Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 2/5 --
The script is a lumbering, ponderous thing.
London Evening Standard
Rating: 3/10 --
A cliched and predictable script mixed with the miscasting of Jaden Smith make The Karate Kid a pretty dull film. Stick with the original.

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.

This remake is fun, lighthearted and enormously entertaining. A great family film.

Big Hollywood
Rating: B --
Both actors hooked me into this remake, managing to make me feel both nostalgic and surprised at the same time. This isn't just one of the better remakes in recent memory, it's one of the stronger big-summer releases so far.

Product Description:
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.
