Jackie And Jaden's KARATE KID Trailer Is Out And ... Impressive?
Okay, there is absolutely no acceptable reason for this film to be called The Karate Kid when they are very clearly NOT USING KARATE and the sort of cultural insensitivity that says all Asian cultures and all martial arts are the same is more than a little bit maddening.  This is true and must be acknowledged.  But what also must be acknowledged is that the Jackie Chan / Jaden (son of Will) Smith starring Karate Kid remake has just dropped its first trailer and much crow must be eaten because this looks shockingly good.  As in quite possibly the best English language performance of Chan's career good.  As in star making for Smith good.  As in significantly better than the original good.  Yeah, it's just a trailer and may not represent the finished product but my skepticism just disappeared in a puff of smoke.  Check it below.
