So glad Jaden Smith's career ended


Nepotism is fine, as long as you deliver the goods once you're in the industry. But Will Smith was clearly trying to shove his son down our throats, whether he was good or not. Glad we won't see him ruining anymore classic franchises.

But he was good in this. Up until puberty, Jaden was a decent actor. I just don't think he had the right look as a teenager or young adult. Not sure he'll ever get that back, but we'll see.

I did see his Karate Kid on the big screen in 2010 and it was decent. It scrapes in as 'fresh' on RT as well.

It is not unusual to see that happen. Child stardom will always be a temporary thing.

he's a rapper now.

Pissing everybody off by remaking a beloved classic film wasn't a brilliant strategy for launching an acting career.

He was better off doing a Fresh Prince prequel.
