bride With White Hair

And pah, Infinite Deflection is still broken.

Seen the movie already. (I'm so bad. As "penance" I'm going to take a bunch of friends to see it on Friday.)

He doesn't resemble any epic DnD characters I've seen, though; he has maybe two magic items -

his sword and his sheath

I also saw it on a DVD imported from China (or from where the movie originally comes from; I'm not sure). For those who havent seen it, I really recommend it.


My favorite parts are the duel above the lake and the scene where they are fighting in their minds while the blind musician plays. A real masterpiece.

Saw it at the Cinerama this year. The Cinerama is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge screen with one hell of a soundsystem (thank you Paul Allen).

I like the huge array of lamps that detect hostile intent.

For those of you who've seen it, I'm curious. How would you say it measures up to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

More than an epic DnD hero, to me its like Exalted: The Movie. Huge, overblown powers and stunts, with wuxia martial arts. Yeah, thats Exalted.

Very similarly. A little more.... expieremental with imagry (or color at the least), and it's told in more of an interesting style. However, it felt less concrete in setting.

I'd say Crouching Tiger is the better film, while Hero is the better movie.

Or, if you've already seen the film,

Heh, I kid. It's there. But there's one part . . .
