Movies with very strong characters(magical, martial arts, etc.)

Hello, again XD. I am looking for movies similar to Avatar: The Last Airbender(the cartoon). It doesn't have to be a movie about the four elements. I'm just looking for those movies with very strong characters, characters that are treated like gods just like how they treat Aang. Something like, "If ever he/she awakes, the world will change." or, "Everyone fears him". Sorry, can't seem to find the proper describing word here ><. Country of origin doesn't matter, nor the period setting. Thanks! *edit* Oh, another similar movie would be Harry Potter

Up~~~

Hero 2002 Chinese film 13 Assassins 2010

Thanks for the recommendations, especially the movie ones! I'll also try to see those historical drama suggestions, but first I should get over my mentality of historical dramas.
