I was sick all of last week and as a result was a bit out of touch with things for a few days. I was flipping through websites, reading and catching up on things when I came across these pictures of the upcoming Karate Kid remake, The Kung-Fu Kid, and the strangest thing happened. I shook my head, rolled my eyes and found myself actually resenting this movie for some unknown reason.

I don't really know why, because I haven't really heard much about this movie aside from the story we all know from the original Karate Kid. Where a young kid is forced to move from the home he knows and loves to a foreign and hostile land due to his mother's work. The young boy is picked on and beat up until a very unsuspecting guardian teaches him the ways of kung-fu.

Maybe it's because on the list of my most beloved 80's movies, Karate Kid is one I really didn't want to see remade, or messed with at all really. As corny as that movie was at some points, I still loved it, crane kick and all. Maybe it's because I'm really not digging the casting of Jaden Smith for this role. I don't know, I still have to figure this one out, but for now I still roll my eyes and shake my head whenever I look at these pics.

Take a look at these pics and let me know how you feel about this remake so far.
