Even if you are too young to have seen the 1984 original with Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio, you will probably be familiar with the basic story since it has been copied and imitated in so many movies since. A young lonely boy is bullied by classmates. An older, mysterious wise man intervenes during one altercation and saves the boy. The wise man agrees to teach the boy the art of self -defense, and in the process teaches the boy about life as they build a surrogate father-son relationship.
Jaden Smith (his star parents are actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith) plays 11 year old Dre, a young bratty kid whose father has died. He and his mom live alone in Detroit. Unable to find a decent job where they live, his mother (played by Taraji P. Henson) moves the family to Beijing, China where she can find work

In China Dre immediately meets Meiying (Wenwen Han), a girl whom he falls for. His showy flirtation catches the attention of Cheng (Zhenwei Wang), a boy who considers himself Meiying's "man". This is where Dre's problems begin. Cheng is the head badass of a local gang of boys. Cheng and his friends beat up Dre on several occasions, just because they can. Things get worse when Dre discovers that Cheng also attends the same school. Soon Dre finds himself hiding around corners and ducking into rooms to stay out of Cheng's way.
One day during another beatdown, local handyman Mr. Han (played by Jackie Chan) witnesses the altercation and intervenes on behalf of Dre, revealing his own mastery of Kung Fu. Mr Han's handling of the bullies is both amusing and somewhat troublesome, as this older man basically beats up a bunch of 11 year olds. Dre is impressed and begs Mr Han to teach him how to fight. Mr Han realizes that Dre wants to learn to fight just so he can beat up people, and is at first reluctant to teach him anything. After explaining to Dre that "one should learn to fight" so that "one does not need to fight", he agrees to mentor him. The agreement is that he will prepare Dre to compete in a sanctioned Kung Fu tournament. In exchange Dre must do everything Mr Han asks of him without question.
After this lengthy setup (it lasts for over an hour) most of the rest of the movie focuses on Mr Han's unorthodox training methods and Dre's growing frustration at not being able to recognize where everything is leading. Those who have seen the original film will recognize some of the training scenes (the never-ending car waxing scene becomes the "jacket on, jacket off" scene). Each training sequence is meant to teach Dre something different about life.
The film ends with the rousing Kung Fu Tournament, and this is fantastic. Here Dre gets to match his newly learned skills against those of the bullies that have been tormenting him. You will be standing and cheering as the film works its way to its thrilling conclusion. Yes, this film contains important messages about respect, violence and love. But it is also a highly entertaining family film.
I must say something about Jackie Chan as Mr Han. In the original movie Pat Morita earned an Oscar nomination for his legendary portrayal. Jackie Chan my not get a nomination this time, but his acting was astounding. As he gets into his fifties, Jackie can't really do the things he used to do to dazzle audiences in movies such as "The Legend of Drunken Master" or "Police Story". But if this role is any indication, he will be able to move into dramatic supporting parts for the remainder of his career. The scene where Mr Han explains to Dre his life history is hands-down one of the best acting moments of Chan's career.
