Karate Kid is a reboot no one asked for and many recognized as a cash cow to pay for Jaden's college fund. Going in I was prepared for it to be a terrible film attempting to appeal to our nostalgia and make younger kids think this is what Karate Kid is all about. It ended up being a solid film. We see him go through all the same situations as Daniel and train up to the final battle at a tournament. In parts they borrowed dialogue word-for-word from the original. This re-imagining holds its own, but I still prefer the original.
4/5
I'm sure the new crop of kids will love this movie. I'll stick with the original, myself!
