The new Karate Kid makes me think of Riley Freeman from The Boondocks.

Jackie Chan seems like an okay replacement for Pat Mortia. He will be missed.

Pah. I don't know why people treat the original Karate Kid as such a gem. It's mediocre at best.

it smells like dust and moon light
I personally loved it a shitload more than the original.

You all need to stop looking at the original through them nostalgia glasses.

I thought it was one of the better remakes iv ever seen, i thought it was funny that the sensai from the "evil dojo" has pretty much the EXACT same dialog as the sensai from kobra-kai (no i dont care how u spell it)
and there was no karate in the whole movie, just kung-fu
but still you can never beat Mr. Miyag

I quote a post from another forum which may help clarify why they saw fit to title a movie about kung fu "The Karate Kid":

Not to go too geek here, but the style of martial arts Mr. Miyagi taught is Goju-Ryu, an off-shoot of what is commonly referred to as Okinawan Kenpo. Okinawan Kenpo was "created" when Shaolin Monks traveled to Okinawa and taught the farmers their style of martial arts and adapted it to their every day tasks. Chōjun Miyagi later modified it again and called it Goju-Ryu. The "Mr. Miyagi" character is based off of Chōjun Miyagi.

Kenpo, or sometimes called Kempo, is the Japanese translation for the Chinese word Chuan'fa. It means "Chinese Hands"

Kenpo/Kempo. Shaolin Chuan'Fa, and the Korean art of Tang Soo Do (Way of Chinese Hands) are all basically the same Martial Art. The Japanese and Korean styles have been adapted for the region and lifestyles. Chuan'Fa later had its name changed to "Kung Fu" due to government fear of a rebellion. That's an even longer story than I've already typed out.

I don't know much about the history of martial arts, myself, but it seems reasonable to me.

it also helps that it was almost a direct remake, all the main scenes from karate kid are in this one, and alot of lines
