A nice homage to the 1984 original. It manages to capture the overall feel of the original while giving it a modern update. Taking place in China and, despite the name, utilizing Kung Fu the overall plot of the story is essentially the same as the original. For those who like myself grew up with the original this one will not live up to it. However the original does feel a little dated now and so this is a great way to share a film experience from your past with a new generation.
See it in the theatre if you have a child or if you have never seen the original. If this does not include you than it is not a must see in theatre or on DVD as the original will still do just fine.
Overall rating 3.5/5
