  • What's up with this film? I rather pass on it and find some good stuff.

  • Ok, people need to just stop complaining about the "little kids getting beaten" argument... have you ever watched a real tournament with kids that age? its very much like that... please, you americans are way to conservative sometimes and about the wrong things to boot. Anyway, I think this is better than the original, better filmed, better acted and Ralph Macchio looks like a jersey lesbian... that kid is UGLY and not manly AT ALL. You could even say that the original was a lesbian love story.

  • I loved the movie and the kung fu the kids were doing was awesome. But China is a competitive country, so you shouldn't be surprised at how hardcore they are. I'm sure they have competitions like those out there. Why do you think their gymnasts are so amazing? They work very hard!

  • Couldn't hear a thing!!!

  • your audio sux

  • They said the 12 year old relationship made no sense, yet describe a crush on Ralph Macchio at that age. The hell? I thought the two kids were cute together.

    That being said, I do agree Jayden Smith (and other characters) was humorously small and looked more like a 4 year old. Also agree that the kung fu was a little hardcore for their age group, but that made the scenes at the end pretty awesome. And the beautiful shots of China were totally worth it.

  • @genresrforposer A relationship is an entirely different thing than just having a crush on someone so I don't see what was wrong with her comment, even though I agree they were cute together and the romance was kept simple enough to be believable.

  • really?...really?.......You don't understand the minds of 12 year old males...

  • I give it a 8/10. The movie had a great ..watch for fr33 at Free Movie Zone . n e t

  • 0:21 TURK :D XD

  • COULDN'T BE CALLED THE "KUNG FU" KID BECAUSE THAT MOVIE ALREADY EXISTS AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE A MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME. It's a cute kid flick. I liked Jacki Chan in it.

  • The movie was good and you would watch it again. So what if Jaden is small I think that actually made it more entertaining in the fighting scenes at the end.

  • You want a review of this movie? Simple:

    THIS IS NOT THE KARATE KID. The title is A LIE. The only thing this movie has in common with The Karate Kid is the title, and the main villain's stupid hairstyle. Where Mr. Miyagi brought quiet, subtle exposition and character development about his sad past, Poor Jackie Chan vomits sheer dumb sentiment all over himself for HALF AN HOUR, because apparently SUBTLE isnt in the director's dictionary.

    It's also not KARATE, it's KUNG FU. It's THE KUNG FU KID.

  • Yes, the scenery is nice. The movie is beautifully shot, but that's not really a review. That's not the basis for a movie, that's the basis for an Advertisement for Chinese Tourism. The gratuitous exploitation of scenery is a blatant foil to try to mask how lousy the movie is. Apparently, every person in China lives within convenient driving distance of at least one beautifully restored section of the Great Wall, and Shaolin Mountain, for example.

    This movie exists because Will Smith said so.

  • Where's the scene where Miyagi took Daniel to that monastary to teach him about stillness and zen and all that jazz, where he squished a bug and offended the monks. It was replaced by a glitzy "Oooooh, it's all magical and kung-phooey" mountaintop temple where the dumb-ass kid drowned himself in a glorified fish bowl. Where was the lesson? Where was the teaching moment? All he did was walked up a hill and dunked his head in a fountain with a Yin-Yang symbol on the bottom. HOORAY FOR JADEN SMITH!

  • @Etimos the moive was good what are you talking about it whent great with the origanal with some partss fo its own i liked it it was good funny and good action scenes.

  • @beebeea1 Judging from your spelling, you're either foreign, twelve, or drunk, so I can forgive you for your foolishness, but I cannot allow it to go uncorrected. No, it was not a good movie. The original was hardly a work of art, but this remake was a hollow and spineless capitulation to Will Smith's demands to put his son in a movie, any movie, regardless of how crappy it was.

    The kid has a future. This movie does not.

  • @Etimos im 13 and yes i have horrible spelling but really you didnt like the first then im done if you didnt like the first then theres no way yuor going to like this one.

  • The reason I couldn't like this movie too much was because, to me, it felt like an attempt to clean up the image of the Chinese government. The reference of corrupt kung-fu not being representative of real kung-fu was clearly an attempt to dispell Westerners view that the Chinese government is corrupt. Other than that, the movie followed the original pretty well. 6/10 for me.

