Now, I&#8217;ve said it before on this blog, being an Asian-American, I&#8217;m okay with the casting in this movie. I won&#8217;t get into the hows and whys I&#8217;m okay with it. I already wrote about it. BUT casting aside? I&#8217;m a little worried, let me tell you why&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>See, my birthday is coming up. Why do I mention that? Well, typically, any movie that I&#8217;ve been excited for that&#8217;s come out on or around my birthday has typically SUCKED.<\/p>\n<p>And though there looks to be some awesome action in the clip, and some awesome effects too&#8230; just something about it makes me a little worried that it&#8217;s gonna suck. I hope I&#8217;m wrong. I realize I&#8217;m seeing this clip at a fraction of what it&#8217;ll be on screen, and I&#8217;m gonna go see it&#8230; BUT definitely a little worried now.<\/p>\n<p>BUT what did you think?
