The Karate Kid

A very good DVD good story line a bitt like the other Karate Kid , I watch these over again

Great. My family watched it the other night, really enjoyed it.

Amazing film

I grew up watching the original Karate Kid movies and they have been a huge part of my upbringing, due to my dad's encouraging me to take lessons from an early age. This film brought back so many fond memories from my karate years and its made me want to take it up again. It is just an incredible underdog story that moves you and makes you believe in the characters. Young Jaden Smith is a star to watch out for in the future and it looks bright for him. Jackie Chan gives the performance of his career and he has always been great to watch over the years. This film will warm your heart, open your mind and make you cheer with weep with happy tears because it is one of the best feel-good movies I have ever seen.

At the current price this Bluray is worth buying. This film is not as good as the original but has some good moments.Jaden Smith suits the role well, like his dad he is a very good actor and has a way of getting the audience "on his side".Unlike Ralph Macchio, Jaden Smith is much smaller then the bullies of the movie and will have you rooting for him the whole way.Jackie Chan does not have his usual flair instead plays a more calm quiet role. Its a nice change to see Jackie in a role like this and he pulls of the role as a teacher well.little gripe, its not Karate. The film is set in China and Dre (Jaden Smith) is taught Kung Fu.The original films were fantastic and having watched them its always in the back of your mind. You will notice the similarities from the other movies.If you have not seen the classics then this is worth buying and at this price is great value.This will definitely appeal to the younger generation, there is not much violence so is a film for the family.

The funny thing about this film is that it's at points terrific and other points incredibly dull. The martial arts are fantastic and Jackie Chan finally gets a role where he is able to act. Jaden Smith does a decent job given the material, unfortunately he is hampered by a screenwriter that has no idea how kids actually interact. There are moments where you will cringe in a way that you haven't since 'The Office'. Certain scenes especially the journeying kind seem to be filled with inane blathering for no explicable reason, aside from the writer being afraid of silence. However in all seriousness despite the predictable nature of the film, and the stock characters, it does hit the emotional notes very well, and it's here that Smith excels. The interaction between Chan and Smith is where the film lives or dies and I'm happy to say their relationship is believable and at times touching. It's overlong and exceedingly dull at times, but overall I think it's worth a watch, especially for the price.

I truly love this version, knocks spot off the original version

i know people have different opinions but i absolutely loved this film! its funny, exciting and good for all ages, Jaden Smith is a very talented young actor and the scenery in this film is also amazing. i was so happy when this came through the post and keep watching it over and over again it never gets boring! it doesnt really matter whether you've seen the old one because it still makes sense and is a good laugh. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FILMS!! <3
