Where is she getting the idea that Matt Damon's character is there to save the Chinese people? I'm not getting that at all from the trailer. And on top of that, it isn't even a Hollywood production, it's a Chinese one.

Not to mention part of the story is that they bring in the two British generals to help. It's not like they are cast as Chinese. I guess multiculturalism is bad now?

Looks like it.

It's going to be shit anyway.

Why? it's a Chinese production with a suck ass Chinese Director.

The CGI is going to be horrible, the Chinese actors are going to be bad, hell, imo the only saving grace is Matt Damon and I'm a slant eye, he is my fucking hero. I saw him grow from an actor trying to be comparable to the great Robin Williams to making me vomit watching his shakey cam.

The amount of good movies produced by China in the last 20years can be counted on hand, this will not be one of them.

Also Oberyn is here, so theres that!

She needs to rail at the chinese movie viewers if she has a complaint. This is basically a case of token white big named actor to make a chinese film seem like a block buster.

Hmm comes out in less than 2 weeks.
Didn't know Matt Damon did a movie about a bunch of immigrants trying to overcome a wall. Trailer I caught looked good.
