“The Karate Kid” was a big classic and definitely, it would be very hard to remake such a classic.

Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) is living in Detroit with his mom Sherry (Taraji Henson). Life seems to be going okay for both until the recession hit. Dre’s mom is forced to get a new job in Beijing to make ends meet and as such, Dre is also forced to move to China. As soon as Dre arrives, he already gets into trouble with Cheng, a bully from his school. Unfortunately for Dre, Cheng is a top student at one of the well-known kung fu clubs in town. One day, Dre is cornered by Cheng and his gang. Out of nowhere, Han (Jackie Chan), the apartment’s maintenance man helps Dre. Dre with Han’s help try to confront Cheng’s kung fu master and soon discover that the aggressive nature of Cheng is due to his teacher’s ways. Han, unknowingly a master of kung fu, decides to teach the art to Dre after he was forced into joining an open kung fu tournament. Can the maintenance man teach the stubborn kid from the West kung fu in time to defeat his greatest foe Cheng?

So, did the “The Karate Kid” of 2010 met our high expectation? Definitely, they got our approval.
