I find it funny how all of the negative reviews so far, have nothing to do with the what the movie is about. I am a fan of the original Karate Kid movies, and I can say this one is as good, if not better, than those ones. This was the first time I've seen Jackie Chan in a purely dramatic role and he drew tears to my eyes. I thought Jaden Smith played his role very well, it was very down-to-earth and realistic. By the way, it should be called "Kung Fu Kid". ;) 5-stars
You can describe this remake in one word..."blah". It's not as awful as the A-Team, but it's pretty avaerage all around. Maybe interesting to kiddies 12 and under.
Great movie!!
The series has hit a new low.
Ok for anyone who has the desency to care the kid has years of martial arts experience and is actually a high ranked martial artist in reality and he was probably chosen to be in the movie because of his skill and maturity so stop baggin on te kid just because he is living a much more fulfilling life than you losers who say he sucks becuase he is a very skillful and mature young individual
Loved Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith and it was very cool to see parts of China.
it is a great movie
How can you hate this kid hes just a kid so stop hating, anyways the time he spent training he was learning kung-fu to fight good in the movie.
Really good.
Are you kidding me... the only way this kid got cast was because mommy and daddy produced the film otherwise he wouldn't have even been considered. Now take some of that $ and take YEARS of acting classes.
