The Karate Kid (2010)

A little surprised at the many similarities between the original and new version. I'd heard they were very different. It was a well made update with sincere homages and clever twists. It helps that Jaden can act as well as bend like a pretzel. His training shows and helps with the authenticity of the film. It dragged in a few spots and bordered on juvenile at times, but overall they've turned out a great family film. A rarity these days.

Rating: B-
