Wasn't expecting much from this. Jackie Chan as Mr Miyagi and changing the wax on wax off scene to jacket on and jacket off did not inspire me. plus that the lead kid is about ten years old, and it's kung fu and no karate... Despite all this though it is an entertaining enough film.
Jaden Smith has oodles of charisma very similar to his dads and obviously have a bright future. Chan doesn't do any of his silly gags and comedy and instead gives a very subtle and nuanced performance of a quiet humble handyman - who also knows a thing or too about kung fu.
so the story is fairly standard and won't take a genius to work out what happens, but the journey the film takes you on is a nice enough one. enjoy.
