It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This one was one my favourite movies in my teenage years. It completely resembles the thoughts that go through a teenager's head, jealousy, anger, self doubt, hate. I would like to label this movie as the modern Karate Kid because it really works that way, only with Martial Arts instead of Karate, plus the violence is way more intense. It really deservers more fame and respect that in got in it's prime, but at least we got a sequel, so that is enough to be happy about it's succes. The actors are all well chosen, especially the main guy and the antagonist who has the most negative face you could see in a negative role. All in all, at least 7/10

I don't know about the critics but I love this film. the quality of action, and filmography is really great. I also loved the way its story progresses and gradually develop each character. also the dialogs between Jake and his coach is thoughtful. the interesting part of this film is that each moment is enjoyable, not for a single moment I felt that it is going slow. I loved the screenplay and the message that everyone has their own fight, you must carry on the struggle. the final action scene is really awesome and it gives us the message about having peace in the mind. The ultimate message that the film provides us is we can't hide from our problems we need to face those and fight. Finally the ending scene left me with an awe. I love this film. I am really surprised to see this that the film got poor feedback from critics who can praise films like "hunger games" so heart-fully

Well, before i start i would say i was a fat guy who never workout and all that, my weight was about 85 kilograms and about 35% of body fat, when i was 15 i watched this movie and it makes me look at life other way, i mean i've been start training hardly for a year and a half now and hell yea the result came of course now i'm 64 kilos and 9% of body fat, my life is pretty much full of training and the first motivation i've gain is this movie, so people who tell you this movie is bad or something else ignore it, when i saw this movie and the first time(i think i watched it about 10 times or even more) i started to some push up and noticed i cant do even 5, and then i saw in the movie how Mike trained hard and so i began trying harder and harder and go to the gym and start working hard, and then i start make my nutrition healthy and from there i just start to grow and get bigger, trust me this movie is a must!

Never an original moment...Never great acting...Never again. This movie was so predictable from the very start to the end. It was a slightly older "Karate Kid" kind of flick. The main character was such an easy target. The antagonist may as well have called the main character "chicken." That was enough to bait him into a fight. Amber Heard's character was the usual ridiculous blonde chick love interest who is so vapid you could practically see "vacancy" signs behind her eyes. Djimon Hounsou is usually cool to watch, but his Mr. Miyagi was lacking and that whole story line of how this kid teaches him to re-connect to his family was utterly ridiculous. The only redeeming parts to this film were the fight scenes, even though they were heavily choreographed and had the typical hero- gets-beat-up-throughout-the-fight-and-despite-his-many- injuries wins in the end theme. So, there ya go.
