I didn't expect Michelle Yeoh-level stuntwork.
Kirsten looked convincing in the medium shots and closeups.
At least she wasn't worse than Ming-Na in the 1994 flick! (Cute, but terrible fighting skills!)
Currently, she's starring on the CW in the remake of the 1990s series Beauty and the Beast.
While I'm hoping it'll last, making the so-called "beast" a handsome guy with a scar and a temper instead of a creature who Catherine helps tame his beastly tendencies with her love indicates a serious lack of faith in the audience to accept a physically-unattractive, but intelligent and emotionally-open, man as a romantic lead the way fans of the original series did.
