Now if you like the original films, you may still like this film--it's hard to tell, however, because they are such different movies. This film doesn't really tell the same story, but in the case of this movie, it's okay. Jackie Chan plays a great Mr. Miyagi-type-character, and Jaden Smith does a great job playing his apprentice.
I felt that the messages are not as strong in this film, compared to the first one. And though it is moving, it is definitely not as powerful or moving as the original either. The acting was good, the story keeps you entertained and interested, and the character depth is tremendous. They really did a great job on not directly imitating the first movie.
It was both humorous and suspenseful, without straying too far away from either. It was a refreshing change of pace from your usual kids movie, and also from your usual action flick. Watch this movie and bring your kids.
Overall Grade: A-
