I didn't watch it because all my friends who watched it said it was boring and a waste of movie-goers money.

And I thought it was action packed.

Well, I've seen a movie called Volcano High ( Korean movie I think ). The movie was damn hilarious and with pretty cool effects, and a funny plot ( students VS teachers, mwahahaha ), and I heard people say it was boring . Same for Shaolin Soccer

One of the funniest movies of all time Though some of it makes no sense at all. But that's kinda why it's funny

since nothing's really changed in that year (i.e. the movie still hasn't been released in the US yet), i guess quite a few people care.

better late than never.

note the "HK" after the amount... it's not American dollars, it's Hong Kong currency...

[Knight Templar]

Shouldn't it have been out last November?

HK$240,000,000 at a conversion rate of HK$1:US$0.8 works out at: US$192,000,000 ~ US$200mil

wrong.  HK$240,000,000 converts to $30,846,248.22 USD.

$1.00 (USD) = $7.78052 (HKD)

oh and squeak, yeah, you're right, it was supposed to come out November 2003, but they postponed release (for the second time) to either March 2004 or May 2004, i forget which.

Before you get all uber-tard next time, you should note that an0n took the conversion rate from your post.

before you go uber-gay next time, you should note that i never said i knew the conversion rate:

i don't know the conversion rate

And you should also remember that my post you were referring to is almost a year old... conversion rates change you know

[Knight Templar]

But you said you thought it was at an eighty percent conversion rate.

And regardless of whether conversion rates changes, the amount of money spent remains constant you know. If the movie has been made already, then they aren't spending any more money, so conversion rates don't really matter. They still spent 240 mil HK, or ~200 Mil dollars, you know?

*sigh*

1)  I said

i don't know the conversion rate, but i think one hong kong dollar is like 80 american cents

 note the words "I don't know" and "I Think"...

2)  True, they spent HK$240mil at the time, but i'm not sure of the conversion rate.  I can't remember what i was thinking almost a year ago, but i'm sure when i made that post (with what i thought the conversion rate was) it had changed before that.  either way, the back of the VCD said that Hero cost $240,000,000.00 HK to make.  So i don't know what you're arguing with me about, conversion rate or not, it's a ****load of money, and i'm sure if you watch the movie, you'll understand why it cost so much money.

3)  What in the hell is up with you always taking an0n or Stryke's back when it's got nothing to do with you!?  If i'm arguing with an0n, realize that he doesn't need a 14 year old to jump in, OK?

4)  Now, whether you like it or not, I'm going to upload Hero, and people are going to download it, and watch it, and appreciate it, such as J3v6r and Maeglamor... so if you and an0n have nothing better to do than come here and criticize, i don't need it, so you're just wasting your time, got it?  kthx kid.

What the h**l? It's coming to theatres now? Yet I have seen it a long time ago.

A good movie by the way.
