I saw the trailer for this when I took my son to see "Diary of a Whimpy Kid" (which was an absolute riot  :*))).
I totally want to see the Karate Kid remake.

OK, I thought the original was entertaining, but why is Jackie Chan teaching Kung Fu in a movie named "Karate..."?  :/O  Am I missing something?  Did they mis-label the original too?
I did see a comentary on the trailer for the movie on U-Tube and it was narrated by a fake Schwartzenager, which sort of brought up the same point (along with some profanity).   :o
I also heard a professional movie critic on the radio that bascally said to save my money for the new show on Shek that is opening next week.  Is this an unfair comment?   ???

I was surprised and really enjoyed it...it's a remake that stands on its own, unlike many other remakes coming out left and right... O0

It was OK.

I did like the tournament scenes at the end. Those boys beat the crap out of each other.
I also liked how they handled the whole sand floor, wax on/wax off, paint fence thing. Very clever.
