    I am a Jet Li fan as well and love a lot of his movies. Hero and Fearless are among his better films. His performances are often inspiring and influence others to think about martial arts as well!

    Great lens! I am a Jet Li fan, but haven't seen Hero yet. Shame on me. Thanks again!

    Great lens. Hero is really a great family movie. Me, my wife and our children really enjoyed it. Thanks for this supporting lens. Jet Li is really one of the best. 5*****

    I think that the Asian movies being made are the best in the world. Not only beautiful, but the stories are rich and compelling. I found this lens because I am publishing one that supports Hero as a "chick flick".

    Thanks!

    Although I enjoyed Hero, I thought they went a little bit over board on the special effects. I would have liked to have seen more of Jet's truly amazing skills. It was a great flick, all the same.
