I'm so pissed!!!..."Karate Kid" remake in the works...

[Darth Snoopy]

Wow, this just looks like not only a terrible movie, but prolly the worst remake in history.

One of the things that was neat bout the first movie was the training. All you saw him do was wax the cars, paint the fence. The audience nor Daniel knew he was being trained until towards the end, when you found out that was his training. Here is it all in your face and used as a punchline to a tired joke.

Jackie beating up 10 year olds??

Shouldn't this be the Kung Fu Kid instead of Karate Kid?

fauking joke of a movie by someone trying to push their talentless kid to the masses.

 

[Darth Vader]

this movie is going to suck no doubt's about it i mean its called karate kid yet there is no karate the kid is doing wing chun not karate lawl.

 

[galactiboy]

Evil Face summed up perfectly... this is just horrid.

And Eli, seriously STFU... the original Karate Kid kicks all kinds of ass

Yeah you tell him!

Whatever the case, I used to like Will Smith...but the fact that he pushes his talentless kid (as Evilface puts it) in this movie is utterly ridiculous and is Hollywood politics at it's best. It's like the equivalent of putting Jack Osbourne in a remake of Beverly Hills Cop in the Eddie Murphy role or putting Miley Cyrus in a remake of Terminator 2 as Sarah Connor. Makes no sense, except for a vehicle for his kid with his own interests at heart.

Will is just passing this on to his son. How many movies did Will Smith play in that he had no business in the part?

 

[MANDO]

Sa the trailer for this today. It looks really bad. Just an all out crapfest that has little to nothing to do with the film it's based off. On top of that my Bro's wife wants to see it. Her taste in ????ty movies will never cease to amaze me...

 

[The Ween]

If I see this trailer at the movies I'm gonna boo it!

Now that i'd love to see.

 

[Bullseye]

Has the young boy been in any previous movies? How do we know if has talent or not?

I will say I am amazed that Hollywood is actually remaking this movie.

 

[Voorhees27]

The sad thing is, because he is "Will Smith's son" and a child actor people will take their kids to see it and hense it will make decent money.

Will Smith is nothing special ................. Hollywood is hurting. These are both facts.

 

[uscmhicks]

Will Smith is nothing special

 

[Darth Cruel]

I saw the trailer for this at the theater today.

It looks OK to me. Not a blockbuster...but it looks like a funny-enough re-imagining of the original.

His son nearly ruined "Pursuit of Happiness" for me....now he's demolishing "Karate Kid." Hope they stick with the "Kung-Fu Kid" Movie Title. I don't want his kid ruining this "Karate Kid" franchise any further...

 

[CelticPredator]

I can see why people don't like the Karate Kid. It's a typical 80ies movie in many ways, and to one who didn't grow up with it, it could be pretty damn terrible.

Thankfully, I did grow up with it, so I get that sweet taste of nostalgia to make an awesome 80ies movie even better.

I never grew up with it, but I love it so. I watch it whenever it's on.

ditto. I think some people just get lucky and get to like movies like it anyway.

He also was in The Day the Earth Stood Still and was annoying as ???? in that movie.

Enjoy!

I don't know if this will make anyone feel better (or worse), but Sony is claiming the Karate Kid received the second highest test audience rating ... ever.

Here's the story:

and

So ... um... hmm ... words fail me right now.
