Some photos from the reboot of THE KARATE KID have arrived for your pleasure. Wait...pleasure is definitely the wrong word to use here.

I don't really want to hate on this since it's not really aimed at my demographic. It's possible that there will be a million kids who will love it, and want to grow up to be awesome ninjas. I'm just glad that my KARATE KID was the one from '84 with the classic, 'Wax on, Wax off' line. Only was it that later in life I realized I could use that line for my own perverted comedic purposes.

These pictures are cute and adorable. Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith just learning from one another really melts my heart. The pic in the middle is really hilarious for some reason. As a bonus, you've got the innocent tween romance moment. The precious movie will be coming to you June of 2010.

This looks terrible. What a horrible idea. It looks nothing like the original. Why don't they just cast Jayden in a remake of 3 Ninjas along with his other siblings.

Target Group Pre-Teens, Obviously.....
They've changed the age target range for this movie obviously, and it may do well among the little ones. Unfortunately it won't stand up to the original. And yes the 3rd and 4th sequel's were not very good, but the theme and context of the original shouldn't change but this doesn't target the same age group as the original. Don't think it will do very well, nevertheless I've been surprised...

Don't think it will do very well, nevertheless I've been surprised before so we shall see. I don't see Jackie Chan living up to Pat Morita's version of Mr. Miyagi. Take care.





Peace To All

Lame, guys
What the hell is up with bashing Jaden? Have you seen him act? He's pretty damn good for his age. But I'm sure your beef is actually with Will, and you might be racist lol. Don't be a dick, he's got a ton of potential. And it certainly didn't hurt having a dad like Will.

Will Smiff's Kid
should be the title 'cause thats the only reason little Jayden is in this. That kid is such a waif it looks like a stiff breeze could knock him over. And he's way too young. Daniel-san was 15. The pic with his hands on that Chinese girl makes me ill.

huh? he was really good in pursuit of happyness, maybe he actually is a good actor at a young age? i mean, its possible what you are saying is true, but its also possible that a son of two decent actors happens to be a decent actor himself!

Okay, TOO MUCH PC even for today's standards! Might be great for the programmed youth of today, but, sorry, some things SHOULDN'T be changed to fit in or get the approval of special interest groups.

You little jackasses should be crying about the lame sequels that murdered the franchise and not this reboot.

based on the pictures...
this does appear to be weaksauce. but theres nothing i can do about it, i'm 27, its not supposed to be for me. it'll probably make a shit ton of cash. I'll do what i do with all these remakes, i'll grab my nephews and sit'em down to watch the original. after that i let them decide if they want to see the new one. not much else i can do.

Seriously guys?
How much money would be made if they did a massive re-release of the original? Cue the crickets... This movie has serious profit potential with little kids. Stop being so protective with a "dead" franchise. Your childhood memories will survive intact.

They have turned the karate kid into a kiddie movie! I won't see this in the theaters, but if it's decent at all maybe I'll rent it. I Really would have liked to see a more adult film though! Oh well! I guess the moms need something to take the kids to. I just wish it wasn't this!

I think you are confusing the original with American Ninja. The Karate Kid is a kid's movie. That's why the 3-4 times I saw in the theaters, it was packed with other 4th grade boys.

what a piece of sh**
I hope this movie tanks. Why did they have to take a classic and reboot it with 1. a Chinese guy and 2. an African American kid. I don't know why Italians and Japanese aren't screaming bloody murder over this.

Yes, because the fact that a black kid and a Chinese guy are in the movie is the reason its gonna suck...

Man, you strike-backers REALLY have race relation problems.

Wait, it's not the KUNG FU KID anymore? Um, okay. A little strange, considering Jackie Chan doesn't do, you know, karate.

Definitely deserves the HATE
The premise alone show's the indecency of Hollywood:



Will Smith's little kid (not even a teenager mind you) in a remake of the Karate Kid.



What about that DOESN'T deserve hate?

Hmm
As long as they play this straight without any over the top comedic elements, it could be a good movie to take the kids out to.



Lets not hate until we have seen a trailer!

I think Jackie will do a good job with this role. I'm not a big fan of the original, and couldn't take Pat Morita seriously for some reason. Kids are gonna dig this movie.
