Dre has nowhere to turn but to maintenance man Mr. Han, 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 desertcart.com A remake of the 1984 film of the same name, The Karate Kid well exceeds expectations, delivering a powerful viewing experience filled with action-packed martial arts scenes, great footage of China and its many wonders, and an absorbing story of a preadolescent boy's struggle to find his own inner strength. The title Karate Kid is really a misnomer as it is the art of kung fu that is practiced in this remake, not karate, and other details, including the film's setting in China, also differ from the original film. What remains the same, and just as powerful, is the underlying story: a young boy moves to a new place where he feels isolated and is bullied by his peers. Through an unlikely relationship with an adult, the boy not only learns to protect himself through martial arts, but develops the much more important qualities of respect and the mastery of one's own mind and body. Relative newcomer Jaden Smith (son of actors and producers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith) is excellent as the main character Drek Parker; Jackie Chan gives a restrained and highly effective performance as his mentor Mr. Han; and Zhenwei Wang is eerily believable as the bully Chen. This is an intense and often violent film that fully engulfs its viewers--be prepared to gasp and cheer out loud, and know that you may never look at the act of putting on and taking off a jacket in the same way again. (Ages 8 and older with parental guidance) --Tami Horiuchi Review: Way, way better than I expected - Like many people, I have fond nostalgic memories of the original. However, I feel this movie is just as good and excellent family entertainment that both kids and adults will love. I'm not a big fan of cliches or being emotionally manipulated and this movie's interpretation of Mr. Han's loss of his wife was very powerful. Jackie Chan and Lil' Smith kid did a great job acting for a tough scene. Sure the end of the scene was a bot cliche, but everything leading up to it made it ok. They referenced and nodded to the original through sight gags and came up with new ways to retell this story creatively and made it very exciting. Since they took some risks, you really doubted which way the move was going - even at the end. Sadly, many of the negative reviews are calling out one of two things: 1) The "karate" kid is now black and 2) He learned Kung Fu, not Karate. I thought it was all about the story? To the first point, both the original and the new version have nothing to do with race - even though both are about different cultures finding commonality in each other (Pat Morita was Japanese, people). In fact, in many spots where a less mature director would take advantage of a black kid from Detroit to bring "street smarts" to China, the high road is taken as are some of the opportunities for Chinese stereotypes. This movie was made with great respect of Chinese culture and not over representing an "American" attitude as a fish out of water. To the second point, I doubt most negative reviews would know that it was Kung Fu if the movie hadn't said so. Karate is a Japanese art, not Chinese, so it makes sense that he didn't learn Karate in China. However, I do have to agree that they called it the "Karate Kid" just for advertising purposes. I think people would have been ok with calling it the "Kung Fu Kid" with a nod as a Karate Kid remake. Why didn't the movie take place in Japan and call it Karate? Not sure. I highly recommend this movie for family and it works just as easily for adults. It's not as kiddie as people make it out to be and the maturity of the kids as both actors and characters far exceeds that of the original movie. I know we all have nostalgia for Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita (R.I.P!), but this movie is about as good a remake as the original and doesn't skimp on the same emotional roller coaster ride and life lessons.

Jaden Smith; Will Smith's son does a remarkable job as the young man who is moved out of his element only to realize that the change will transform him into a man. In his home town of Detroit, Dre Parker lived in tranquility, surrounded by friends, family and neighbors, a popular kid who says goodbye to it all as he follows his mother to China where she has been relocated by her employer. As soon as he arrives he makes a friend who invites him to play in the park. There he meets Mei Ying and falls for her. They go to the same school and while this makes Dre Parker very happy, it makes a gang of local bullies jealous and soon this young kid gets into all sorts of trouble. Cultural differences are a challenge to us all, but Dre must face his enemies on a daily basis at school. As with the first movie, he wants to go back home because he is a fish out of water, but through a friend played by Jackie Chan, Mr. Han teaches him the art of self defense, and as Dre masters Kung fu, he learns to defend himself, confronting his fears with great courage. The scenery is simply gorgeous, the awareness that kung fu is not about fighting but about learning to control the self, developing great inner strength to face challenges with great serenity leave us all desirous of learning the same lessons. Without a doubt, this is a magnificent movie, worth seeing.
