A lot of people HATE this movie. I personally always loved it and only found it later that it’s hated by a fair amount of people. I think the story was similar yet different enough to be interesting, the characters stayed true to themselves and showed a deeper side, and the action I think is just way way WAY better in the 2010 version. The original karate kids are goated, but this movie I think is an amazing remake
@MrVisualHighСағат бұрын
I think it's because the original was so important to people it was always going to have a hard time winning people over. On top of that, since this movies release Jayden has gotten a bad rap for being a cringey teenager in the public eye (as apposed to the rest of us who got to be cringey teenagers in private XD), this has probably prevented this movie from becoming a "classic in hindsight" as many movies do.

To me growing up this was MY Karate Kid (although technically it should probably be called Kung Fu Kid). When I was young my family would love watching this movie together and before I ever learned about the original Karate Kid movies or Cobra Kai, this movie to me was first exposure to the franchise and honestly it doesn't get enough love as I think its pretty underrated. Interested to see what the new upcoming Karate Kid is going to look like?

@@alexp601 I'm 39, and that doesn't mean I dislike the old Karate Kid. I prefer the fights of the younger one, I like Jackie Chan and also the more current script. The interesting thing is that I see more people who prefer the first Karate Kid being haters of those who like the 2010 one, than the other way around. This is immaturity, each person likes what they want, each film represents something different for each person. It's just different opinions, and that's okay.

51:20 - I love the line " _I hope it was something important_ " because that speaks volumes more to me as someone who rarely holds a grudge, because this really is that important to remember: Is the argument worth dying over? PS to me, this isn't a remake, it's just another story in the same universe. This movie is great, as a fan of the old Karate Kid movies, I really enjoyed this movie and I really buy what Jackie Chan says about Kung Fu - Don't get me wrong, I bought it about Karate too with Wax on Wax off, something I still quote to my sister when we need to do something " _Ah, but first we must sand da floor, and wax on_ ".

This movie shouldn't been called The Kung Fu Kid because of the martial arts change. If they're going to make a Karate Kid movie, should've gone shot the movie in Japan and cast Ken Watanabe as the mentor. Around that time, Ken was the more well known Japanese actor to American audiences because of Last Samurai, Batman Begins and Letters from Iwo Jima.