  • @NothingBut666 your an idiot its just a movie

  • cant beat the original

  • @tetlus I totally agree

  • lol when i was 11 i was beaten up buy 14 year olds alsomy first girlfriend so i dont knw u guys are talking about. u all are just old people that clinch to the past

  • Lol, you guys suck, 2 years ago in 8th grade, which is Jr. High by the way, my friend broke somebodies nose, there was a sort of fight club, didnt like somebody, go to the soccer field and fight them, again, China is not America, they adapted to the Chinese culture, the girls family probably has a strict history of just Chinese marriges, they probably didnt want that broken because of Jaden. Your being ignorant and not looking at the movie as what it was, a KICK ASS MOVIE.

  • "Eww gross" at twelve years old? Are you shittin me?? haha

  • I was really really surprised by this movie. I thought it was great. The fighting was incredible. Better than most action movies that come out nowadays.

  • did he just say will smith is a bad actor?

  • "It avoids the stereotypes"

    "Training on the Great Wall"

    yeah....

  • This movie was great, 80 times better than the original.

  • and thats just brooklyn in china kids are trained from young ages in martia arts so the fact that 12 yr olds can kill with their bodies as registered lethal weapons is nothing esicially in this time thats why theres a 2010 after the tile cuz it dusnt wannna be compared to the 80s version its a whole new generation and weve progressed... alot in 30 yrs (mainly cuz of bad parenting) we alrdy kno 2 much i see 3rd graders with mouths so dirty you would wanna cry thats all i gotta say

  • lol ur ratings arennt based on this generation at all im 12 and ive liked girls for the past 4-5 years so romance was not a problem i go to one of the best schools in brooklyn n guess wat people still fight and beat the crap outta eachother there are smokers too u name it i understand all of ur points but take it from som1 in this yrs generation of 12 yr olds it couldve been even more brutal and romantic it even seemed like theromance wasnt owerful enuph for 12 yr olds

  • This movie should have a lower score for the misleading title and Will Smith's direction onto insulting the Japanese culture buy advertising Karate buy assimilate Chinese dogs. Disguisting and typical hollywood Americans to keep bashing down their dumb brain down masses. "this movie is amazing". this movie was not amazing. It was not genuine. It's just a silly over-drawn remake. Stop buying into the hip of Will Smith and his son you dumb retards.

  • @Ravenmist66 Umm wasnt it in China.. JAcky chan is Chinese..

  • @otherlifes What was what in china?

  • @otherlifes Have you not seen the original Karate kid and the origin of Karate? God ARE YOU THAT FUCKING STUPID AND ANNOYING TO NOT SEE THESE MAINSTREAM CAP OUT REMAKE DUMB DOWN WRITING RETARDED MINDLESS AMERICAN DRONES NOT SEE THIS. I HATE PEOPLE AND ABSOLUTELY HATE PEOPLE WHO ENJOY THIS MINDLESS BLUNDER.

  • @Ravenmist66 You need to calm yourself. Take a deep breath. Don't be so pessimistic about movies. I have seen the original Karate kid, and also I know the origin of Karate. By the way in this movie it was Kung Fu, and Jacky Chan played his character well, + he is Chinese. This movie was great for a remake, they did change things up a bit but thats good. And the original was years ago, the new generation isn't introduced to it, but they're introduced to this which may leadthembacktowatchtheother1

  • I love this movie!

  • couldn't hear you, Fail.

  • i love yuo

  • dude! turn up the db on ur videos!!!

  • I love the original. But I also ove this one. They're both equally good but in different ways.

  • I really, REALLY hate the way the girl talks... just saying...

    Loved the film, by the way... and to the fat guy: 12 years old do like girls (you are thinking 8 or 9 with the "ewww gross" stupid remark)

    Have you people ever seen a real Kung Fu tournament? they are just like that, really... god, you are idiots.

    And it's not a ROMANCE you morons, it's a crush...

  • The Karate Kid is one of the best things that DC Comics ever invented!

  • What an idiot, that blonde

  • THIS FILM IS THE BEST FILM IN THE WOOOORLD!!!!

  • I don't like this lady :(

  • What is she taking about this film far surpassed the original in every way the original will always be 80's cheesiness Jackie chans Han is much better than mr miagi and the fight scenes when fantastic

  • @SueyMatta1 how about you learn to spell some words before you dare to criticize mr.mayagi. No one can steal Mr.Miyagi charm.

  • My main issue? THE MARTIAL ART IN THE MOVIE IS KUNG FU NOT KARATE!!!

  • @MonisticWonder they only named it that because of respect

  • Bad movie. Not a very believable film.

