Rated:GoodNot groundbreaking, but still very decent. If you watched the original, this will bring back good memories - not disappointing at all! -
Rated:GoodIt's a nice movie. The essence of the '84 classic is there. Ok, it's not karate but who cares? Watch it and have fun with all the cliches -
Rated:GoodA good surprise of this year. The physical language of kung fu, plus the younger age of the protagonist, makes it tighter than the original. -
Rated:EPIC!Jackie Chan is much more sober this time. And the kid, great as always. -
Rated:GoodFirst of all, kung fu, not karate. It was a good surprise, not a remake of the old one, nor better then, just different. Worth the shot.
