Jackie Chan stars in this remake of the 1984 hit movie. Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) and his mother, Sherry (Taraji P. Henson) move to China for her work and Dre has trouble adjusting to the new lifestyle and getting along with the local boys. He meets Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) who is the maintenance man at the apartments where he lives and after a couple of fights Mr. Han agrees to help Dre learn to defend himself and compete in the local Karate tournament. The movie follows pretty much along the lines of the original film where the young boy meets a girl and the girls relatives are all against their being together. There are some differences but they are minor to the plot. Jackie Chan gives a good performance in this film but there is (in my opinion) not enough of him fighting in this one. However since the movie is all about the boy, that is understandable. Jaden Smith, who also starred in The Pursuit of Happyness and The Day the Earth Stood Still gives another good performance and is showing that he can become a great actor. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a great coming of age movie or likes a good Karate action movie.Read full review