  • I think your too oversensitive over if the kids are getting beaten up, its not real you fags -_-

  • Whats with the stupid, "Darwin Loves You" on this idiots lap top.

    HEy douche bag, just review the movie, knock off the stupid Darwin stuff. Nice personal agenda..........

  • @Pjaynes781 Bet you wouldn't complain seeing a "Jesus loves you" sticked on it.

  • @ericleb01 Yea, I would, I came her to get a movie review not this idiots take on evolution.

  • @Pjaynes781 What's wrong with his take on evolution? Do you know his take on evolution? Do you HAVE a take on evolution? Do you know it's a fact? Do you care?

    Why do you care whether or not he has a take on evolution?

  • @ericleb01 Obviously this goof ball cares, thus the giant sticker on his laptop that says, "Praise Darwin"

    again, this doucher is reviewing movies thats it.

  • @Pjaynes781 Love how you completely dodged the question. Case closed.

  • @ericleb01 Didn't, "Dodge the question" I didn't come here for a debate on evolution. I came here to get a review on the new Karate Kid movie. This is not the format, thus the frustration from this doucher reviewing the movie with his, "Praise Darwin" sticker.

  • these people chattin shit alot 11 yr old isnt 2 yung 2 b bullied kids get bullied at 5 n karate KID is perfect 4 jaden cuz the ralph geezer was mor like karate teenager , this film was sik n kids in china trained at martial arts frm the age of 3 so not yung 4 jaden 2 b fightin n the woman is a damn fool lol

  • the fat guy in the beard chat sum shit he needs 2 shut up the nu film is sik n the story is sik n tehr bullies at very yung ages like dwn 4 yrs old so 11yr old isnt yung 2 b bullied

  • Christy Lemire is totally right Jaden is 12 but he looks like 9!

  • i hate jaden smith..he has no acting ability like his mom,

  • @brickman73 lol wasteman hater ther always 1

  • after reading this comment go and watch the film,,,,don't ask any questions just do it!!!

  • I LOVE JACKIE CHAN HE IS THE BEST

  • Kick that girl off the show, she is horrible. If she wasn't on the show, this show would be awesome.

  • EW. Wasted 12mins of my life!

  • why is the volume so low???

  • then fuck off cuz u (matt) pissed me off so much when you said tht 12 yr olds shouldnt like girls or b beating each other up. Well, first, u must've forgotten wat its like when u were twelve or u aren't in the 21st century yet, but in the 60's as in my catholic elem school, we were alredy "dating" at 12. and in asia, when ur twelve, u r about 2 graduate to high school alredy. in asia, we skip 7th and 8th grade as its compressed in the grade school. so its not tht surprisn 2 c them in a romance.

  • BULLSHIT!!!!!!! U american interviewers know NOTHING about asian 12 yr olds. in asia, being 12 means tht ur one yr away from high school or r in first yr high school. Tht would amount to a 14 yr old here in america, and u dont think thts OK?! FUCK U! Hell, u obviously didn't do enough research. When i studied in asia, i was 12 yrs old, in sixth grade, and was about to go to high school the next yr along with my entire grade. Thts how it is, and if u fucking dont understand how the schooling is

  • BULLSHIT!..theyre saying the sam thing they said about chloe moretz from kickass

    now theyre saying about jaden smith,i am dine with this interview,,

    they are both going to be great action stars when they grow up. FINITO

  • this movie sucks, original karate kid FTW

  • @koala They were not racist. They were xenaphobic.

  • i agree that the movie provide a good enough reason why the chinese kids were bullying Jaden smith..the old movie used the ex girlfriend factor but...i think they should of emphasised some other aspect in this one for e.g. racism, so that 1) we feel more sympathy towards jaden's character 2) realistic portrayal of China's monoculturalism and racism towards foreigners. and it would have provided a realistic reason why the chinese kids were bullying jaden's character...imo

  • It's not *really* a reboot. What's un-realistic about the bullying? I don't know what these guys were doing when they were 12, but I was jacking off to every non-relative woman I saw. I'm giving your review a '2.1'

  • are you guys professional.? cause this movie was amazing. doesnt matter about his age in romance. and all of that, it was an overall AMAZING movie. and i definatley wanted to see more of jaden smiths acting after. at that age, they can be violent and bullies nowadays. and 12 year old boys like girls... well normal ones. idk about you-__- but anyway the length shouldnt matter, and if u say some stuff was useless and wasted time... this wasted MY time. cuz all your saying is ridiculous.

