The Karate Kid

  As an Asian, I went into the theater expecting to see a poorly made film that would perpetuate a common stereotype. But, the plot was handled delicately and the stereotype became an inspiration with principles applicable to our everyday lives. I loved the movie and Jaden Smith was nothing short of amazing. The talent of that boy is in his blood. Nicely done!

  It was a good movie...it kept me chuckling...only thing was he didn't learn karate...he learnt kung fu! Two totally different styles of fighting! Karate originated in Japan, kung fu is Chinese.

  amazing movie

  LoVe It!!!!!!!!!!! BeTtEr ThAn FrIsT

  this movie is awsome

  As a Karate instructor of a Chinese based style I thought the movie was great. Jackie Chan was perfect in this role and he was a pleasant surprise. V.S. Can.

  i can watch it 100 time more. it was crazy

  Excellent remake of a great movie! Loved, loved it. Everyone in the theatre, young and old gave a standing ovation at the end of it. Will definitely recommend it!!! Great job.

  I find it funny how all of the negative reviews so far, have nothing to do with the what the movie is about. I am a fan of the original Karate Kid movies, and I can say this one is as good, if not better, than those ones. This was the first time I've seen Jackie Chan in a purely dramatic role and he drew tears to my eyes. I thought Jaden Smith played his role very well, it was very down-to-earth and realistic. By the way, it should be called "Kung Fu Kid". ;) 5-stars

  You can describe this remake in one word..."blah". It's not as awful as the A-Team, but it's pretty avaerage all around. Maybe interesting to kiddies 12 and under.
