Currently with a 5.2/10 rating, this film is one of a kind, that's because it has the rating it deserves. No less, no more. I went into this film with not so high hopes, and left constantly bashing it in my head. It shows what good previews and trailers can do, fool stupid people like me into wasting $11.99 to see such a mediocre film. This film is cheese and corn galore. So many lines in this movie are just unrealistic, and just stupid if you said them in real life. I know this is supposed to be a teens movie, but seriously, I don't think the teens liked it either. You cannot get more cheesier or more clichéd than this. Vanessa Hudgens should stay in High School Musical, and Alex Pettyfer is just a pure untalented mess, all he has is his good looks. Though, I do give this movie kudos for making him actually look like a beast. I know some people who haven't seen the movie don't think he looked like a beast, but Alex Pettyfer on the poster and Alex Pettyfer in the movie are very different. His scars are way worse, also I sat in the front row, and the huge boil on the side of his face and the scars looked delicious. So, see it or flee it? Flee it maybe until you can get it on DVD to watch with your child.

See it, or Flee it?
13 June 2010
Currently, with a 5.1/10 rating, this is a very underrated film. I don't understand why Jaden Smith is getting so much hate, whether it is because he was "pushed in" to the movie business or if it's because he's playing a black person who moves to China, where in the original, the main character is white. I can tell that a large amount of people that voted haven't even seen this before. This film contains beautiful cinematography, great fighting scenes, and fun music for the audience to listen to.
Let's forget that the main character is black, and is moving to China, for a second. Do you think this movie would still have gotten 5.1/10? I truly recommend this film to everyone. Children and even adults will like this movie. Before you go to the movie, don't base it on the IMDb rating, because most likely, you'll go into the film thinking it's bad, then going with the crowd. First, check the IMDb message boards, or check a website with real critics like Rotten Tomatoes, or AOL movies.
This is one of the my favourite films (though not the best) of 2010, and should not be missed by anybody. So should you ask the question "See it, or flee it?" I will, and as will many others respond with a "see it". 7/10.
