Show all (12)When his mother's career results in a move to China, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) finds that he is a stranger in a strange land. Though he knows a little karate, his fighting skills are no match for Cheng, the school bully. Dre finds a friend in Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), a maintenance man who is also a martial-arts master. Mr. Han teaches Dre all about kung fu in the hope that Dre will be able to face down Cheng and perhaps win the heart of a pretty classmate named Mei Ying.

this was a good movie,considering it was a remake. No new ideas in Hollywood!!!Jackie Chan was great as Mr. Han---however this was called the Karate kid, even though Dre was taught Kung fu!!! Why was this not called the Kung Fu kid???Jaden Smith was believeable, although he appeared somewhat wimpy at times, for a tough Detroit kid. Overall, you will enjoy the movie despite the above mentioned flaws

The karate kid was a great movie, probably the best dramatic film that I accually like in years which is really rare for me as I prefer horror films. The two kids that liked each other in the movie didn't have as big of a love connection as the first karate kid, but what do you expect from a twelve year old kid :). Overall I didn't really find any flaws that I hated, so it was an exteamly good movie that i'm sure people will be talking about for years.
