Karate Kid & Jackie

Yesterday I saw Karate Kid. I just want to let everyone know, it was a great movie!! I loved it!! However, as I was writing to my friend about it, I realized that Jackie Chan is getting old. What is he, on his 50's? I think. Watching Karate Kid made me realize many things, and Jackie Chan's age hit me! :(
Well, like I said before it was a really good movie. Even though I have not seen the old ones, I am pretty sure that they must be better than this one. I still give kudos to Jackie though because he is a great actor and any movie he casts in is great. I mean who hasnt seen him in Rush Hour?

In case you havent heard of Karate Kid here is a summary from imdb.com :
12-year-old Dre Parker could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

So, if you have any extra time this weekend, try and watch Karate Kid. I really recommend it, except I am still disapointed with a scene in the movie that I didnt agree with. But Oh, well...
