This just came out in Australia, and strewth, it's a dead-set legend of a film! (For non-Australian's, this means that it is good!)
The fight scenes are great, the cinematography is breathtaking, and the acting pretty good too.
It looks just as fantastic as Hero, but with a much stronger plot and better performances. I'd compare it more to Crouching Tiger, in that you really care about the characters. My wife was sobbing away at the end - it's a pretty sad ending.
I give it 8 out of 10.
