Karate Kid

Before watching this movie, I read the reviews online and there has been a harsh division between 1 and 10 rating.

Honestly, this movie does not deserve a 1 or a 10, whether it is: Acting, Cinematography, Music, or Story.

Objectively, I think this movie is worth watching. Definitely not the worst, but not the best. Its content is interesting and is a visible step above the original Karate Kid, even though this movie does not feel like a remake (so stop comparing >0).

The movie entertained and left me with a satisfied reminiscence of the experience.

While this reboot is not as good as the original Karate Kid, it should have been called; "Kung Fu Kid", Jackie Chan as Mr Han is a decent performance, although this is the only Karate Kid movie that still hasn't gotten a sequel, it's still in development it's just taking a long time to make. Overall I'm giving this one a 6/10 ;)

For me this film is underrated and I think better than the original karate kid movies and yes I have seen them. It has comedy, drama, romance, but more importantly emotional connection to the main characters. You really do feel for them when hearing and seeing their stories. good film!

Saw the 2010 The Karate Kid last night. It was pretty decent, but I gotta say it is NOT as good as the original. Pat Morita owned that role of trainer/mentor/friend. I admire Jackie Chan for his skill as a martial artist, and he can be funny sometimes, but if you compare between the two, it's hands-down Mr. Miyagi. :)

There was nothing wrong with this version, and the relationship between Dre and Mr. Han was good. There was just something really meaningful about Daniel and Mr.Miyagi's bond. Maybe it could be that Jaden Smith is a lot younger than Ralph Macchio was in the main role and has a little less experience or maturity, I'm not sure.

Or it could possibly be that the original was for my generation and this latest one is for the next generation, which was the purpose for the remake in the first place.

There are too many harsh reviews in regards to this movie. Had to express it a little better.

As other reviews said, this should be called "The Kung Fu" kid. It's a remake of "The Karate Kid" but with with Asia culture in it & humor.

The acting was in fact "cheesy" not gonna lie. Especially, Jaden Smith. I think he still fit the role pretty well. Without him, there would be no comedy. Jackie Chan fit the role pretty well too.

What I really enjoyed was seeing Asian Culture & Kung Fu itself. I learned about Kung Fu mountain (scene where the monks meditated & did Tai Chi). Without this movie, I wouldn't haven't known or wanting to visit there.

All in all, it wasn't That bad. I think people just had too high expectations & is harshly comparing to the first Karate Kid.

Yes, the Title could be a little "misleading". But Hollywood did need to add a different flavor to the remake & they did "just that".
