Excellent martial arts action, good characters

This is one of those "let's root for the underdog team", who have plenty of B dialogue and fun diversions. Give them some "help" from quirky friends. And don't overdue the menace factor (oh well, a bit am too much of the SMERSH and CHAOS merger. Plenty of violence and blood, but they obviously held back. This was a great beginning of a series, but I haven't figured out if it died. The formula was not novel at all but we still have to decipher who are the good gymuys, or even if there are any. Mean while how will this excessively good looking Asian male imbedded with super warrior technology and a winning personality and busting with empathy and honestly get by. Maybe his well balanced, funny, brave African American sidekick with visions of being a novelist and good father/husband will help. Don't miss unless Hollywood formula firms are too low brow. Otherwise this is a great family film with PG 13 kids perfect with popcorn , candy and drinks other than from a soda fountain.
