MCT:June 19, 2008Hoffman fantastic as usual! You really get a feel for Bernie, (Hoffman), and could just strangle John Bubber! (Garcia) - Although he really is a great guy in this film. Geena Davis' acting was fine, nothing special but it wasn't horrible. The movie in itself was done well, it hit on some things that could have added a little bit to the plot, but other than that I will most definately be watching this again!

This is a pretty funny and good movie I must say. Great learning and intriguing. Dustin Hoffman plays a lowlife who happens upon a plane crash and rescues the passengers, but doesn't really care about the value of his deed or the attendant publicity when the media starts searching for the hero. Another fellow steps into the gap and claims credit, and as his life changes for the better he takes on a messianic glow.

It kind of pissed me off that Dustin Hoffman wasn't getting the credit for saving the lives and never does but it kept me watching.

An insignificant man becomes a hero, but then another man takes all the credit. This is a very interesting movie.

MCT:August 16, 2007I love anything with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia so this film was good for me. I had never heard of it and happened to stumble across it on television and was pleasantly surprised. It is fun story with both comedy and drama and I believe it is a true gem.

MCT:August 3, 2007I seem to recall really not liking this when I saw it in the theatres. Not sure why... Don't think I liked any of the performances, nor the story.

Hero is pure Hollywood, and is the very best of what Hollywood means, or meant at the time. The plot is clever, the writing is witty, the characters are interesting, and the acting is decent (Dustin Hoffman is great). The development is not meant to expose new subtleties of human emotion, but rather strongly to evoke obvious ones -- in this case, pride. In other words, it is meant to make you happy. That is not to say that the audience is barraged with heavy-handed judgments, merely that it does not require a degree in theater to like the film. It is interesting enough to be enjoyable after several viewings, but not subtle enough to require serious study.
Hero is perfect for the intelligent moviegoer who wants to watch a film for fun, and that is the context in which it should be understood. Personally I find this a very good satire, that has actually a good point. In their search for sensational, touching news, TV stations will do really everything and seem to forget that the most important thing is still reality. If you are looking for a good comedy, with some fine acting and a good story, than this movie is really something you should try. -

decent enough, hoffman and garcia rule the film just wanted geena davis to suffer sudden catatonia for the majority of the film her comatosied is sure to increase the viewablity of a film right? (wait is viewablity even a real word....pff like i give a fuck if it isn't. Well it is now cos i said it is! )

I loved this film. Some parts of it were really funny even though they were meant to be serious. "Where's my shoe?"
-
MCT:July 23, 2007This movie has a shit moral. The fraud doesnt get uncovered by the public and the real hero is still thought of as a cynic. Bullsh*t.

i thought it was quite a good movie the storyline could have been better but i think that the casting worked well together and i think that Dustin Hoffman had the best performance because he made the movie what it was and made the movie funny with his snardy comments and one liners you cant beat

The characters in this movie were plastic. They spoke without purpose and had about as much charisma as a loaf of bread.

Funny, well acted, a decent story, and certainly the best among all the trash that came out in 1992.

MCT:March 5, 2007This is one of the funniest movies I've seen and enjoyed. It doesn't have a stupid concept! It proves that everyone, even the people who refuse to be, can be heros. This is great everyone should watch it

decently watchable. liked the role of de nero as the guy who wouldn't be a hero but is, and then his buddy takes the credit while he's in prison. definitely worth watching.

I liked this. Intelligent and thought provoking, Hoffman's almost Ratso like character spotlights the fact that most heroic actions are not performed by noble, square-jawed heroes as in the movies, but ordinary people who just don't turn their back when needed. The satirical spin on the story is very clever, the media and public requiring the noble, square-jawed hero in the shape of Andy Garcia to fulfil their own image of what a hero SHOULD be. Geena Davis is rubbish as usual though (onions??)

This was an accidental (pun intended) rental a LONG while back...I remember really enjoying it! I'd like to see it again also...

This is one of those quiet films that you can't help but fall in love with. You have to watch it a few times to get into it, but it is worth it!

Excellent movie about a lowlife (Dustin Hoffman), who saves people from a plane crash, but disappears from the scene before he can be identifyed. Another man claims the credit, while the man himself ignored publicity, but can he escape it for long...?
