Editorial Review:

Description:
Based on the popular comic book series by Ma Wing Shung (whose work "Wind and Cloud" was also the inspiration for the box-office megahit "The Storm Riders"), "A Man Called Hero" stars pop idol Ekin Cheng as Hero, a martial arts master whose family possesses the mighty Red Sword. When his family is slaughtered, Hero flees with the sought-after sword to the United States, where he attempts to rebuild his life and take revenge. Filled with breathtaking, fights, dazzling visual effects, and the now-famous epic battle on the top of the Statue of Liberty. "A Man Called Hero" is a cinematic triumph in special effects film making.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Watch this movie with an open mind and try to enjoy it.
Almost everyone from "Stormriders" is back with a new movie combining special effects, martial arts and history to a new level.

The story focuses on a man named Hero who believes that he is born under the "Star of Death" (everyone around him dies...friends, loved ones and foes). One one hand he is fighting for his master, the other is getting revenge for the death of his family and last to find his kidnapped daughter.

Unfortunately, the movie doesn't answer all what I mentioned ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Should actually get 2 1/2 stars
I've been a fan of the Blood Sword books by Tony Wong since they made their way to the U.S., but this movie left much to be desired. If u didnt read the comics like my friend that watched the movie with me, you'll probably have a few questions that will need to be answered after watching it. The special effects are also pretty substandard compared to other movies that have been made recently in its genre. Rent it instead of buying.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Make sure you DO NOT get the world media verison.
Now the film itself as far as I could tell was a good story that was all fantasy but real emotions. I really liked it but canot say that I appreciate the version that i recieved from a seller on amazon:(

The world media version is cut by at least 15 minutes and most of this musta been action cause I didn't see shlt. I heard the movie was bloody, nop, didn't get that. Which proves, you need to see the full 119 minute version of this. Also kungfucinema saisd the pictrue quality was great, world ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Special Effects Ive Seen In A While
I Will Give The Film 5 Stars For The Awesome Special Effects Story Line And Fight Scenes...If Your Into Really Good Special Effect Fight Scenes This Is What Your Lookin For !!!!1 Also Try There Sequal " The Storm Riders " Which A Great Movie Also !!!!! WTG Guys !!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Film & Story
I dont know why some people have low comment on this film. maybe bcoz they have watch Men In Black before this film. Well i tell you what, its way to different.
But i would say that the story, casting & effects we're great (but not the fighting scenes and martial arts), but still this film for me deserves a 5 star rating for its exceptional story and the kung-fu flicts.

Awwww!
