SLIDERS REVIEW:
I have been excited about this film from the moment I saw the trailer. So I was excited watching it and was not disappointed. Jaden Smith who plays Dre Parker does do his best with the acting but I feel he couldn’t really handle the emotional scenes. His character is believable which is always key to any character in any film, this makes it heart warming to see him go from just a boy from America to this kung fu fighter in china. Just by watching Jaden Smith act I can see his dad in him. It’s the way he talks and his facial expressions. His dad’s swagger has definitely rubbed off on him.
Surprisingly “Mr Han” who is played by Jackie Chan pulls off an amazing performance in the film simply because his character is not the usual of Jackie Chan. He took a new approach in this one and could land him a Oscar nomination. I believe he is good for it. China made sure to expose itself in this film to the rest of the world because the wide, medium and long shots of the country landmarks are just simply beautiful to look at. Some people will finish watching this film and think they are kung fu fighter because they can put on and put off their jacket just like Jaden Smith does in this movie. LOL
MY STAR RATINGS OUT OF 5: 4
ONE FAVOURITE MOMENT IN THE FILM:
Mr Hans first fight scene will have to be my favourite in this movie because he was able to fight these young kids without hitting them. He makes them hit each other rather than him hitting them.
The visuals in this fight are exciting to say the least.
(If you loved another moment in the film, please feel free to tell me in the comments)
SYNOPSIS:
The plot is about a 12-year-old boy from Detroit who moves to China with his mother and just like any school he runs into bullies who make him feel less than wanted. He meets an old maintenance man, Mr Han who is a kung fu master. He trains him in kung fu for self defence and for a competition where he will meet his nemesis.
TRAILER:
This Film Is Excellent, they didnt play around with the movie to much they still kept the concept and feel of the original karate kid, i didnt think that the film would b good but i must say i enjoyed it very much, and i would reccommend this to every1 who reads this.. theres a new actor in town and his second name is Jaden Smith.... but ill stick with will smith jr
ReplyDeletei thought th film was ok, it took a bit of time to get to the point of the movie, but all in all as soon as it got to the initial concept it began to get much more interesting
ReplyDeleteI personally thought the film was amazing.. Two great actors who pulled off their roles perfectly. Using the original concept of 'Karate Kid', but updating the key features. It worked so well (especially since Kung Fu is 100x more interesting than Karate lol)..
ReplyDeleteThe only downfall that I can pinpoint, is the fact it took long to get to the initial story.. But once it kicked in, I was glued to the screen.
Easily a 9/10 rating for this film.
The Karate Kid is fun, and believable. Abit of action, not 2 much. I would reccommend it people aged 4-30 old people wont like it I think. It could have been better, the story line was predictable. ill give it a 8/10
