Trailer

Amazingly, it doesn't look any better than I thought it would.

You guys have bailed out banks, insurance companies, automakers, car financing companies, and the milk industry so far. But just to be safe, the line stops there right? No bailout for Hollywood companies, correct?

ETA: Trailer looks better in Japanese... [Smile]

And only half Chinese.

<sigh>

It's really hard to care about the outcomes of fights where everyone fights like a video game. Unless, of course, there are actual game controllers involved.

Wimpy little Lana Lang is supposed to be believable as a video game martial artist?

Oy. /rolleyes.

Heh. You know, I didn't even recognize her?

Technically, Canada actually has many Chinese Canadians which comprise a much higher percentage of the population than in the States.

If I were to cast an English-speaking Chinese actor for a role this would not be a bad place to start and in fact a decent number of actors have made this transition back to Hong Kong and China from Canada (or the States).

That said, Lana Lang obviously doesn't look Chinese and its kinda silly. (Although I would hardly want to sink a Chinese actor's career by saddling them with this movie)
