So much average
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Desperate try from Will to make a career for his son.
This is such a poor movie that could have been so much better. I watched it only because I am such a big fan of Jackie Chan and his obvious professionalism and gentlemenllyness that he always shows on and off screen. I despise the blatantly obvious for real spoilt behavior, that never changes, that Jaden Smith brings to the screen. His mom and dad should be ashamed that their child acts this way on and off screen. You can definitely tell that Will Smith used Jackie Chan for favors to get this made, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree there and unfortunately you can read that attitude throuout the whole movie and unfortunately the plot does nothing to remedy that behavior, how can it when the parents, writer, producer, director, etc promote that behavior.
If you've seen "The Karate Kid" (1984), the memories will come back during this 2010 remake. That's a compliment. The original story was durable enough to inspire three sequels, and now we have an entertaining version filmed mostly on location in China, with 56-year-old Jackie Chan in the role of Mr. Miyagi.The original was one of its year's best movies. The new one lacks the perfect freshness of that one. There is a website called https://which- martialarts.com/ which definitely will help those who want to train selfdefence and don't know which martial art to choose, find the right one.The movie is definitely recommendable.
Eye-bleedingly awful! This abomination ranks up there with other remakes of movies such as The Jungle Book, Arthur, The A Team and Rollerball, etc. But it happened and Hollywood got rich and the audiences got duped... AGAIN!The story: A horrible and annoying black woman takes her little girl to China. The wee lass meets a creepy, sullen old man and in a bizarre turn of events, she gets entered into a Kung Fu competition even though she's never done a day of martial arts training in her life. Despite the diminutive doll getting a really good beating, the mother is on the sidelines laughing it up and hollering her support. In the end, the girl stands on one foot and beats her enemy and all the odds.The story is backed up by hilarious, comedy fight scenes and frankly bizarre musical numbers... including a bastardization of a Stevie Wonder classic. Dr Dave Bowman and Hal had more chemistry than any of the insipid morons in this crap-fest and Hal was a computer!If you're suicidal and need that extra push to get the job done, watch this!UPDATE: It turns out that the little girl was, in fact, a little boy. Oops!
