Wow, what can I say. One of the worst films I've ever seen. It's laughably bad and the surprise ending is a total cheap shot. I'm not sure what movie it was trying to be but it doesn't work as a drama, a romantic comedy, or a coming of age story. The only good part of the movie was the board room argument between Brosnan and Pattinson... and that lasted a whole 4 minutes. The weirdest part of the film is how a simple head shaving seems to be the tragedy that brings the family back together. Just like the actions of it's characters "Remember Me" is all over the place.
Not a bad film... but not great. There is some good ideas here and some laughs. But in the end it never really comes together. The highlight is by far Crispin Glover.
Has a really good set up, with some decent performances. The film falls a bit flat in the middle with the characters going from one set piece to the next with really no reason or development. The CGI is not very good in a few scenes especially the end. Overall the filmmakers deliver a watchable film with some good scares... just shut it off before the last five minutes.
A good retelling of the original story. I liked the hyped up action sequences and the China locations. However, the film is basically a remake copying the original story in just about every way. The performances are good but lack the depth of the original. And the fact that it's called the Karate Kid and the boy is learning Kung Fu... leads me to wonder why they just didn't do their own film loosely based on the original.
