This movie should've been called The Kung-Fu Kid. This remake is set in Beijing and you know that's not karate. In my opinion, Jaden Smith is too young for the role. The love angle doesn't feel right. Dre and Meiying are too young to be kissing in public. Instead of wax-on, wax-off we have jacket-on jacket-off.Nice kung-fu moves, actually. In the final competition, the newbie Dre actually manages to beat all his opponents and face off with his bully. His leg got broken in a prior match, and he's just standing on one leg. For his final trick, he temporarily hypnotizes his opponent, then does this somersault, doing a back-flip and kicking the bully in the face to win the tournament. Hoo-ha!
