How many action movies in the past few years, that came out during the first few months, were good? Most of the movies were okay. Let's give a few examples: Daredevil (it was better on uncut dvd) Elektra (first 10 mins or so were good) Catwoman Jumper (could've been sooo much better) Mortal Kombat 2 (if it didn't come out in the beginning of the year, it should've) So what I'm saying it this movie isn't going to be a blockbuster, but might be worth a matinee... the good stuff comes out around May. well… you gotta think of it like this.

She really does look the part though. I am going to trust that Kristin is going to suprise us by her performance just because I love that they are centering this movie on Chun-Li she was always my favorite street fighter character. I think that maybe they should dye her hair a little lighter though It looks a bit too dark. Chun-Li's hair always had a brown sheen to it.

Superman is from space, he is an alien, sci fi threats are bound to follow. putting brainiac on the show was the best decision ever, and personally i think the show gets better with each season. But back to the point, because you don't look the part, doesn't mean you can't play the part, and it's about time she moved out of her comfort zone, but i must say i was surprised she took the part, she seems too intelligent to play a buff anime chick.

She has some background in gymnastics and has a purple belt in karate. What exactly are you "yuck!"-ing for?? 2. Don't pre-judge a movie just like you don't a person. And no one has to save anyone's eyes. It's the owner's responsibility to do that. 3. Yes, you're the moron. Saying "most importantly" three times without even knowing what the hell they're talking about! I agree with Brit. Kristin's a very good actress. And she can kick ass, Peter! You haven't seen enough Smallville! And for Pete's sake, she can play different roles / different shows! Artboi

On the other hand screaming racism at someone who simply mis-judges someones descent by their looks is equally narrow minded. It would be nice if everyone never pre-judged, it would also be nice if nobody ever incorrectly pulled the racism card. Anyway, back onto the subject. Kristin's father is of Dutch descent and her mother of Chinese Descent though born in Indonesia... and is very beautiful for it too. I disagree that she's a poor actress and would be saddened if she read these early comments regarding her latest part that all appear to slate her. She's a very good actress and has proven this through her prior work. I'm pleased for her that she's landed this part, wish her every success for the future. I hope that she sinks her teeth into this part and many others in the future and prooves each of you wrong.

I'm the MORON! The fact of the matter is this, "I don't watch Smallville." "I don't even know who the heck Kristen Kruek is." By face I'll recognize her, but by name, NO. You can ridicule me all you want but you'll just have to get over it. I never knew she was asian because I don't pay enough attention to her to even recognize it. Racism here? No. Your assumptions, plenty of those. Enjoy your movie, but it won't be receiving any money from my pocket. Me! I’m the MORON!
