Man Called Hero Movie Review 1999

After the success of "The Storm Riders," fans of Hong Kong cinema had been eagerly awaiting movies that would be somewhat in the same vein, and the answer came in the form of "A Man Called Hero." This slowly paced action film based on a long running comic boasts a great cast, fine martial arts, and stunning visuals. However, without proper knowledge of the comic, the story is disjointed. The computer-generated effects are of varying quality, some spectacular, most not.
