The Karate Kid

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

The best karate kid 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.

Excellent service and excellent quality

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

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 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

ミヤギ道を、受け継いだベスト・キッド！まさか、師匠役にジャッキー・チェン、教え子にウィル・スミスの息子、ジェイデン・スミスが出演してたので購入しました！教える時は厳しく指導と、成長し教え子の、感動作品！とても素晴らしい映画です！

Die DVD kam schnell und unversehrt an und die Disc ließ sich ohne Probleme abspielen. Schöner Film!

R.A.S , le dvd est conforme à sa description. Il était très bien emballé, il est arrivé rapidement et en excellent état.

Like many people, I have fond nostalgic memories of the original. However, I feel this movie is just as good and excellent family entertainment that both kids and adults will love. I'm not a big fan of cliches or being emotionally manipulated and this movie's interpretation of Mr. Han's loss of his wife was very powerful. Jackie Chan and Lil' Smith kid did a great job acting for a tough scene. Sure the end of the scene was a bot cliche, but everything leading up to it made it ok. They referenced and nodded to the original through sight gags and came up with new ways to retell this story creatively and made it very exciting. Since they took some risks, you really doubted which way the move was going - even at the end. Sadly, many of the negative reviews are calling out one of two things: 1) The "karate" kid is now black and 2) He learned Kung Fu, not Karate. I thought it was all about the story? To the first point, both the original and the new version have nothing to do with race - even though both are about different cultures finding commonality in each other (Pat Morita was Japanese, people). In fact, in many spots where a less mature director would take advantage of a black kid from Detroit to bring "street smarts" to China, the high road is taken as are some of the opportunities for Chinese stereotypes. This movie was made with great respect of Chinese culture and not over representing an "American" attitude as a fish out of water. To the second point, I doubt most negative reviews would know that it was Kung Fu if the movie hadn't said so. Karate is a Japanese art, not Chinese, so it makes sense that he didn't learn Karate in China. However, I do have to agree that they called it the "Karate Kid" just for advertising purposes. I think people would have been ok with calling it the "Kung Fu Kid" with a nod as a Karate Kid remake. Why didn't the movie take place in Japan and call it Karate? Not sure. I highly recommend this movie for family and it works just as easily for adults. It's not as kiddie as people make it out to be and the maturity of the kids as both actors and characters far exceeds that of the original movie. I know we all have nostalgia for Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita (R.I.P!), but this movie is about as good a remake as the original and doesn't skimp on the same emotional roller coaster ride and life lessons.

This Movie is the best movie with Jackie Chan.Worth the watch and Money.10 ⭐ s
