I mentioned a few posts back that I saw a "making of" show on like HBO or some such channel. They are not blind to the title vs the subject. The "Karate Kid" in the title refers to the disparaging name that the Kung-Fu gang gives the kid in the movie. They make fun of him by calling him "The Karate Kid".

Oh man, this guy is definitely pissed!!

I agree with this guy but come on get a life money decides what gets the green light to be made and its an easy decsion for them to make.
The first film was popular so all the fans will see it one way or another to slag it off.
It has will smiths sprog in it so people will want to see if hes any good/bad.
It has jackie chan in,love ot hate him hes got skill and just natural curiosity will draw people in.
I have to admit I'm curious to see what they've done to it and will probably hate myself and want to pull out my eyeballs but its like a car crash you have to look at.
Zero interest in seeing this crappy remake.
I'll be seeing the A-Team this friday.

Jackie Chan seems relegated to awful kids movies these days... its a shame as he used to be so kick ass. But, I'm sure he's getting paid a hell of a lot more money for this crap so I can't fault him
HAha yeah, what's with that hey?!

No kidding, but he is getting older so he might just be trying to take it easy and collect the paychecks they keep throwing his way. I can't blame, but I certainly don't have to support him by seeing the movies.

Hmmm. I took my niece and nephew to see this today. I wanted to watch A-Team, but whatever. It wasn't bad. It's actually surprisingly low-key and not as upbeat as the original Karate Kid, which isn't a bad thing. Smith/Dre didn't piss me off as much as I thought he would. Actually, the way he gets his a$$ beat near the beginning is quite graphic and you kinda feel for the kid. Chan (initially the sole reason I decided to watch this) is no Pat Morita in regards to acting ability, but he looks grim and wise and not a lot like previous Jackie Chan characters, which is a welcome change. At first I thought the relationship between Dre and Mr. Han was a bit cold and detached compared to Daniel's rapport with Mr. Miyagi, but these are different times, not to mention different place altogether, what with Dre being out of his comfort zone in China. That's one aspect I actually like more than the original (blasphemy, I know): the feeling of isolation. Daniel never had to go through that living in the Valley.
There's a lot to like in this movie, and now that I've seen it, the last few pages of this thread hating on it (which I will admit to participating in earlier on) seems a bit unfair.
It doesn't live up to the original Karate Kid, which I still remember watching when I was a little kid, but the remake doesn't make a mockery of my memories either, so that's something (except for it being named 'Karate Kid', but I'll blame that on marketing) worth praising. The fight scenes are done well too. Not the worst movie I've seen this summer season.

WTF are you talking about Valfar?
I'm not wasting my time or money on this POS movie.
Went to see the A-Team instead. Enjoyed the heck out of the A-Team, which IMO was some sweet summer escapism!

Saw the movie yesterday with my 11 year old son. I was expecting a so so movie and what I saw was pure entertainment. People where laughing, crying, and cheering. Good movie, I hope it gets the credit it deserves.
