Karate Kid all the way! I love that movie and I didn't even watch the prior ones made. I love Jayden and Jackie together. I wouldn't watch A-Team if admission to the theater was free because it is freaking stupid and douchie-mcdouche that gets paid for touching guys' butts had to audacity to be stupid and contribute to the oh-so-middle-school trend of "that's gay." Stupid-ass. Anyhoo, to reiterate, Karate Kid is awesome!

Why aren’t there any movies worth seeing anymore? Seriously, Avatar was the only movie I though was worth spending $11 for in the last year. In retrospect I should have waited for it to come out on demand.

to be fair i haven't seen either yet but just from the previews and actors involved i think Karate Kid is going to be much better than A team... think about it, Will Smiths son vs. NOT mister T.

None! I personally can think of countless movie ideas and show concepts, none of which have been done before. Hollywood producers and directors are LAZY!

none, being a product of the 80's. Why must we keep remaking movies. Don't we have any new ideas?

Holy_Grail:
There is a HUGE difference in using myths and archetypes like the Heroes Journey that uses those generic themes and motivations over since the ideas are ingrained in the psyche.
And being so trite as use the same TITLE, characters and plot over again because they are safe with a proven track record that the studios can bank on for their investments because they have a built-in audience. It's only about money, since they don't want to risk any more of it on anything original
It's the way those ideas are used that makes the difference. Even in Enchanted that had all the standard ideas for fairy tales did something different with them in an original way by taking them from flat 2D animation and adding another dimension to the easy motivations and predictable "happily ever after" endings to show that it was more complex than that.

Yes, ideas, if you can think it up there is something out there addressing or referencing it. Topics are different than replicas.
...but there is a BIG difference between using a similar topic and redoing something that was classic and didn't need a makeover.

I pity the fool that tries to walk in Mr. T's shoes, that's too much to try to measure up to.
Jackie Chan can more than equal Pat Morita but I doubt that Jaden Smith can fill in for Raph Macchio

I agree. Why can't Hollywood realize remakes are not the way to go? We need more originality in movies nowadays.. There should be less of these series, remakes, and movies that largely consist of nothing but their bad soundtracks that are made just for the money and not the actual movie part of the movie, and we should lose the large amount of CGI in movies lets get some real action on there and not just a bunch of fake images that ruin most movies.

Don't hold your breath while waiting
That is the point that most of the people that invest in movies haven't had the strength to risk an original movie, especially in the last decade.
That is the reason why there have been so many remakes, because they want to make a safe return on their money
