W T F nostslgia critic? It was a fucking shit movie. The onky good thing is that they took a western mi ority. But still it was fucking dumb as shit, wtf was with the random american kids? Fucking fail, what was with he.....BACKFLIP kick?? The FUCK?? So unrealistic, no way an american could beat a chinese. im disappointed in you nostalgia critic
@DrTheKay ehm..exactly why you said this?an american can beat a chinese on kung fu,just like an american can beat an european playing football.Some nations are better than some others in some "sport" just because there's a better tradition,thus better teachers.If an american but learn kung fu in china from a chinese master,it's pretty possible that he can learn just as good as a chinese boy.
To be honest i think the 2010 one is my favorite in my opinion because it was way more passionate, emotional, and more dramatic. You should do a review for the new one instead of just comparing them i think it will be a good review since the movie was really good to me. And i will never forget the fat guy who was below us in the row of seats going like dang or ooh or ouch every time the poor kid got hit ( Jaden).
I watched the new Karate Kid last night and I got to say it's an all right remake.
The action scenes were fun to watch but they sort of deviate from what made the original Karate kid great in the first place was the underdog and coming of age story it portrayed.
at 14:50 he walks by a hanging potted plant then (off camera) hits the wall with his hands. First time I saw that I thought he knocked his head on the plant. :)
I saw jackie chan in the trailer and was like "THIS WILL BE AWESOME". Then I saw Jaden Smith sing with Justin Bieber and I was " OMG NOW I CAN'T WATCH A MOVIE WITH JADEN IN IT"...
@dulguunbat Just because they're both martial arts doesn't make them the same thing. That"s basically like saying Dude boxing and wrestling are the same fucking thing.
@9intheaftern00n100 Pretty simple really. Hollywood is afraid of making anything that is not a remake, reboot, sequel or otherwise part of an existing franchise.
Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit. The new karate kid is just an abortion. The old is where its at. Wise old man, growing up, and having a kid move from america to china is more bullshits than one. Fuck new karate kid
You thought the original wasn’t as good because it didn’t explain enough, I think that says more about you than the film. I don’t think it’s an era thing either, I just think modern audiences are lazy and have just become more dumbed down and need spoon feeding.
I wouldn’t recommend you watch '2001: a space odyssey'.. they don’t explain a lot in that either;_)
I dunno it just seems movies like the Karate Kid belonged in the 80s,these days they cant quite pull it off.I watched the new version and it wasnt terrible but if you wanted to watch KK why not just watch the original,did this new one really need to be made? I suppose kids these days would have a hard time relating to 80s movies,it wasnt their childhood.
I am wondering, doesn't anyone here know that while Jackie Chan does know kung-fu they were using theatrical kung-fu in this movie, and that you really cant use that to defend yourself and that and the reason Miyagi had daniel doing the wax on wax off wasnt to build his instinct up but to give him muscle memory so his muscles would asutomatically respond without him have to consciously think about what he's doing. That aside I loved both of these movies, I was just wondering if anyone knew that.
The new one is better, just because it is in fuckin' Asia!That is almost 3 times harder than learning martial arts in the US!Because in Asia it is a FUCKING TRADITION!So there: i said it!
Ok, I've never seen the original Karate Kid, but like a lot of people I knew about the Wax On, Wax Off thing, and I always thought that it was to keep Daniel's mind off of Karate.
I dunno, it just seems like a sneaky thing that Martial Arts Masters seem to do. It's like the Turtle Hermit in Dragon Ball; he never teaches his pupils any martial arts moves, but he strengthens their bodies with strange jobs.
@B0MBALI9 EXACTLY!!! I'm so glad someone finally said what I'v been thinking all along! If one more person asks, "Uh, why is it called karate kid when he's doing kung fu?" I will self-destruct....
because jackie chan insisted on it the movie being called like that. Originally it was meant to be his own movie but it was jackie chan who pushed it to be a karate kid pseudo-remake
@pariastabendesa That would make sense. I thought it was because he was the only one who knew Karate, and was thus known for it (not literally known for it of course). Also, it makes more sense for a teacher from China to teach Kung Fu, as it is actually Chinese. Why in the world would a Chinese teacher teach the Japanese art of Karate?
The producers DID think about calling it "The Kung Fu Kid", but then they realized. "Oh shit! If we don't actually call it 'The Karate Kid', the average American viewer will be too stupid to realize that it's a remake of 'The Karate Kid'!".
Yeah, the remake was the complete opposite of how stupid I thought it was going to be, thank Jesus. I mean, it WAS well put together, but yes, like NC said, this will probably remain the more known movie because it is a classic, despite the remake being a LITTLE better.
