4 stars out of 5 -- THE KARATE KID trusts you'll choose to come along on the journey, and you do. While we all know Smith will face off against his attackers at the big match, his story never feels calculated...
Box Office

Rating: 3/5 -- At two hours plus the film is much too long (do we really need that many montages of seeing Smith train?), but it just manages to provide enough watchable entertainment to keep less demanding members of the audience happy. Full Review

3.5 stars out of 5 -- THE KARATE KID is a kung fun kick of a film that hits more than it misses, with its fresh prince of Beijing in Jaden Smith...
Los Angeles Times
Jun 11, 2010
3.5 stars out of 4 -- The Chinese locations add visual interest, there are scenes of splendor in mountains and on the Great Wall, and the characters are once again engaging.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jun 9, 2010
Rating: 3/5 -- The story's good intentions survive, largely because of Chan's way of tenderising his approach to martial arts with humour and humility. Full Review
Sydney Morning Herald
Jul 7, 2010
Rating: 2/5 -- How Harald Zwart, the director, justified bulking the film up to 140 minutes defies understanding. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- Smith is more athletic and natural in the role, enjoying a surprisingly supple chemistry with Chan.

Product Description:

When a 12-year-old from Detroit moves to China with his mother and incurs the wrath of the class bully at his new school, he makes an unlikely ally in the form of his aging maintenance man, a kung fu master who teaches him the secrets to self-defense. Upon arriving at his new school, Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) develops a powerful crush on pretty classmate Mei Ying. The feeling is mutual, although the cultural divide between Dre and Mei Ying makes a friendship unlikely, and romance impossible. When cruel classmate and kung fu prodigy Cheng learns of Dre's feelings for Mei Ying, he harasses and humiliates the young outsider in front of the entire school. With no one to turn to for help, Dre confides his fears in kindly maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), a kung fu master who knows that serenity and maturity -- not punches and power -- are the true keys to mastering the martial arts. As Dre prepares to face down his intimidating tormentor, he begins to realize that the real fight is just beginning.
