There are too many harsh reviews in regards to this movie. Had to express it a little better.
As other reviews said, this should be called "The Kung Fu" kid. It's a remake of "The Karate Kid" but with with Asia culture in it & humor.
The acting was in fact "cheesy" not gonna lie. Especially, Jaden Smith. I think he still fit the role pretty well. Without him, there would be no comedy. Jackie Chan fit the role pretty well too.
What I really enjoyed was seeing Asian Culture & Kung Fu itself. I learned about Kung Fu mountain (scene where the monks meditated & did Tai Chi). Without this movie, I wouldn't haven't known or wanting to visit there.
All in all, it wasn't That bad. I think people just had too high expectations & is harshly comparing to the first Karate Kid.
Yes, the Title could be a little "misleading". But Hollywood did need to add a different flavor to the remake & they did "just that".
