I def gotta see it! Haven’t heard not one person say this was a bad movie!
I haven’t heard anything bad about this flick either Stoney!!! I’ll hafta wait and see it next week when I’m off. #BIEEM!!!
You know I already wrote my review so head on over to http://www.hollywoodliveandwork.com. And leave me a comment will ya? Show me some blog love? LOL Anyhoo I enjoyed it too. Jaden’s got that “it” factor. It appears he definitely put in work with the training AND the acting.
What did your mini-me think of the movie! She’s around his age right or older? And could you explain what you meant about this one attracting a different crowd? Kung Fu, Karate…I remember as a kid young boys watching the karate or Kung Fu movies and damn near breaking their necks trying to emulate what they saw, but it kinda all looks the same to me. So enlighten a sista.
It’s not a bad movie but definitely not something I’d recommend to anyone from my generation who saw the original. It brings nothing new. If you’re gonna do a remake, it’s gonna work in one of two ways, either because it’s meant for a new generation or because you bring a twist to it (The New Star Trek as an example). This Karate kid brings no twists so it’s for a new generation. Although not a bad movie, the pacing of it was much slower than the original and I would be hard pressed to suggest it for kids under a certain age who may get bored fast.
Lastly, why call it “The Karate Kid” if it’s about Kung Fu?!? That’s not paying hommage, that’s yet another lame attempt by Hollywood to cash in on something that worked in the past. They probably wanted to go for a big name to play the “Mr Miyagi” part and went with Jackie Chan. Problem is Chan is Chinese, not Japanse. Therefore the movie needed to be about Kung Fu. But hey, can’t miss out on drawing people in based on the original so let’s name it the Karate kid even tho it there’s no karate in it… Lame.
Planning to see it this weekend.
ON MY WAY TODAY…MAD I DIDN’T SEE IT OVER THE WEEKEND!!!!
Since I LOVED the original growing up it’ll b good to see what they did with it. Plan on taking my niece to see it this week being that lil Jaden is the draw LOL
Definitely was a great movie!! I must say this was a true and great remake….even though the story was pretty much the same as the first, this movie can definitely hold its own. Just like the original movie, this remake will be a cult classic among this generation.
Love it. I took my 5 year old daughter, now she want to see my Bruce Lee movies lol.
Went to see it twice already – PAID BOTH TIMES…..it was really great – I will be purchasing it when it comes out on DVD…
thnk ima check ths out
Love this movie! I cried twice
lol jaden is such a lil cutie and a god actor.
I simply LUV this movie!!! Took my lil buddha 2 C it Friday (opening day). On Sunday he was begging me 2 go C it again. I don’t mind giving The Smith’s sum more $ because Jaden is a STAR! What an awesome family movie.
i must say i really liked this movie…i never saw the original and im sure if i watched the orginal after ive seen the newest one that i would still like the new one better. jaden has a great future ahead of him, he is a great actor at such a young age.
