Sorry; this movie could have been a lot better. I kept comparing it to the original "Karate Kid" movie, and this one is definitely wanting. Jaden Smith is not up to task; either that or he is simply trying to hard. The real star of this movie is Jackie Chan; I felt that he did quite well. But the movie is at least thirty minutes too long; there are far too many subplots that just get in the way. There is no flow to the movie. Even the nice shots of the Chinese countryside do not add to the plot. And I guess I have to fault the direction as well; there seemed to be no flow to the movie, just a series of isolated vignettes.
