Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Jaime Valle R. (TheVaderCollector) This movie is best known in the US as "A Man Called Hero". It is based on the comic book by Wing-Shing Ma that follows the adventures of Hero Hua, born under the Star of Death and cursed to bring unhappiness to those he cares for. This adaptation tells the story from the point of view of several people that knew Hero, told to Hero's son, who is searching for his father. We follow the path of Hero from his early student days in Mainland China and up to his eventual migration to the US. There are many characters from the comic book making small cameos. The final battle between Hero and his nemesis Invincible (what's in a name!) takes place on top of the Statue of Liberty!. Best enjoyed by someone who has either read the comic book or likes Asian Fantasy/Martial Arts films. An overall great movie for a Friday Night with a group of friends.

Pro Jury The other reviews offer a complete enough picture about what this movie offers and fails to offer. However, potential viewers might want to be aware that at least in one version of this release, there are tiny, difficult to see, English subtitles. You may want to think twice about trying to watch the subtitled version with a group of people because many people will be asking what is being said throughout the film.Also of note, the famed Asian picture book model Hsu Chi plays Mu. Moving or still, she possesses the same unique magnetism.

Mr-Blonde-1 `A man called Hero' is another fantastic epic of good against evil, which was transformed from comic book form onto celluloid. As `The Stormriders', this film mixes good special effects, awesome martial arts scenes and a nice story together to an above average movie. For most western viewers this film might just be a touch to eastern, but of course it's a HK movie, and also it's an eastern comic book adaptation. The acting is pretty solid, and the story, it's a tragic one to that, evolves rather slow, giving enough space to develop the characters of this epic. So don't expect another fighting scene every 5 minutes, like in many Jet Li movies, but rather some fine fighting scenes towards the end and climax of the movie. The final fight is quite spectacular as Hero finally meets his long life adversary Invincible and they both have a stunning fight ON TOP of the Statue of Liberty. If you liked `The Stormriders' and `The Duel', you'll definitely like `A man called Hero'.

modius Inspired by a comic book, this sequel (of sorts) to "The StormRiders" is a plot driven, emotionally charged (well for the characters of the film but not the viewers) movie that see Hero going to America and being tracked down by a Japanese warrior wanting the "China Secret".The SFX are deliberatly saved for last, with wonderful effect, unfortuently due to the character driven plot moving at a snails pace, it ruins the film.Fortuently, a welcomed return of Yuen Biao saves the film mid-way with some good wire-enhanced fight sequencesWhilst the end fight may make you think your watching "pokemon" or something when Hero shouts out "China Secret!!" it is an enjoyable film, much like Storm Riders, but probably not as good - mainly because its boring most of the time, spending more time on sfx, and plot-driven story.If you like your action fast, and your sfx less intrusive, you may find this film out of your liking, sometimes the SFX actually gets in the way, you can't see the people fighting or connecting with hands or feet.The ending is much better than that of X-Men, and although I'm nickpicking at the movie, its a good movie, that is perhaps a bit too long on plot and too little on action.Overall: 5/10