To really explain Miyagi's actions for doing the chores to teach Daniel karate I think personally its also a good workout for Daniel to prepare for the tournament. Outdoor work and all builds muscle.
I like the original better, mostly because it seems to be more at one with itself. Let me explain. In the remake, there are many elements at play, and there are lots of different ideas and plot lines present - at times, it gets unwieldy and messy. Did no one notice that you never even find out whether the love interest gets into the music school? The remake seemed to be several different films crammed into one. The old one was a tight movie, it knew what its focus was, and it pulled it off well.
WTF they had a cartoonDX??? How come I nvr knew thisDX??? Jaden smith is annoying as f**k though whereas I could hug Ralph machio & nvr let him go cuz he's so adorable + he's Johnny cadeXD
Original wins:\... Partly cuz I like Ralph machio... but the smith kids r annoying as f**k. I haven't seen the original in a while so can't really put in2 words y I like it better srry
@Game1ngAssass1n I don't either. I honestly think the remake (aside from the obvious wrong title) was really good. The explanations of martial arts reminded me alot of a friend of my father's who is an avid martial artist. So yeah, fuck the haters. Let them hate, and we'll just sit back and enjoy our movies!
Villain= Old's a Classic. New's a Nightmare (Not bad. Scary). Seriously, a kid with THAT kind of face while he's beating the tar out of you. The Old one just has cowardice... I thought that was supposed to get out of him...?
I'm still annoyed they called the new one Karate Kid, when obviously karate is a japanese martial art and they are in China learning chinese martial arts...
@Theriot6592 Yeah I heard that too, but so what if it doesn't sound good? At least don't make the title misleading... Lots of Karate fans are going to walk in the theater and say WTF!? This ain't Karate!
@BrandonAngelDragon Oh, come on, how many people would actually be able to watch people fighting in a movie and tell you what brand of martial art it is?
i like will smith and jackie fan alot, but i hated the remake for one fuckin reason, justin bieber did a fucking gay song for the movie, theres my reason why i will stay away from the remake forever
@LoneRebelX I don't like Bieber, but he doesn't ruin something he's in FOR ONE SONG! If it was the entire vocal soundtrack, I would understand. But no, the makers were smart and made sure he got as little audio spotlight as possible
I would actually choose the original, but I was really happy too hear him agree that mister Hans sob story is a bit more compeling. Would you rather live with you child for a number of years and then play a direct part in it's death, or it be in no way your fault but still be really sad.
I'm not letting this slide. Mr. Miyagi DOES explain why he did it. Did you not see the whole blocking thing after Daniel was fed up with doing that stuff? It, in a way, showed that karate also uses instinct and training, such as how Daniel specifically was told to do it in a certain way. The wax on wax off? Circle blocks. The painting the fence? High blocks and low blocks. It does make sense.
To be fair, marketing strategy dictates that if you name your movie after the classic, people will get interested just for the sake of comparison. Also, reading/saying "The Karate Kid" vs. "The Kung Fu Kid" makes a difference. "The Karate Kid" looks more aesthetically pleasing due to the variation of word size and rolls off the tongue more fluidly. Also, if the studio had named it "The Kung Fu Kid", the movie would sound more like one of the low-budget ripoff films (see "Gordy" review) than an
i didnt feel like mr han learned anything. i only watched the movie once. so maybe i should watch it again. but like when he was crying and stuff in the car all dre did was start practicing kungfu with him again. and maybe that references something earlier in the film and it makes sense. but i didnt recognize it the first time through. dre's character depth and complexity is dramatically out dwarfed by mr han's and it doesnt seem like dre could do anything because his character is so much lesser
Usually its very EZ for a new film/remake to be better than the original as longas its cast well and not cheaply done or done with the wrong motives, or just a rip off or make a quick dollar project, but again usually the remakes have the advantage b/c they almost always have more money and they ahve the benefits of newness, new technology and ALL thats been larned in film in the time gap between the 2 pictures. AND the BIG thing they can leanr from &prevent whatever flaws the original made
This actually stretches back to the 80s. The 80s remakes of "The Thing" and "The Fly" are far superior to the 40s/50s originals.
For modern examples of remakes that are superior to the originals, I say "Clash of the Titans", "The Wolf Man", "Fright Night", "The Mummy" and "King Kong".
wow is it just me or (when he puts them up side by side) that NEW cover/poster gets BUTT compared to that dated old one! lol. Dont' get it twisted the old one is not BAD (like the film) but that new cover art/poster is just super cool!
