Love a Hero
Added 12/28/2009
I was excited to find a copy of an older movie, Hero, which I love. Hero is zany and rather slapstick like the original Hollywood version which portrays that time period. Dustin Hoffman's performance is excellent and wonderfully cranky. Geena and Andy are superb as always. I have watched this film many times and still laugh at the wonderful comedy.
Watching this film reminds me of many afternoons in the Saturday matinee with my little brother in the small town where we grew up.

Who's the true hero here?
Added 10/6/2009
This is sadly a very underrated comedy. It's a unique "Cinderella" tale that satirizes the media and the true characteristics of a true hero. It's a darn good film with heartwarming moments and some good hilarity mixed as one. The real standouts here are the performances from our principal actors: Dustin Hoffman, Geena Davis, and Andy Garcia. All three give wonderful performances as distinctive people who are connected to the troubles of the media and society's view of what makes a hero a real hero. Make no mistake, this is a really good movie that should shouldn't be very underrated.

Hero: not Blu-Ray!
Added 6/5/2009
I thought I was getting BluRay version, but it wasn't even widescreen. I will have to pay more attention in the future.

HERO is a wonderful Film!
Added 11/20/2008
Hero with Dustin Hoffman,is an excellent and highly entertaining film.
It is sad that I had to search high and low to find this film, as it is no longer at Blockbuster type stores to rent or available to purchase in Chain retailers, so I am thankful that Amazon had it available for me to purchase.
This movie's main characters are all very unlikely heros but turn out to be way more then we the viewer could ever imagine them to be. A plane crash sets a chain of events into motion that create the opportunity to teach many lessons in this film, some obvious and some very subtle, but all meaningful.
The outcome of the movie is not what I expected, it was bigger and better then I could have hoped for!
I feel like anyone who watches this Film, no matter what age, race , or gender will find something valuable (about themselves) buried in this Movie. Hopefully, this Film will help some of us to realize that there is a HERO in every one of us, just waiting to come out!
