The Karate Kid (2010)

Director: Harald Zwart
Release Date:

In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

It's a Great Movie, so shut up, you haters! (P.S. You know who you are)

First off, I know it's hard to top the original Karate Kid. But this film is pretty good. At least in this film, Jackie Chan certainly did better as Mr. Han (a.k.a. Chinese Mr. Myagi) than he did in "The Spy Next Door". Jaden Smith (while he's no Ralph Macchio) can be able to hold his own on-screen. Plus, I thought the music was epic. My only gripes are the major nods to the original are either drastically altered into stupid twists or ommited entirely. I mean, "jacket on, jacket off" and no "You're the Best" song? How disappointing. Nonetheless, it's a good family film, and all those who disagree (while they're entitled to their own opinion) could (wait for it...) GET THEMSELVES A BODYBAG!! YEAHHHH!!!!


Karate Kid!

The movie is brilliant! Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan are great actors! Overall I'd say it was probably the one of the best movies I've ever seen. Recommended to people of all ages.

OMG! I saw this with my mom and we loved it! The ending was a little violent, but we still liked it. It has action, drama, and comedy all mixed together. This is a great family film and I recommend that you at least rent it.
