    What?!?  No screening for critics?  Why not?  I'm sure there are those who are on the edge of their seats waiting for the release of this.  I can't believe they're not going to let anyone get an early peak and give an early review.  What could possibly be the reason for this?

    Variety reports:
    Which means those who want to see it opening night will have to brave those treacherous waters review-free. Of course, in 95% of cases, not screening a movie is the studio's way of admitting critics are sure to hate it -- usually because it's bad, occassionally because it's a genre, like horror, that critics rarely appreciate.

    All kidding aside, I'm sure this isn't much of a surprise.  I actually feel a little bad for Kristen Kreuk.  But not too much.  She really started annoying me on "Smallville."  Not sure if that was entirely her fault or the writers but whatever.  She made her choice to leave the show (thankfully) and pursue a "movie" career.  Good luck, babe.

    I posted this at Anime Vice the other day, here's some clips for it.  I find it entertaining in that it made me chuckle a few times.

    Good idea. Maybe now people won't be deterred by the 8% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes :l

    I saw the movie, and own the movie. Not because it was great in any way, but because I have this internet-crush on Kristin Kreuk. She is incredibly gorgeous. @_@ Anyway, the movie was bad. REAL bad. It's a little late to type this, especially since the movie came out, last year? Yeah. Kristin is making a good start on her movie career. Not every actor or actress has a repertoire of awesome movies, in fact, some have horrible movies under their belt, and often evolve from those into spectacular actors or actresses. Just look at Bruce Campbell.
     
    The story made no sense, the portrayals of characters made no sense, the fighting was average, and the graphics were poorly executed. In my honest, unbiased opinion (as well as the majority of watchers), this movie failed on practically everything.
