AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

treykrumel Even thought a remake of the original still very promising felt like it was pretty average for a movie that came out over 2 years ago overall worth to watch if you like remakes of popular movies.

Banning Sorry, The 1984 original was a classic. This version pales in comparison, Jackie Chan or no Jackie Chan. Script is not as solid. When you do a remake, there's more pressure to make it something fresh and original. This doesn't cut the mustard.

adonis98-743-186503 Work causes a single mother to move to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces kung fu, taught to him by a master. The Karate Kid is a remake like no other that pays it's respects to the Original film but on the same time it does things on it's own with new characters, a new setting and a new story as a whole. The chemistry between Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith is excellent and both gave 2 terrific performances and that scene in the car with Dre and Mr. Han was so moving and sad and Chan's dramatic skills once again come out and it's good seeing that from time to time he keeps delivering and choosing this kind of projects and this one did good to him plus Chan saying that he is nowhere near as good as Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) shows how kind and sweet of a person he is. Will Smith's son Jaden also gives a compelling and in my opinion sad and moving performance as 'The Karate Kid' and i also loved his scenes with Wenwen Han. The Soundtrack is also superb and excellent and the martial art sequences were a mix of Karate Kid meets Rocky. Overall this is an amazing remake that respects what the Original did but also tries to move on and do things on it's own without doing everything by Nostalgia and it's sad to see that so many people hated the film, just because some films are been remade that doesn't mean that all of the remakes will turn into another Ghostbusters and besides i think that both 1984 and 2010 versions are terrific and special in their own ways and i'm sure that some people will eventually see that with time. (A+)

michael-stenlund No spoilers is what I have to promise you here.This movie was a clear 10-out-of-10 because it carried all the ingredients that a true Kung Fu movie needs. It showed how life has kung-fu written all through it, and how strength does not come from our muscles, but it comes from the heart. The film portrays a young 12-year old boy from Detroit Michigan who moves to China with his mother. By showing this boy the formula for the kung fu religion, his teacher tells him the true story of his own life and how what he may have lost in life, made him a master in kung fu. This makes the boy, in turn, also become an eager learner because he too... loses something very valuable.And the story goes on from there.I have never seen a better kung fu movie in my life, and this in my honest opinion blew away the original because it brought back so many of the missing themes that the book has. This felt more like the book.I hope that some of you agree that rating this under a 10 is not acceptable. Life is Kung fu, live with the yin and yang or you do not live at all.
