Thread: Did anyone else hate that dumb kid Jason?

Started 1 year ago by carolynko2000
Or to be more accurate, hate that Michael was even put in this movie. It totally ruined the movie. It was so cheesy and the movie was hard to watch. I couldn't help but cheer for the bad guys when they were beating him up. The character wasn't likable at all and it was hard to even sympathize with him.

Yes. Horrible character, and textbook bad fanboy writing.

Why did they have a Caucasian boy be the hero? Everybody else was East Asian. I think that in the middle of the movie somewhere, there should've been the line: What's wrong with your skin? Because evidently no one really pointed out he looked different besides saying he wasn't Chinese. Evelyn: You're wondering, "What is a place like me doing in a girl like this?"

well he's the traveler so i guess its natural for people from distant lands to not look like the locals, but why him eww, he has that super recessed chin looks like hes about to cry I can't be calm! Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm the "Master of the Mechanical Stuff"!

The monk did say to Lu yan "He cant be the chosen one, hes not chinese"

That happened like after a really long time. It was like Lu Yan didn't notice. Evelyn: You're wondering, "What is a place like me doing in a girl like this?"

I couldn't stand him. I only watched this film for Jackie and Jet and he was just annoying!

ugh. i was coerced into watching this last night. i enjoy a fun martial arts movie and i love jet li, but this was awful, largely due to that kid. painful script and thin plot didn't help either. i think maybe they wanted someone Shia LeBouf-ish and this is what they got. i mean, at least be cute, jeez!

Lu Yan also said. "So what? we're all the same on the inside" So he did notice, he just didnt care.

No, there was no reason for Jason to be the chosen one, other than Hollywood decided to put some white kid fanboy in an epic Asian story. If Hollywood was smart, the least they could have done was what was done with The Neverending Story, had the white kid read a story about the Monkey King with the main character an Asian kid from a Asian tribe, bu no Hollywood had to go the racist route.

Umm yeah, a group of violent men made him get the old man to open the door so they could rob the place. Very few people under that kind of duress would try to play hero. Its not a sign of cowardice. They weren't all that violent. Even a token show of defiance on the kid's part would have been enough to gain him some audience/my sympathy but he gave nothing, he knew they meant harm to the weak and kindly old man but he just lead them...

Ya, he was totally dumpy. They could have at least picked someone who looked good... or was fit, or something.

I liked Michael Angarano and I liked his character. Without Jason, the movie would have been pointless; no character development.
