Why are the critics giving the Karate Kid good reviews when its a story already told?

Do the critics have to give it good reviews for fear they would be racist if they didn’t?
How can it be as good or better than the original..when it’s a stolen story?

Not all remakes have to be the same. Like an above poster said, a fresh approach gives it a new kick (haha pun not intended), so that while it may not be as good as the original, it’s good in a different way. Sometimes remakes have to be judged out of the shadow of their predecessor so they can really come into their own style. And maybe the critics are not taking it seriously as it’s not meant to be. Maybe they’re just reviewing it for what it is: a fun movie.

    Like any other remake, different actors bring excitement to the same story. While some people might enjoy the new movie, there are some who always prefer any original over remakes – just because!

    Yes, it is the same with those politics critics about Obama, they fear being label racist.
