The Karate Kid

I didn't expect much from this remake, so it really surprised me with how moving and tense I found it to be. Jaden Smith is really charismatic, and Jackie Chan is a long-time household favorite. It's lovely to see him as the calm, wise teacher instead of the frenetic comedian. Having much of the film in Mandarin increased the tension for us, because like "Dre", we don't always know what's going on. Bonus: there's a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" during the tournament that makes a good backdrop for the action. At least I think it was a cover. Anyway, it was good.

Honestly, it’s close to a masterpiece. The film has a great plot, two fantastic lead actor performances, good pacing, amazing action sequences, and superb writing and directing. This movie has not received the respect it deserves due to it sharing a name with the original series. If it had been named something else the film would have been an instant classic. I love the 1984 original as well but the truth is that this film may be ever better.

Got me to tears near the end, when he was in the bed all hurt. Absolutely relatable movie, recommendation for everyone to watch!!!

Directed by Jonh.G Avildson. The main caractère is a boy . He And his mother are going to leave their country to the Japon . The boy is going to integrate but japonesse children are bad with them . The plot seens to be absorbing because they is going to discovers a new country . The spécials effects are stunning And brillant , the photography are incredible. The performance of the main caractere is beautifull because he going to chock everyone. Généraly this film is amazing , I recommend this film to anyone who loves fights ans loves. If you haven’t seen it , you are going to miss something.

May not be as good as the original, but it worth a watch, is good

Not as good as the original as well very different in not a good way they also do kung fu so way is it called karate kid? I just don’t like it

Yuck! Just NO!! Awful in every way. Jaden Smith is not a good actor at all, and everything else is dull and predictable. The cinematography and Jackie Chan are the only things redeemable. Jaden Smith isn't even good enough to lick Ralph Macchio's boots

One of the “remakes for remakes sake”. Watch the original instead and actually enjoy the movie.

While this firm tries to cash in with celebrities, the storyline is a cheap ripoff of the original movie. There are no memorable moments between the teacher and student. Unlike the chemistry between Daniel and Mr Miyagi had in the 1984 movie. It lacks authenticity of the characters' mutual respect for each other. I would watch the original movie over this rehashed version.

Amazing movie with amazing fight scenes. This is a great remake
