Cheesy...with abundant negative subliminal racial messages

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2013)

Movies are just supposed to be harmless fun, so yeah, there'll always be some negative racial messages. Hell, I enjoyed Aunt Madea, Norbit, Ping-Pong Playa, and even Borat.
But this one is just a bit distasteful. Its racial messages toward Caucasian-Japanese people is a bit too overt that it's uncomfortable to watch.
* And 45-year-old looking white guy (sure, wolverine is practically ageless, but you get the idea) hooking up with a 23-ish Japanese gal. In fact, this movie is mostly about a white dude protecting 2 really young Asian gals from "the evil Japanese men," who are scums, 90% of the time.
* The Japanese guys in this movie are womanizing scumbags who treats women terribly 95+% of the time. And when they have any type of "semi-romantic" interaction with "white women," (lol) they are either killed or nearly killed. No exception. The message here is amusing: "A 45 year old white guy can hook up with an young Asian gal half his age, but an Asian guy approaching a white woman will be lynched."
* The whole "mysterious oriental stuff" of taking a vow to honor @#$^ is really, really, cheesy. I personally have a couple of Japanese friends and know that is a gross misrepresentation.
Of course, the above things are a recurring theme in Hollywood, so they are nothing new. But if they are to be used in a movie, they must be used subtly and sparingly. Otherwise, it makes the movie distasteful.
