karate kid

considering the original karate kid was one of th emost iconic movies ever made, this new version should not have been made...

even with the involvment of jackie chan, this movie still didnt fulfill the demands set by the original.

jaden smith, will smith's son, played the role of the young boy. he actually didnt do a bad job. the only thing that let him down was the script. it was filled with soppy romance and very little actual fighting, althought there was a bit of comedy throughout the film, which may appeal to the audience, it still felt like it was about 3/4 romance/boring filler, and 1/4 comedy/training, and a non-existent end fight scene, which was meant to be what the whole movie was about...

this movie took up an entire 2hrs 20 mins of my time, with maybe 10 minutes of actual fighting, and another 30 of training scenes.

all in all, there were some moments that were good to watch.

Karate Kid rated: 2/5
