Karate Kid.... Broke? Or made better?

Yes. They are making a Karate Kid remake. Will it be better than the the original? Well, The storyline will be a lot better since it deals with a black kid moving to China and being treated like straight up garbage. The acting might be a tad refined because well aside from Pat Morrita's awesome turn as Mr. Miyagi, Ralph Macchio's acting skills were horrible. The new movie has Jayden Smith and Jackie Chan (from what I saw in the Trailer the role fits him pretty well) so they actually seem to have some chemistry as Student and Teacher. The movie will NOT be as timeless as the original of course, BUT the strength of the original one is losing its grip with the new generation. I loved the original Karate Kid, But I think its pretty safe for me to say that I'll be seeing the new one. I don't think I'm blaspheming as many people who loved the original might say. I really think that a lot of people hold on to the 80's so much that they feel any remake of a key movie of their 80's childhood is a horrible and awful thing. Hey guys SPOILER ALERT: its going to keep happening! Hollywood will continue to remake movies over and over again, They've been doing it for a very long time!
Do you know what happens when a 9 year old kid in the present day watches the Karate Kid on TV? 8 times out of 10 they have this confused look on their face and wonder "Why am I watching this? What have I done to make my parents hate me so much that they're making me watch a movie from the Jurassic Period?" We are the only ones who still enjoy the Karate Kid! I can watch the original like 5 times a year and be a happy camper, to me that movie will always be a bookmark in my memory banks. I'm always going to love that damn movie! Is a remake necessary? Why is there a black kid in it? I see these stupid ass questions posted everywhere! Who cares that its a black kid?! Remakes are gonna happen all the time! EVERYTHING is eventually a remake of something, Hollywood loves to remake and redo. Look at the women there, they're all old women made to look new... Just like the movies. Karate Kid remake might be really good, Heck it might even be way better than the original. But rest assured no one can ever take this away from us old timers:



I'll tell you what when the new one comes out I'll review it... But who knows maybe it'll be an incredible piece of shit and I'll bash it with the rest of you. Then we can all die happy.
