Review: The Karate Kid

USER RATING

“The Karate Kid”

Anyone who grew up in the ’80s will know and love Mr Miyagi and Daniel-san from the original Karate Kid series. Now a whole new generation is set to go on a similar journey (albeit now with kung fu, not karate), with Jaden Smith (son of Will) as 12-year-old Dre, who is forced to up sticks from Detroit and relocate to Beijing with his mum (Henson).

Karate Kid, The Images

“a whole new generation is set to go on a similar journey”

Soon the target of local bullies, Dre appeals to troubled handyman Mr Han (Chan) to teach him some self-defence. Exciting choreography and stellar performances confirm that The Karate Kid legacy is in good hands.

this is the best movie in the world and is actually pretty funny (will smith's son). I think that everyone in the whole entire world should watch it...whether they like it or not!!!

My Favourite Movie: Clash Of The Titans

Claire Sikaloski says:

Brilliant movie - not just action but a great storyline as well with a brilliant backdrop. Was actually surprised at how good an actor Jaden Smith is. Holds his own, not just riding on the back of his parents fame.

My Favourite Movie: Let Me In

Krys C says:

Incredibly fantastic.. Very cleverly done.. One of the most touching and inspiring movies I have seen for a long time..

My Favourite Movie: N/A

May Renyard says:

Not as much action as I thought there would be but definately a good watch.. if you're not overly emotional. It touches base with a lot of personal issues that surround young children, bullying being the main objective. I just couldn't get over how much young Jaden "reflected" his father, Will Smith.