  • you must have been a loser at 12 i am twelve and your wrong

  • Coming from a girl at 12 years old that is when you start becoming interested in the opposite sex soo Matt just because you were a loser at 12 doesnt mean everyone has to be!!!!

  • in 6th grade I was wacking off, and dreaming about girls at school :-)

  • up the sound yo!

  • i really hate the kid in this movie

  • AZN TALK QUIETLY!

  • Your kidding right? You obviously are very naive about kids today. Loads of children 11-12 year olds are in serious relationships and beating the crap out of other kids. Duh!.

  • @LeonardosPetMonkey viery true, and in about 500 years kids will be abducted at the age 6 and be turned into super soldiers called Spartans and at the age of 12 will become super killing machines and battleing against an alien race who calls themselves the Covanent :D

  • I lived in the inner city during my middle school years and yes 11 and 12 year olds can be just that violent. You only demonstrate your suburban upbringing and lack of imaginanation by saying children of that age wouldn't beat the crap out of someone.

  • I was unbelievably horny when I was 12. Moreso then now.

  • awsome

  • @Owner46 Lol i second that. When I was actually 10 any time my parents were out.. you know ;p

  • lol, eww gross? yea right when i was twelve girls were at the top of my list.

  • lmao when i was twelve i wasnt saying 'eww gross'

  • seriously. 4.9? i saw the original and i hope to see the new one. but seriously. 4.9!?! Thats way too low, just because you saw the original doesnt mean that it should seriously affect your score by that much.

  • @ElderKingpin Its a remake and you think the old one has no bearing? Wrong

  • @Orious11 i didnt say it has no bearing. If you listened to what she said, she kind of clung onto the old one.

  • not a very good review. this movie was much better than they said.

  • If you want to see a pretty serious role by Jackie Chan, check out:

    Shinjuku Incident

  • lol they are rong about 12 year olds being shy or hating girls. everyone that i have known at 12 years old loved girls or having a girlfriend or talked about girls or what ever. i think they are rong about the romance thing..

  • i love the intro but plz more volume

  • matts gay, when i was 12 i was alredy hopin to get laid

  • Please USE A COMPRESSOR to IMPROVE THE AUDIO consistency!

  • Great Review!

  • Scientologist!

  • Jackie Chan said that the movie was a "tribute to the karate kid movies and wether pat noriyaga studied or not is not relevant.

  • Jonathan's a good edition to this show. I'm definitely not seeing Karate Kid, but I enjoyed his review.

  • wtf is with youtube commercials seriously

  • Fricking love this movie @_@

  • the volume is way too low

  • R.I.P. You did good job while you were alive. I will miss you, my dear speakers.

  • A joke of a movie. Someone please make a video of side by side verbatim lines of each movie. The original was so much better.

  • 12 year olds have bfs/gfs but it's not as serious as true teenagers

    Kids do get that violent especially when trained incorrectly like that. Also in China full contact is how it is. It's called Sanda

    Jackie not acting serious in a long time??? Umm... New Police Story (2004), Shinjuku Incident (2009) do your research.

    I love the original I liked this one too. I had some problems with it too but these guys picking on a film for the wrong reasons. Except the love interest thing I can agree with.

  • The sounds seems really low on this one.

  • They made a few valid points but spent way too much time slamming Jaden for his size/age rather than assessing his exceptional acting and physical performance.

  • wtf is wrong with the volume?

  • If Jaden is half the actor his father is, he will be very successful.

    :P

  • @Joxman2k Did the guy really say "There are worse actors to emulate" Will Smith's a great actor =_=

  • @LittleVilli

    I agree :)

  • i dont like how they based it on the previous one...if its a fresh movie look at it that way...i thought it was quite good...full contact fightin was a lil much...bt it added the excitement...

  • Agree. If you're going to shoot in China instead of Cali you've already dismantled the original storyline at that point. I think most of the reason was to cash in on the popularity of Mr. Miyagi as a character. I would prefer a fresh movie too, not a remake, in large part because most remakes these days suck and only serve to slay the original. I haven't seen this yet though. I plan on it in the next day or two. My expectations aren't very high so hopefully it will exceed them.

  • Yeah WTF! Matt, Christy and Jonathan make a dynamite team - and Ben's also great. Keep up the cool, fun, intelligent reviews.

  • volume too low

  • You guys really need to boost your audio.

  • DID MY SPEAKERS DIE??

  • @commandolam maybe, cuz the sound was fine

  • It has been too long since you were 12. I distinctly remember liking girls when i was 12. Adults always underestimate the maturity of children. (blanket statement used to combat blanket statement.)

