Not a fan of this remake. Not “hating” but some things should just never be. The 1984 original was ill but the subsequent follow-ups pretty much drove the novelty of the idea into the ground. Where the first relied on a “pure at heart” energy, I can see this one rolling along on Hollywood’s usual schitck of CGI and dull sarcasm. Rolling right along to the bank because I know my kids will have me in the theaters to watch in July. But, I just will not be comfortable with Jackie Chan, sporting a thin, Vietnamese style mustache, sharply saying “jack-et off” to a small kid. Enh…creepy..
If there’s any greater good to be taken from the film, assume that Jaden Smith just insured the family’s accounts for several more generations. Nepotism and Hollywood keeping dad happy landing the kid the role? Perhaps. But when dad is a leading man (and he gets a check as producer as well), Hollywood did what it had to do (See: James Cameron getting $500m to do Avatar).

nothing “KARATE KID” about this joint, Jackie Chan is far from Japanese.
LMAO “Jacket-off” I like it though the film looks good
This is garbage on so many levels. Why Hollywood likes to open themselves up to automatic “negative” reviews and backlash is beyond me.
Oh yeah Gotty:
Karate Kid Part II >>>>>
I agree that sometimes it’s best to leave the legend alone.
But aside from that, it looks like a straight movie and I’m sure I’ll end up seeing it somehow.
They changed the name from the “kung fu kid”? although, as a chinese person, i’m mad happy that we’re not going to be associated with this piece of shit.
I agree with the creepiness! Matter of fact a little black dude hangin with a Asian cat with a thin mustasch ??? HAHAHA!!That said Jaden could probly whoop Daniel-san’s ass with them Gung Fu techniques Jackie showin him!
and after watching the trailer…even more of a tragedy how fucked up hollywood is. they got the kid in beijing, running on the great wall…and it’s karate?
look, i’d understand if this was the 80s or even the 90s, but it’s damned near 2010, plus we got wikipedia.
c’mon, son. © Ed Lover
They got Riley Freeman playing the Karate Kid?!!
Where’s Huey?!
lol, i was gonna use a Riley joke but it was just too damn easy.
Will’s kid is too young to play the karate kid, Ralph Macchio was 22 years old when the first one dropped lol.
Pain does not exist in this Dojo , Does it?!
No, Sensay!!!
Fear does not exist in this Dojo , Does it?!
No, Sensay!!!
HAHAHA!! Classic!
they really do need to do a boondocks movie before he cuts his hair though. You can’t fault Jaden though, he’s his father’s son
As we are older, I am sure we have different insight, but I can see this relating to issues within urban communities. I am most definitely sure this will be good for the kids, instead of those racy PG-13 movies.
So they remade karate kid 2 IN CHINA. go figure
looks good to me
i dont know why they dont just
give these movies orginal names though
than people wouldnt criticize it
so much and try & compare it to the
movies back in the day
lol he look’s like Riley but will would never let him play Riley in a million years lol. Too much “agressive content” ha…
Get off yall’s nerd soap box and just have some fun. This shit looks cool for kids, and I won’t mind catching it. Snobby ass nerds ruin everything haha
BTW Will would never let his seed near anything having to do with the Boondocks
The kids will enjoy it. Myself, pass.
Garbage. Hollywood is seriously devoid of original thinkers, creative writers, or both.
All they do is replicate old movies or cartoons and badly at that.
Kill the live action Boondocks noise before it gets outta hand. Somethings are just made to stay cartoons. That would replay as badly as Masters of the Universe w/ Dolph Lundgren as He-Man.
‘sumthin so the kids will start jumpin up and down sharing candy and shit’
looks cute….
But they could have just done this by a different name rather than trying to recreate something pure from my child hood jeeze!
Horrible trailer (lame lines, typical music and subtitles), but just looking at the shots used (I think the director might be onto something) and Jackie’s effort, it looks like it’ll be solid. Somehow, the Karate Kid looks even MORE kiddy, but at least the kids should like it. Seems like Jaden’s put in work with the stunts as well.
hi all , good trailer, will smith’s son looks to be walking the path of his father. can anyone tell me the song in the trailer, its really good
thanks
I really like the Avatar 3D film, particularly the story line, not only it brings a completely new sensation but inspiring ideas of humanity. I heard the New Avatar 2 is comming soon, can’t wait to watch it again…!
