Karate Kid ... with jackie chan...

[thereisnoyun]

I have to say, this is one very disappointing remake.

In the original, it was about a white boy learning to fight from an ancient Japanese Master aka mr. myagi. So all those other white boys was learning from a sensei that has went off on the deep end and didtn know martial arts...

In this one they are in china, and some how... this black kid of detriot is able to beat every single one of these kids who grew up doing kung fu. All he had was a couple month... not even plausible.

For all those that havent seen the movie... if you watch the original karate kid... every single scene and plot, just plot in the white boy with a black kid, and mr. myagi with jackie chang then you have the whole entire movie. scene by scene is a replication of the original.

WTF super unoriginal remake, and just wildly unbelievable.

Absolutely no desire to see this movie. Will smith and his wife are quite enjoyable to watch on television and on the big screen, but their son, not at all. Danny Crane.

Dad and mom wanted to make their kid an actor. So they offered him a movie. The kid is a brat, dad is Will Smith, mom is Jada Pinkett. They are the producers (the guys with the mullah). Damn, I wouldn't have liked to be the director of that flick.

The brat is The Simpson's Sidekick Bob in the picture below.

That kid is also Will Smiths kid. That alone turns me off to watching it.

I'll probably wait until DVD if I see it. I was never really into the Karate Kid franchise.

it was OK.

decent fight scenes for a movie geared towards children. Obviously it was going to be a pretty close remake of the original, but the children who watch it, probably never saw the first one.

other than that, what was going to happen was very predictable, but an enjoyable flick, and it probably will spike the martial arts business a bit, which is never a bad thing.

id give it a 6/10

Last week, I caught on TV a female version of Karate Kid: "The next karate kid" shot in 1994 with the same Japanese master but with a teenage Hilary Swank. I watched only for Hilary. She was about 16... Dirty old me.
