Karate Kid
So hot! If I ever have kids, I will so dress them up like that. Look how fashionable Jaden and Willow are. So awesome. Props to Will Smith and Jada Smith for making such beautiful children.

It might be a little creepy being 22 yrs old yet I’m a fan of an 11 yr old boy named Jaden Smith. LOL I really like this little kid, especially from his well-known debut in The Pursuit of Happyness. I think he’s a great child actor and has good potentials. Hopefully he won’t grow up fat, drug addicted, acne-filled faced… but just be very handsome like his father Will Smith… then he’s pretty much good to go. Anyhow, I really wanted to see the Karate Kid 2010 when I heard Jaden would be the lead. But at the same time, I was like hmm a black kid doing kung-fu.. interesting but whatever, the kid is cute.
Comparing this Karate Kid 2010 to the original Karate Kid 1984, I actually enjoyed 2010 more. Not because it is more modern, but I like the action and script/dialogue much better. Obviously for the 1984 one, it’s pretty damn good for its time, but honestly, I’m not a fan of Ralph Machhio. I thought his way of acting was weird and the Karate Ralph did didn’t seem as realistic as the Kung-fu Jaden did. But in retrospect, I enjoyed Pat Morita as the teacher in 84 better than Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan was oddly stiff in this one even though he tried to show a lot of emotions. The part where he was drinking and was in the car (not going to continue, don’t want to spoil..) he really poured his emotions, but as the viewer, I couldn’t feel it. Jaden in this respect was very good. Whenever he got hurt, especially the parts where he got kicked in the leg, or got beat up, you can really indulge in his pain because his facial expressions were so real and strong. There were minor things that could have been nitpick details, like during the tournament when Jaden had his leg hurt, he was holding and pressing onto the wrong leg which I thought was kind of funny. lol
Another aspect I like from the movie is the music choice. I think it’s cute and suitable. The 2010 in comparison seems like a more PG version of the 84. Which is an aspect why I think the movie got a low rating. The 84 one seems a bit more serious, straight to the point, less emotional induced. oh, and it’s not as random. I was watching the online version, so I might have missed important tidbits to why they moved to Beijing from Detroit. lol And I personally think the movie should have been taken place in Japan, for it to be called Karate Kid. Overall I give this movie a *** stars.
