Here are some of the most interesting reviews on movie "The Karate Kid".
Los Angeles Times betry sharkey review this movie as. It has kick from Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, but its running time may test its target audience's patience.

"The Karate Kid" is a kung fu kick of a film that hits more than it misses, with its fresh prince of Beijing in Jaden Smith, its scene-stealing grand master flash, Jackie Chan, and a shiny-happy China travelogue thrown in for good measure, or tax incentives, one of the two.
Similarly Tom Keogh of The Seattle Times says about movie. The surprisingly effective and occasionally moving remake of the 1984 "The Karate Kid" stars Jackie Chan as the reluctant instructor of kung fu to a hapless youngster (Jaden Smith).

Fear not, longtime fans of Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) and Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) beloved lead characters of John G. Avildsen's 1984 martial-arts hit "The Karate Kid." Nothing about the 2010 remake of the film, starring relative newcomer Jaden Smith and cinema legend Jackie Chan, threatens fond memories of the original.

AS THE Hollywood remake machine marches unstoppably forward, there were always going to be casualties. I never thought I'd see the day when 1984's beloved classic The Karate Kid got the treatment though and it's with a heavy heart that I write this review.
With the 2010 version of The Karate Kid all the subtlety and charm of the original has been leached out, to leave an admittedly slick but soulless and cynical remake.

You don't need a hot tub time machine to tell you that we are in the midst of an '80s pop-culture revival. It's hardly surprising, since the kids who grew up watching the movies and television of that decade "The A-Team" and "The Karate Kid," to restrict ourselves to films opening this week are now old enough to make and approve projects of their own. A lot of franchises that started out back in those kind-of-innocent, not-so-simple times have kept on going ever since. "The Terminator," for instance, and Bruce Willis.
