She needs time, but may turn out to be awesome.

Fight scenes at her stage are generally limited to one or two moves, then a cut. Real figthing is almost similar: Move, move, reset.

As she gets more comfortable with the concept, you will see longer and better sequences. Kind of like how many dancing actors evolved in the 30'sd and 40's.

Check the early movies of any of your favorite fight scene performers and, in general, you will see this trend.

I don't blame Gina Carano for the shortcomings of the fight sequences. First and formost I blame the cinematography and editing. It showed the fights for what they were, staged fights. second I blame the fight choreography. I have no doubt that under the right conditions Gina Carano would be an awesome action actress. She certainly needs to work on her acting chops but she did quite well IMO for someone who has never acted before.

Gina Carano was not an issue.
- Yeah, Steve Soderbergh is such a crummy cinematographer and editor, AS. Righto! nt - tinear 13:08:45 02/01/12 (1)

    Sex Lies and Video Tape, The Limey, Traffic...all terrfic movies. So yes he does have talent. But he misses as much as he hits. This time IMO he missed. Just like he did on Solaris, Contagion, The informant....
    
    Bottom line is everytime a film maker puts something out it has to stand on it's own. previous credits don't polish turds.
    
    Spielberg did Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Schindler's List etc.
    
    War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones IV still sucked.
