I really liked the fact that the film was set in China, and it added an authentic flavor to the Karate Kid, which is what stands out the most about the film. The direction is good, but never great, and the plot does leave a lot for improvement. Although the film suffers from the usual remake aspects, such as not being able to capture the essence of the original, this is still a good flick, and it is very entertaining, but the original is far better. The fight scenes are great, very well done and intense as well. He finally was able to make a good film after a few years doing bad ones. A performance that really stood out for me was that of Jackie Chan, I really am not a fan of his work, and he was wonderful here. I mean really, the kid's acting is horrible. I personally feel that another actor could have played his part. The choice of the lead actor being Jaden Smith was questionable and I found him more annoying than anything. The movie was enjoyable, but there were many things that I didn't like.
Respectable remake of the classic film of the same name, The Karate Kid is an entertaining, fun film for the entire family.
