The remake game is getting WAY too carried away. Hello people, not every movie in the world needs to be remade.
I totally agree there are some movies that just don't need remaking, how could anyone make the original Karate Kid better? It's just too awesome already. Wax on, wax off.
Heh hehe I said wax off
Jackie Chan is a strange choice too. The whole point of Mr. Miyagi in part one was you had to wonder if the old crackpot was really a Karate master, or just using the poor kid. With Jackie Chan in the role, it just ruins the whole setup. Not to mention he will try to take over the movie...
Yeah, that kind of struck me as a little odd too.
Personally, I think the film is going to suck ass. As much as I like Jackie Chan, I just don't see Will Smith being able to top what the original film gave us.
They're just making money off of the fact that kids today are so retarded. Studios can make a film about absolutely nothing and make insane amounts of money. I'm not saying the 80's were immune to craptastic films. It just seems to me that there are more craptastic films than there was in the 80's. I like movies and I try to give every movie a chance, no matter how lame it may be. But it really stretches my tolerances when movies like, "The Adventures of Lava Girl and Shark Boy," "Bratz," and, "Daddy Day Camp," are considered the epitome of children movies.
What the ---fudgesicle---? What the hell happened to having a ---smurfing--- commune with 99 guys and 1 woman all living in giant mushrooms and having daily acid trips where they see a giant?
