Once again, I want to say a big "thank you" to my sister-in-law, Mabel Eva, who gave me a pair of complimentary movie tickets to this movie which I've watched on Monday afternoon! :)
I absolutely love it so much! :)
I don't mind watching it again.. :)
I was so impressed with Jaden Smith!
Jaden Smith is such an awesome child actor!
Although this was not his 1st big screen performance but I think he did a great job in this movie.. :)
Such impressive & convincing acting of a child actor at such a young age!
One can also see that he put in a lot of hard work & effort into his role & his martial arts skills were good..
I'm very sure he's gonna grow up to become one of Hollywood's best actors around!
Will Smith & his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith has indeed taught him very well & without a doubt, he has definitely inherited their awesome acting genes! :)
