Parent reviews for The Karate Kid (2010)

This movie is obviously about karate or as said in the movie, " Kung Fu " a boy gets bullied and beaten up by kids who are in a Kung fu school. A man with a sad past teaches the boy how to do Kung fu he learns not to get back at the bully but to feel safe.

Watch it it’s good and boring at parts but what ever.

I previewed this before showing to my 9 year old and glad I did. The fighting is intense at times and the actions of the boys is downright cruel in many cases. They didn't have to dial up the bullying so much to deliver what is a great message. Many boys will find themselves enjoying the fights without realizing they are supposed to be seeing how *not* to act. All that said, Jaden Smith was good and it was interesting having it set in China and displaying some of its culture.

This was a funny movie! It was also really action-packed! SO MUCH ADVENTURE! IT WAS AWESOME!

The reason why it should be called "Kung Fu Kid" is because the movie takes place in China, and Karate is Japanese! That is the only thing that doesn't make sense about this movie. Besides that, it is an ok movie with some intense martial arts violence. I haven't seen the original Karate Kid movies.

Most cartoons, tv shows, and video games are more violent than this movie... power rangers for instance. My two children ages 11 and 7 love this movie. This movie does a good job of teaching kids how to deal with bullies and handle pressure that comes along with moving to an unfamiliar place. This movie is no more violent than any other movie on this list, and less violent than most karate movies! I really do not understand why it has gotten a bad reputation. The overall demeanor of the young man in this movie was so positive and resilient it sent a message that perseverance is key to success.

spirt of winning is now with jayden smith.
