This looks really bad, really really bad! A nice little cash in for the studio (Sony). Not to be picky either but isn’t that Kung Fu in the trailer? The original was one of my favorite films from my childhood, looking back now, yes it was a bit cheesey to say the least but nostalgia is a great feeling, trust Hollywood to break that into little pieces the b**terds! The only positive thing I can say is that Jackie Chan looks quite good in this.

The Karate Kid, directed by Harald Zwart (The Pink Panther 2), stars Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan, and Taraji P. Henson. Smith plays Dre, a skateboarding video game buff who moves to China after his single mother is forced to go there for work. Unable to speak Chinese, Dre finds it hard to settle in, and gets beat up by the local bully. Chan plays Mr. Han, a maintenance man who spots his black-eye and offers to teach him both martial arts and Chinese, so he can defend against all the kung-fu students.
