I’ve seen the original Karate Kid, but I don’t really remember it. Plenty of people do cite it as a classic. When I heard this one featured Jackie Chan I was both excited and confused. The excitment is easy to explain, the confustion coming through the fact that Jackie Chan does Kung Fu, not Karate. But we’ll gloss over that to enjoy the film shall we?

For something set in the 80s it felt a lot like something from the 80s with a lack of the cynical blatentism seen a lot these days. Perhaps I’d have enjoyed it more had I not watched it on the back of The Hangover. That said it ends up not so bad really.
Well here’s a turn up for the books. After seeing the trailer for this I decided I’d never put myself through watching it ever. No. Not ever. Until someone told me I really should and being a sucker for a personal recommendation watch I did.

“What we’re going to do is going to take stories based on a mastermind and turn them into a fast paced action movie” said Guy Ritchie “Innit.”
Well that’s what he’s done, sounds utterly preposurous. I was pleased to discover that it actually works really well. Again when you hear that Robert Downey, Jr and Jude Law are to play Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson you’ll be surprised to hear those are listed respectively. Totally not the way round I expected.
