1. Takeshi Kaneshiro is very hot.
2. Every frame is like a pretty picture, Zhang Yimou can even enter a few of them to competitions and win. He's meticulous this way, but too much of a good/staged thing becomes a bad thing. Am I watching a movie or watching movie stills?
3. Takeshi Kaneshiro is very very hot. When he flirted with Zhang Ziyi, I had to blush too.
4. There is too much action even before the dialogue is set. It makes the movie rather dull. I mean, Zhang Ziyi dancing - yawn. Them playing that stupid game - yawn. Them fighting elaborately - double yawns. Them fighting like they are dancing tango - double yawns giggles yawns.
5. Takeshi Kaneshiro is very hot.
6. The theatre was hilarious too. Ok I admit I was a bad cine-goer last night and spoke incessantly to my sister. Mostly along the lines of "I don't believe it" when the dagger flies so...wunnerfully. But most of the cinema was laughing with me!
7. Takeshi Kaneshiro is very hot.
8. My sister and I spoilt the romantic scene between Andy Lau and Zhang Ziyi. Sis spotted Andy LAu's very flawed eyebrows (one higher and shorter than the other) and we giggled throughout the scene. Oops. Hope we didn't spoil the romantic moment for some..What romantic moment?!
9. Takeshi KAneshiro is very hot.
10. Andy Lau and Zhang Ziyi together = Father and Daughter scene. Extremely perversely sick!
11.Takeshi KAneshiro is very hot.
12. One member of the audience had delayed laughter syndrome. It goes like this - the entire cinema laughs - laughter dies down - continues atching movie - lady in audience starts laughing - entire cinema starts laughing AT her. So we were a jolly crowd. And the lady with delayed laughter syndrome is not sis or I.
13. Takeshi KAneshiro is very hot, even with blood all over.
14. Final scene is a total blast. Zhang Ziyi took more than 30 minutes to die. And for a while, she could even stand up and kiss The Hot One Passionately, before dying again. Bottom could do better anyday. And lady, just die.
15 The Hot One is very hot.
16. I'm not too sure if Zhang Yimou intended for Andy LAu's character to be so psychopathic but I suspect his acting range was the cause of the psychopathic character being so psychopathic no one can feel any empathy for him.
17. Takeshi Kaneshiro is very hot.
18. The final fight scene was supposed to be epic perhaps. But in a wide vast snowfield, two men bobbing up and down for a very long time - very hilarious. And they way the fought - forehead bangs foredhead - very very Mike Tyson.
19. Takeshi Kaneshiro is very hot.
20. Howw can a plot that started off quite well, with honour and revenge as its theme, spiral out of control so easily into a story TCS 8 is capable of. Girl meets new guy while in long distance relationship with old guy. Old(ooh pun totally intended) guy returns and turns psycho and kills girl. But repents eventually to show great love and got drunk and walks away into the horizon.
21. Takeshi Kaneshiro is very hot.
22. Yup. Andy Lau survived in the end. He was supposed to be fatally injured (c.f. long elaborate fight scene) then he walks away into the horizon. I guess Zhang Yimou wanted him to stagger off..but the only kind of stagger he knows is a drunken swagger. So it's really very hilarious. I was laughing hysterically by then.
23. Takeshi KAneshiro is very hot despite being in stupid movie.
24. I was laughing so hysterically, but Zhang Yimou placed one final joke. As Andy Lau swaggered off, the ENGLISH dramamama opera-like song came on and the entire cinema laughed one last time. Very inappropriate indeed.
25. Takeshi KAneshiro is the only saving grace in the movie.
26. Sister told me 8 Days gave it 4 stars. Perhaps 8 Days thought it's a comedy.

All in all...a totally hilarious movie quite worth the money cuz I hadn't laughed so hard in a long long while.

But Hero it is not.
