Every series needs a second reboot...right? Well according to critics, audiences, and the box-office, the answer (for this film) is YES! 16 years after the dismal fourth entry, the fifth film decided to completely reboot the series with brand-new characters, a new location--China, and a few extra surprises. Taking the same story as the original '84 film, Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith produced this movie as a star vehicle for their son Jayden Smith. Why do some critics consider this remake better than original? Join Corbin and Allen as they review The Karate Kid to find out!
