First of all I'd like to note that I'm doing 3 things at the same time. 1 - writing this blog post. 2 - streaming the Chile vs Switzerland match. 3 - streaming Federer's 1st Rd match in Wimbledon. I was streaming Federer because he was in trouble. He has since won the 4th set to tie it 2-2. 5th deciding set now.
Anyway, just watched 'The Karate Kid'. It was AWESOME. I think I had moments of tears forming in my eyes at 2 different parts of the movie. Kids crying always break my heart. Haha! Jaden Smith was awesome too. Not only can he do kunfu or karate, he can do his own stunts, & rap too! (I believe at the credits part he was rapping with Justin Bieber?!) I mean, these are kid actors! I believe most, if not all all the action stunts are done by themselves? My guess is they started out having already learnt kunfu, then being plucked out to act as well? These kids are kick-ass! Even way better action stuff than some adult action movies. And what a brilliant way to do slo-mo in a natural way (i.e on the replay board.)
Jaden is going to be a big star no doubt. Even though he has a famous dad & mum, he does really well in his first starring movie. This is going to help him not only physically, but also mentally. You can only get better with the guidance of his parents. If you stayed behind to watch the picture slides during the credits, you can see that his parents were in a number of them... I just love family bonding!!
The thing about this movie is that kids can watch it & like it too. In fact, the cinema I was in was full of family with kids. Adults get so engrossed in the movie that there were claps when he eventually dealt the winning blow. Im sure is more of in awe and also the stunning somersault made. I just went "Wow." So cool. When audience show such reactions, you know your movie is doing well to keep the attention of audience throughout the movie. And so far reviews have been pretty good too. Would definitely recommend you people to go watch it.
To be honest, I am a little curious about the bad kid leader towards the end of the movie. He is kind of cool too! Haha... won't be surprised if we see more of him in the future... need to do my research now. Haha!
