Agreed. But I gotta say Firefly was a badass. I'd rather have Destro through. That shit still makes no sense.

It was distracting to me that he shows up for 15 minutes in the middle of the fucking movie. Leaves and then shows up again for the last 40 minutes.

At this point shit got so absurd, I openly embraced RZA's bad acting cause he was giving it his all and you can tell. And I must add that whole part was rushed as fuck. And Jinx's introduction was weak for a major character. "Snake Eyes. I know you don't trust her...". Um what?

I doubt it. Once word gets out about how shitty the 3D is, the sales are gonna mostly come from 2D.
