Good gawd. Must Hollywood do remakes? Are they ever very good? Where's the vomit smiley...

sterlingice · 02-26-2010, 09:58 AM

I dunno about remakes, per se, but a subset of them (resets) have been doing pretty well lately: Batman, James Bond, Star Trek, etc

SI

Just to buck the trend - I think it looks kinda neat, I'll probably watch it

(then again I'm also excited about the A-Team movie as well

)

Wow, I never realized that kung fu and karate were the same thing.

molson · 02-26-2010, 11:04 AM

Not as bad as I feaerd. It's a different story. Even the "original" Karate Kid was probably inspired by something. There's no new ideas for movies left.

Sgran · 02-26-2010, 11:06 AM

No way the kids will be as evil as Johny and the boys. If there's no evil cackling and a shout of "get him a body bag!" then I'm out.

Oscar buzz building for Mr. Chan.

Will Smith's kid is awesome.

spleen1015 · 02-26-2010, 04:01 PM

I don't think that looks that bad.

stevew · 02-26-2010, 04:23 PM

I won't see it, but it doesn't bother me that it's getting made. I think the trailer looks half decent

Karlifornia · 02-26-2010, 04:39 PM

Yeah, when I first saw this trailer I thought "Ya know, that isn't terrible". Still won't see it, though.

sovereignstar · 02-26-2010, 05:26 PM

Yeah, what's up with that??? 2, 3, and 4 were so awesome. Please don't make a 5th!1!

Not really, but for some reason you decided to focus on remakes.

tarcone · 02-26-2010, 06:05 PM

I'll rent it.

CrimsonFox · 02-26-2010, 06:39 PM

I may never see another movie again

Agreed with all 3 of those posts. Trailer didn't look nearly as bad as I expected before I viewed it.
