The Karate Kid Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The latest "The Karate Kid" will probably work best for young audiences unaware of its predecessor - or of much of anything else for that matter.
San Francisco Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
If the movie's overlong (and it is, by about 20 minutes), it's long for a reason: It gives Dre time to grow.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Is this "Karate Kid" as good as the original? No, although it is better than the sequels. But why bother with nostalgia? It's probably good enough.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
This new Karate Kid is, in the end, a winning update of a classic piece of Eighties' filmmaking, and that in itself is something of a coup.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
The remake of The Karate Kid impresses with its craft and its patience.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Sometimes it's best just to leave a classic film alone.
Slate
Dana Stevens
It's as sweet-natured a movie as you could expect about a 12-year-old learning to beat the crap out of his schoolmates.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
It's not as good as the 1984 version. I say that not just out of nostalgia, but because I think that that was a more satisfying drama.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
A constant fight of one kick forward, one kick backward when it comes to overall quality but it ends on the front foot and so barely works by virtue of leaving the audience with a smile on their face.
Dallas Morning News
Nancy Churnin
Chan and Smith could not be more likable, along with their cast of young Chinese actors, particularly Wenwen Han.
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
It was resonant in the gung-ho '80s, and it's a notion every generation deserves to discover anew. Based on the young Smith's considerable wattage, this Kid may just surpass the original.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The Karate Kid is precisely the sort of rousing, stand-up-and-cheer, feel-good entertainment movie audiences have been starved for this summer.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
The new Karate Kid brings fresh life and perspective to the classic tale of perseverance and cross-generational friendship, thanks to Harald Zwart's sensitive direction and two exceptionally appealing stars.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A popcorn picture that thinks it's The Last Emperor, The Karate Kid is about as likely to grab your youngster's attention as any other propaganda film made by the Chinese government.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Smith can handle what the film throws at him, and he and Chan nail the life-lesson parts. Yet like the way Han kills a fly with a swatter instead of catching it with chopsticks, the film replaces finesse with hit-you-over-the-head might.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
In a marketplace mad for 3D, it's good to see a dramatic adventure built for young audiences (and the rest of us) that achieves its depth the old-fashioned way, with characters struggling and maturing.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
While we all know Smith will face off against his attackers at the big match, his story never feels calculated or focus-grouped for maximum audience appeal. And when he does prove his worth, we cheer like it's the first time.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
it is a pleasure to see the match of the dedicated, courageous young man and the wise teacher work as well for the performers as it does for the characters.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
May not be competing at the same level as the original, but it respects the tradition, and if it doesn't really have anything new to say, it still says it in a reasonably engaging way.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Jaden is endearing in his own way, and the abstract notion of Jackie Chan in Pat Norita's role of the wise mentor almost obscures the reality of Mr. Chan's zonked performance, which simulates warm feelings toward the kid without risk of infectiousness.
