The fight scenes are great, very well done and intense as well. He finally was able to make a good film after a few years doing bad ones. A performance that really stood out for me was that of Jackie Chan, I really am not a fan of his work, and he was wonderful here.

I mean really, the kid's acting is horrible. I personally feel that another actor could have played his part. The choice of the lead actor being Jaden Smith was questionable and I found him more annoying than anything. The movie was enjoyable, but there were many things that I didn't like. Respectable remake of the classic film of the same name, The Karate Kid is an entertaining, fun film for the entire family.
