Honestly, what killed it for me was seeing the Ridely clip online, but NOT Samus's freakout. No, the tipping point was right before that.
Badasses do not gasp like that. It was stupid seeing characters do it in otherwise excellent shows like Gargoyles and Batman the Animated Series, and it's stupid here.
I had trepidations already, but seeing that the writers were going for such hack characterization made me realize they were not going to do her justice. Seeing the other cut scenes just confirmed that for me (listen to her monologes and then watch some clips from the Twilight movies, she and Bella talk the same way).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
