Same here. And there's something else that bothers me about the whole thing but I'm not gonna talk about it.

Man, what a way for Jackie Chan to make his first 'gritty old guy' appearance.
Hope it doesn't suck. Why is it still called The Karate Kid? Takes place in China...

yet another example of hollywood's utter cluelessness/insensitivity to asian cultures.
look, if you're going to be adamant about cashing in on the "karate kid" brand name, then by all means, set it in japan and have the sensei teach the protege karate. that's fine. but please DON'T set it in china, have the sifu teach the protege wushu, and then have the cheek to call the movie f&*$@&kin "karate kid"!
actually, i'm more pissed at jackie chan. he would know full well how they're marketing this movie. and he should've put his foot down in defence of his own culture's martial arts. he has enough clout. but he probably just didn't care, with all the dollar signs flashing in his eyes. what a pathetic sellout.

All the Karate Kids are pure crap. I don't expect this one to be no different. If anything it will be better, but something I don't care to see either way.
How dare you?
The first one is great! Hope i'm not alone here guys, come on there must be more fans.

I see your point but I can also see the desire to showcase the Chinese arts in a major vehicle. The general public (American audience anyway) has no concept whatsoever of the differences between karate and kung fu, in terms of origin, technique or philosophy. I get phone calls every week and the people on the other end ask "Is this the karate place?" despite the fact that my listing in the book clearly says 'kung fu'. I even have the parents of kids I teach refer to their kids karate class. I won't even get into the fact that most people don't know kung fu doesn't translate to any martial art reference with people.
I'm dreading the phone calls after its released, from people who want lessons for their kids.

Once again Eli has no clue what he is talking about. This montage alone makes Karate Kid awesome:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/-Qae_TUTeGo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/-Qae_TUTeGo&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Not to mention the fact that Mr. Miyagi basically teaches Daniel karate by having him remodel his house. I can't fathom how anyone cannot like this movie. It is pure 80's awesomeness.
