As you probably know by now, Jaden Smith plays Dre, a skateboarding video game buff who is forced to move to China after his single mother (Taraji P. Henson) is forced to transfer to the China for work. Of course, unable to speak Chinese, Dre finds it hard to settle in, and gets beat up by the local bully. Jackie Chan plays Mr. Han (the Mr. Miyagi character), a maintenance man who spots Dre’s black-eye and offers to teach him both martial arts and Chinese, so he can defend against the students of Li Quan Ha’s Fighting dragon school of Kung-Fu.
Every time a new Karate Kid movie comes out, it ends up one star rating shy of where the last one landed. The last attempt is sitting just shy of four stars. I’m sure this one can overcome all those problems the first four somehow missed. Especially with the plot this one is rocking.