His moms "nagging her son to pick up his jacket" THATS 1 of your complaints against her?? WOW you didn't like/get how Myagi taught Daniel by having him do chores and you think that Dre's Mom was witching and annoying by telling hom to do something as SIMPLE as picking up his jacket (no wonder so many white kids are bratts, you don't have any discipline and expect to be told to do ANYthing huh? the world is your playground) IF you don't get these two things then you dont' get EITHER of the films!
TWO things; I guess he has to make a joke about it but if he does not get the ide of WHY Myagi taught him the wy he did then he needs to go back and watch tme movie again either that or he'll NEVER get it. ALSO the whole thing about what he said about the new Karate Kid and Jayden Smith's Dre and how 'its kinda COOL to get beat up as a kid' and how 'atleast no other kid will F with you' UHH what school did HE go to?? There is NOthing "COOL' about gettin the crap VIOLENTLY beat outta U in China!!
@minimalist34 what??? look at what?? PM me a link or something b/c I have no ida what you aer talkin about. and YES the crane kick is awesome and the NC knows NOTHINB about fighting, martial arts and karate if he thinks the crane kick (jump kick or not, a rose by any other name) is that easy to blcok/defend against, he's crazy!!
I like how critic put it. If I had to chose, i'd chose the newer one by a hair as well. The old one is still awesome and a classic. I just love when they went to train at the temple in the new one. The temple scene was just SOOO cool!
I also think they should have called it the Kung-Fu Kid, but I suppose it would have taken away from the whole "reboot" thing. Anyway, very good review, and I have to say that I agree with the outcome! I grew up in the '80s and therefore loved the original for all it was, cheesy and all, but I truly loved the 2010 film. I went in to it with an open mind, and was very pleasantly surprised.
Jacky Chan beats up kids in the movie! hhhheeeeellllloooooo!!!! it fucking sucks assssss! And Jacky Chan dont know real Kung Fu, he knows opera style kung fu. Its not the real thing. just flashy shit!
Its funny how everyone agrees on that the old one is WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY better, and then after watching some over hype youtube critic they change their opinion.
@MasterNinja1990 It's called debate, and consists of a person showing their opinion and why they think so. And for the record, Jackie Chan has been in a huge amount of kung fu and karate movies and does all his own stunts, so I highly doubt that he knows nothing about kung fu.
It happens to be that I know for a fact that he knows nothing about real kung fu. He only knows opera style. which is flashy stunts that looks good on stage but that would never work in real combat. So he is a fake. Sorry if he was your idol or anything..
@MasterNinja1990 Jackie Chan is well trained in many martial arts as well as several variations of kung fu: North Shaolin (from opera school), Wing Chun, Tong Long kung fu, and Bak Mei kung fu. he also studied boxing, judo, hapkido, and tkd, so no I somehow seriously doubt Jackie Chan is a fake.
4. Jackie Chan is well trained in many martial arts as well as several variations of kung fu: North Shaolin, Wing Chun, Tong Long kung fu, and Bak Mei kung fu. he also studied boxing, judo, hapkido, and tkd, so no I somehow seriously doubt Jackie Chan is a fake.
5. You have a problem with boobs?
6. Is Jackie, no Jacky.....you retard.
7. Learn to reply a comment, is not that hard, even a kid can do it, -_-
Dude, there were a bunch of kids, all kung fu students, ready to beat the shit out of Jackie AND Jaden, he was defending himself just as much. It's NOT the same as Jackie coming upon a random group of kids and beating them up, thats what you're making it sound like. Plus as Jaden put it, "how did you make them fight each other?". He didn't even beat them up to begin with...
oh right. so next time my brothers children are fighting I will just kick the shit out of them or encourage them to fight each other. I am sure all the other adults will understand your and Jacky´s fine logic.
your analogies don't work at all, there's a difference b/w your brothers children, and a random group of crazy kung fu students ready to beat the shit out of you. Just telling them to stop beating up Jaden clearly wasn't gonna do anything... >_>
You think like a kid. We adults handle things diffrently. I think I made a very good point with my former comment. And I stand by it. Thats the end of that, so stop talking to me. Have a nice day my friend
Dipping your balls into the face of your opponent doesn't work in real combat either, yet that doesn't stop millions of deluded people from thinking that knowing MMA would help them in a real fight.
Every single MMA fight I've seen involves one of the fighters wrapping his legs on the opponent's head so his crotch usually ends up in the opponent's face. They call it a "triangle hold".
My point is that, if you try that in a REAL fight, you get your ass kicked.
@Disneythievesrock Jackie Chan doesn't star in Karate movies I'm afraid. Therein lies the misconception many people have when it comes to martial arts. Karate is Japanese.,Mr Chan is obviously not.
He does make very good points and wheteher you like it or dislike either one you have to admit The Karate Kid remake is one of the better remakes. It shows that the people who made the new one actually tried and worked pretty hard on it.
i am not sure but i think i heard that karate is derived from kung fu so technically i think it is karate kids

