The Martial Arts Kid

This is the most silliness movie ever , acting is very poor and I don't know what were they thinking while filming this nonsense , the only thing that was good is the car *yeah there is a cool car in the movie* apart from that car nothing is worth watching , just some human being with very poor ability to act are jumping and screaming.

These types of movies always make me wonder. First of all you go in to these no names with low expectations so that's a good safe guard. They get so much yet they ruin all their hard work with lazy acting pieces and poor acting cues. So much of this movie was a surprise one min only to be undone by the next scene. Some great training one on one moments with don the dragon Wilson. The lead actor Robbie showed a lot of promise.

I've been a fan of Don "The Dragon" Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock for a long time and when I heard about this film, I was quite excited. They were perfectly cast as Glen and Cindy, a couple who take in troubled nephew Robbie and soon become his mentors in the martial arts when he is bullied.

The film does convey its anti-bullying message, but in a way, the film also changes the way people may perceive martial arts as a whole and that is what also stands out between Wilson's Glen and T.J. Storm's Coach Kaine. Their differences of opinions as to how martial arts should be conveyed is truly personified not only by them but by Robbie and Kaine's student Bo, who is the one who bullies Robbie.

Jansen Panettiere and Matthew Ziff really break out in the film as they did great jobs in their roles of Robbie and Bo respectively. Plus if you are a martial arts fan, you will see most of the cast is comprised of martial artists with some legends of the field and world champions playing themselves as mentors.

This truly is marketed towards the family and speaking not only as a film fan, but as a parent as well, this is one that is suitable for families and is a break away from your generalization of martial arts films. Definitely worth checking out!

Awful acting, rip-off story of Karate Kid, poor direction. Your eyes and ears will burn from the crappiness of this "film" Give it a HUGE skip.

This film helps bring to light bullying. It hs some mature fight scenes and I recomend this film to kids 10 and up. With some of the tradgedies that happen in schools tied to bullying this is a film to watched.