  • TYT's volume is always ridiculously too low. I am always turning up the volume only to do something else and deafen myself and any nearby passers by.

  • Christy is annoying me >.>

  • Can we have Ana instead of Christy. Thank you

  • I still can't stand Christy. I hope they replace her or something...

  • ditto to all the audio comments....this sucks.

  • AUDIO!!!!!!!!!

  • Ok - For people who are not critics, this movie was great. I have figured out that the criteria for someone to become a movie critic is the inability to reasonably enjoy a movie. I get so sick of these reviews.. I Love Cenk, but I am done with WhatTheFlick - unsubscribed

  • @legend0110 so true, used to take their opinion seriously and end up not watching the movie but I went to see SATC and it was much betta so now I dont take them seriously.

    Christy..AP...Really?? Ana could do betta.

  • @2:02 pick up your jacket, take it off.. jacket on, jacket off..

    what were they thinking? "jack on, jack off"?

  • racist bitch!!!!!!!

  • lol...no audio....

  • I can't hear you guys.... DAMMIT FIX THE VOLUME

  • Turn the freaking sound up!

    Click - that's the sound of me closing this window.

  • i really wanna know, is this movie good, crap, decent?? theres so many different opinions on it too hard to tell.. is it worth going to see it for myself

  • @Mugenis4real def go see it . im hard on movies and even i can say you will enjoy this movie without a doubt

  • The fat dude must of been a nerd, as I first had sex in 5th grade (with a 7th grader, I felt like the shit that entire year lol)

  • Matt is so wrong on 12 year olds being "eww gross" about girls. He's old though so he must have completley forgotten what it was like at 12 years old.

    I was 12 years old 7 years ago and I can say without a doubt that me and all my friends were super interested in the opposite sex.

  • @my89tube im 12 now and you are exactly right

  • @my89tube I completely agree 9 year olds these days have girlfriends and boyfriends so he is very off on that one.

  • @my89tube At 12 years of age, I was banging Sonia, my grandmother's maid.

  • @junglemanlawyer1 your funny...lls really funny

  • @my89tube He must've been gay when he was 12.

  • @my89tube That's how it was for my friends and me too.

  • @my89tube mmmhmm...... yeah

  • @my89tube agree completely! My brother is 12 years old and he has had 4 girlfriends since he first started school... 12 year old are completely into girls...

  • Guys its not the sound, chinese people speak very quietly. Its a respect thing.

  • @my89tube What a stereotypical comment. Actually their master volume is low, which is why the opening graphic and trailer (as well as their recent news segments) were relatively quiet.

  • @NativeSpartacus lol take it easy, i was only joking. What the flick has been notorious since its debut for having shitty audio whether or nor a Chinese, turkish, black, white, etc etc etc. person is there.

  • Comment removed

  • @NellieIee actually, I'm half Chinese, half Korean ;-)

  • @jsjkim cool ^.^ "we're all going to be beige one day" I'm guessing your dad is the Korean side of you because Kim is a pretty stereotypical Korean name right? Just about every Korean person I know is either Kim, Park, Lee or Ahn :P

  • @my89tube

    LMAO!

  • Somebody grew up sheltered..."ewww gross"??? Yeah right.

  • Matt doesn't know about kids. Simple as that. :/

    That kid would have already had his first boner.

  • the volume is too low!

  • "Any 12 year old boy is going to be 'Ew, gross?!?!?" Man, this guy probably didn't lose his virginity until 30. 12 year old boys are not at all cootie shy. Otherwise, I agree with the comments made by the two dudes. The lady critic was comparing it to the original movie. You cannot do that and enjoy this movie, not at all.

  • FREE CENK

  • Guys yout TyT sound engineers need to get some better equipment please.

  • "eww gross"?!?!? I think Mat was 'confused' at 12.

  • there are real MMA fights with young kids so it shouldnt be that hard to accept.

  • y is the dam volume so fukin low everytime i watch a "wtf" vid

  • At least Darwin loves me!

  • LOL, this movie is funny. It's usually the Black kids picking on the Asian kids.

    I cee wah chu did ter

  • Goddamn John Kim, get that fucken sticker off your laptop!

    So damn distracting

  • Would be nice to hear the video. Sound is way too low.

  • I can't hear a thing! The sound blows but the commericals are like wicked loud. wtf?!

  • I was not saying "eww a girl" when i was 12.

  • more volume.....
