Comments:

Southern City reports many people who saw the rough cut have thrown some very good words on it and said HERO was a new height of Zhang Yimou's career.

"This is definitely an Oscar contender!! A movie worth watching more than once.A Visual feast for the eyes, Great Sound effects, Powerful acting and a very interesting storyline. Not to forget the beautiful settings."

"HERO will inevitably be compared to CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON. It bears the same feeling of melancholy, and its fight scenes could easily be mistaken for each other"
