How can this site give the same grade for this and KUNG FU YOGA? The KFY title alone should have warranted a D.

No, I'm not. Someone posted on a forum two months ago that they watched the test screening for the movie. I didn't believe them then. But they described a scene where Matt Damon's character was trying to prove he was better than them in the banquet hall and it actually appeared in the trailer. So yeah… they were test…

Well, darn. Internet commenter Battlestar Compactic's opinion is the only opinion that matters.

They already screen tested this for people and they said Matt is lead and all the Chinese actors got shafted regarding screentime. Matt is the focus of the movie and he's the hero of the movie.

It's comments like this that make me realize that people are still so largely ignorant about countries that aren't theirs.

It's not whitewashing but it's not great either to have a white guy come save the day for what seems to be a battle the Chinese have been fighting for centuries according to the trailer.

You forgot that this story is lead by white men and written by white men,

He used to be.

I believe you're ignoring the white savior aspect of all this which is actually the bigger issue. Someone already watched the screen test for this movie and they said Matt Damon's character was made out to be the savior and better than the Chinese characters in combat which is why he's the one who leads them to…

As someone who follows Chinese entertainment, this is not true. Matt Damon is still marketed as lead in China.

You're acting like Avatar is a quality film.