I would actually choose the original, but I was really happy too hear him agree that mister Hans sob story is a bit more compeling. Would you rather live with you child for a number of years and then play a direct part in it's death, or it be in no way your fault but still be really sad.

I'm not letting this slide. Mr. Miyagi DOES explain why he did it. Did you not see the whole blocking thing after Daniel was fed up with doing that stuff? It, in a way, showed that karate also uses instinct and training, such as how Daniel specifically was told to do it in a certain way. The wax on wax off? Circle blocks. The painting the fence? High blocks and low blocks. It does make sense.

To be fair, marketing strategy dictates that if you name your movie after the classic, people will get interested just for the sake of comparison. Also, reading/saying "The Karate Kid" vs. "The Kung Fu Kid" makes a difference. "The Karate Kid" looks more aesthetically pleasing due to the variation of word size and rolls off the tongue more fluidly. Also, if the studio had named it "The Kung Fu Kid", the movie would sound more like one of the low-budget ripoff films (see "Gordy" review) than an

i didnt feel like mr han learned anything. i only watched the movie once. so maybe i should watch it again. but like when he was crying and stuff in the car all dre did was start practicing kungfu with him again. and maybe that references something earlier in the film and it makes sense. but i didnt recognize it the first time through. dre's character depth and complexity is dramatically out dwarfed by mr han's and it doesnt seem like dre could do anything because his character is so much lesser

Usually its very EZ for a new film/remake to be better than the original as longas its cast well and not cheaply done or done with the wrong motives, or just a rip off or make a quick dollar project, but again usually the remakes have the advantage b/c they almost always have more money and they ahve the benefits of newness, new technology and ALL thats been larned in film in the time gap between the 2 pictures. AND the BIG thing they can leanr from &prevent whatever flaws the original made

This actually stretches back to the 80s. The 80s remakes of "The Thing" and "The Fly" are far superior to the 40s/50s originals.
For modern examples of remakes that are superior to the originals, I say "Clash of the Titans", "The Wolf Man", "Fright Night", "The Mummy" and "King Kong".

His moms "nagging her son to pick up his jacket" THATS 1 of your complaints against her?? WOW you didn't like/get how Myagi taught Daniel by having him do chores and you think that Dre's Mom was witching and annoying by telling hom to do something as SIMPLE as picking up his jacket (no wonder so many white kids are bratts, you don't have any discipline and expect to be told to do ANYthing huh? the world is your playground) IF you don't get these two things then you dont' get EITHER of the films!

TWO things; I guess he has to make a joke about it but if he does not get the ide of WHY Myagi taught him the wy he did then he needs to go back and watch tme movie again either that or he'll NEVER get it. ALSO the whole thing about what he said about the new Karate Kid and Jayden Smith's Dre and how 'its kinda COOL to get beat up as a kid' and how 'atleast no other kid will F with you' UHH what school did HE go to?? There is NOthing "COOL' about gettin the crap VIOLENTLY beat outta U in China!!

I also think they should have called it the Kung-Fu Kid, but I suppose it would have taken away from the whole "reboot" thing. Anyway, very good review, and I have to say that I agree with the outcome! I grew up in the '80s and therefore loved the original for all it was, cheesy and all, but I truly loved the 2010 film. I went in to it with an open mind, and was very pleasantly surprised.

@MasterNinja1990 It's called debate, and consists of a person showing their opinion and why they think so. And for the record, Jackie Chan has been in a huge amount of kung fu and karate movies and does all his own stunts, so I highly doubt that he knows nothing about kung fu.
Disneythievesrock 1 month ago 8
It happens to be that I know for a fact that he knows nothing about real kung fu. He only knows opera style. which is flashy stunts that looks good on stage but that would never work in real combat. So he is a fake. Sorry if he was your idol or anything..
MasterNinja1990 1 month ago
@MasterNinja1990 Jackie Chan is well trained in many martial arts as well as several variations of kung fu: North Shaolin (from opera school), Wing Chun, Tong Long kung fu, and Bak Mei kung fu. he also studied boxing, judo, hapkido, and tkd, so no I somehow seriously doubt Jackie Chan is a fake.

Dude, there were a bunch of kids, all kung fu students, ready to beat the shit out of Jackie AND Jaden, he was defending himself just as much. It's NOT the same as Jackie coming upon a random group of kids and beating them up, thats what you're making it sound like. Plus as Jaden put it, "how did you make them fight each other?". He didn't even beat them up to begin with...

Dipping your balls into the face of your opponent doesn't work in real combat either, yet that doesn't stop millions of deluded people from thinking that knowing MMA would help them in a real fight.

Every single MMA fight I've seen involves one of the fighters wrapping his legs on the opponent's head so his crotch usually ends up in the opponent's face. They call it a "triangle hold".
My point is that, if you try that in a REAL fight, you get your ass kicked.
