Karate Kid, The (2010)

IMDB: The Karate Kid

Basic Plot: This is the remake of the 1984 title. I’d forgotten how SAD parts of the first movie were until I watched this, mildly sniffle-eyed, next to my sniffled-eyed cohort. As this version is set in China and revolves around kung-fu, not karate, it was released in that country as Kung-Fu Kid.

Outburst: Okay, so Jackie Chan will never fill the shoes of Pat Morita — thank goodness he isn’t really trying for that. Don’t let the naysayers keep you from the theatre, for this movie is surely worthy of the big screen.

/DVD — A gem of a film. Carve out a space for the DVD on your shelve, next to the original.
