Just got back. It is an entirely satisfactory remake. I didn't think it could work but it does.
In the movie it very clearly makes the point that kung fu is not karate. I can kind of see the choices they had to make in that while kung fu is the martial art involved, it is very much a remake and not a sequel or a spin off or inspired by the original and using the same title makes that point. But yeah, I'd have preferred a different title. But fortunately, the title is pretty much the only insulting thing about the movie.
