From the genre of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (or is it Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger?) Hero seems to be at first all fight. But as you move into the movie it becomes about art, the art of calligraphy, the art of the game Go, the art of swordsmanship. It is more thoughtful and contemplative, musing about the use of power, the good of the many vs. the good of the few, the battle between independence or peace.
Even the fight scenes become more of a ballet, rather than serious fights, with choregraphy of swords and clothing that is pretty amazing.
Not typical maybe, but worth a watch, as long as you are not expecting something more action packed.
