Extraordinary movie!
Excellent movie, Will Smith's son is surprisingly good.
The story of this movie is very corny and full of cliches. The young protagonist is too young and should not have been cast. It takes out the realism. The chinese scenery and the foray of world karate is interesting least. Overall, Mediocre.
Good movie for the family, as long as the kids aren't too young. My husband still prefers the original, which is odd, considering he's a huge Jackie Chan fan. I liked it, but thought the fights were a little too real.
Definitely did a feat that is nearly impossible; Improve on perfection; this movie will win your heart over. Jackie Chan's acting was well done and young Jaden Smith will win your heart with his performance. Move over Dad, "Will Smith" your son' s acting career may rise way beyond yours and dam-it your are so good too. Go see this new Karate Kid; you won't be disappointed.
Jaden Smith I thought worked hard in this movie. The scenery was beautiful. Same story line left no mystery.
ordinary
Jaden smith really worked hard on his Karate,and that really shows, and I see a lot of potential in him. The scenery is beautiful but honestly the movie is dull, my 8 yr old fell asleep while watching it.
I loved the original Karate Kid, but found that Smith's performance was mediocre in this version.
Karate Kid was the best movie I've ever seen!
