Even with Smith's annoying performance, the film has enough good elements to make it worth seeing. Even with all its flaws, the film does have an important message, standing up for yourself, and it makes you feel good as the lead character gets even by defining himself and defeating his bully in a karate tournament. Overall this is a fun, worthwhile film that succeeds just enough where most remakes fail. 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. Avildsen on AllMovie - When a 12-year-old from Detroit moves to China The Karate Kid (2010) - Harald Zwart, John G.
