Karate Kid 2010 Full Movie
Free Movies Karate Kid 1984
The Karate Kid is an excellent coming-of-age sports film filled with heart and humor that doesn't test your gag reflex. Even if you love the original the new version is a worthy follow up, both comfortable and fresh, and that isn't easy to do.

Jun 10, 2010 Watch video Over the years, I have taken a lot of grief from friends for making The Karate Kid, the 1984 movie directed by Rocky Oscar winner John G. Avildsen, one of my five favorite movies of all time. So it was with apprehension and low expectations that I went to see the remake.
- It's as sweet-natured a movie as you could expect about a 12-year-old learning to beat the crap out of his schoolmates.

The latest 'The Karate Kid' will probably work best for young audiences unaware of its predecessor - or of much of anything else for that matter.- It's not as good as the 1984 version. I say that not just out of nostalgia, but because I think that that was a more satisfying drama.

If the movie's overlong (and it is, by about 20 minutes), it's long for a reason: It gives Dre time to grow.- The script follows the predictable path from humiliation to humility to a climactic showdown, complete with a deciding slow-motion kick.
- This year's Kid lacks the light-hearted buoyancy of the original; it's heavier with loss and a particularly vicious cruelty.
- Is this 'Karate Kid' as good as the original? No, although it is better than the sequels. But why bother with nostalgia? It's probably good enough.
- The Karate Kid is precisely the sort of rousing, stand-up-and-cheer, feel-good entertainment movie audiences have been starved for this summer.
- While we all know Smith will face off against his attackers at the big match, his story never feels calculated or focus-grouped for maximum audience appeal. And when he does prove his worth, we cheer like it's the first time.
- In a marketplace mad for 3D, it's good to see a dramatic adventure built for young audiences (and the rest of us) that achieves its depth the old-fashioned way, with characters struggling and maturing.
- Chan and Smith could not be more likable, along with their cast of young Chinese actors, particularly Wenwen Han.
- Great visuals, good performances, a strong story--but it's far too long and not nearly as memorable as the original.
- The new Karate Kid brings fresh life and perspective to the classic tale of perseverance and cross-generational friendship, thanks to Harald Zwart's sensitive direction and two exceptionally appealing stars.
- A popcorn picture that thinks it's The Last Emperor, The Karate Kid is about as likely to grab your youngster's attention as any other propaganda film made by the Chinese government.
- It was resonant in the gung-ho '80s, and it's a notion every generation deserves to discover anew. Based on the young Smith's considerable wattage, this Kid may just surpass the original.

Smith can handle what the film throws at him, and he and Chan nail the life-lesson parts. Yet like the way Han kills a fly with a swatter instead of catching it with chopsticks, the film replaces finesse with hit-you-over-the-head might.- It's a kids' movie, aimed at kids and the people who buy their tickets. And on that level, it doesn't disappoint.
- The Karate Kid indulgently runs 2 hours, 20 minutes, at least a half hour more than it needs, while delivering less fun and inspiration than before.
- Jaden is endearing in his own way, and the abstract notion of Jackie Chan in Pat Norita's role of the wise mentor almost obscures the reality of Mr. Chan's zonked performance, which simulates warm feelings toward the kid without risk of infectiousness.
- The Karate Kid is a kung fu kick of a film that hits more than it misses, with its fresh prince of Beijing in Jaden Smith, its scene-stealing grand master flash, Jackie Chan, and a shiny-happy China travelogue thrown in for good measure..
