The Karate Kid Blu-ray brings home the 2010 martial arts drama starring Jaden Smith as Dre Parker, a 12-year-old who moves from Detroit to Beijing, and Jackie Chan as Mr. Han, the maintenance man who turns out to be a kung fu master. Harald Zwart directed, and Taraji P. Henson plays Dre's mother, Sherry.
This listing is the Blu-ray combo pack from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The Blu-ray disc needs a Blu-ray player or a game console that plays Blu-ray discs.
The Karate Kid premiered on June 7, 2010, in Westwood, California, and opened across the US on June 11, 2010. Dre Parker moves to Beijing with his widowed mother after she is transferred to a job at a car plant.
Dre soon falls for Meiying (Wenwen Han), a young violinist, but Cheng (Zhenwei Wang), a kung fu prodigy, bullies him and keeps them apart. After a school trip to the Forbidden City, Dre's attempt at revenge ends in a beating, until Mr. Han steps in and reveals his skill.
Mr. Han agrees to train Dre, and their friendship becomes the heart of the film. Yu Rongguang plays Master Li, head of the Fighting Dragons kung fu studio.
Principal photography took place in Beijing from July to October 2009. The Chinese government granted the production access to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China and the Wudang Mountains, so many of the film's most striking scenes were shot at real landmarks.
The film was a major hit, grossing about 359 million dollars worldwide and opening with 56 million dollars in North America. It is the highest-grossing film in the Karate Kid series. On Blu-ray, those Chinese locations look their best in high definition.

Good family movie that centers on a coming of age story about a kid, Daniel, who meets a mentor and learns martial arts to grow more as a person.

Better than the original
First off I’m 36 so the original is very dear to me…but this version is better!
Originally saw this opening day with my son’s dojo in attendance. Great for the students.
Jackie Chan puts on one of his best performances; especially drama wise…my fav so far I think, and the apple is right next to both trees (I personally think Mrs. Smith is the better thespian, but the kid is great…and he is his own machine).
Saw in a dts theater, and since this is a combo pack (real quick on that; blu-ray is the clear winner in how movies will be watched for this new decade. If you don’t own a blu-ray player or PS3, ALWAYS BUY THESE PACKS..they are the same price and you get the digital copy; then you have the blu-ray when you get a player…and you will), I watched a few minutes of the DVD just to cover all bases
It makes you wonder if you’ll ever be able to watch a DVD again. The blu-ray also has a cooler mix than the theater or the DVD; I don’t think I even need to begin to compare quality, both picture and sound (1080p vs. 480p, and dts-HD 5.1 vs. grumply old Dolby 5.1)
If you liked the original, or are already considering buying this movie, BUY THIS NOT THE DVD (more bang for the same buck).
I think this is like 10 bucks as of this writing, for DVD, digital copy, and of course one great Blu-Ray!

excellent story, actors, background scenes
Ok, the plot is basically the same as that in the previous karate kid movies. There are a few differences. An African-American boy moves to China when his mom gets a job there (US outsourcing, huh?). He likes a girl who likes him back. Chinese bully picks on him. Janitor agrees to teach him KUNG FU. They have match in the end and … The boy becomes a role model for so many American youth, his shear determination, exerting effort and dedication day after day, growth and maturity in spirit … He ends up at one point teaching his teacher. That was neat to see. If anybody reads many of my reviews, you’ll find that I admire Buddhist practices AND I love architecture. Well, from the Great Wall to Temples to Downtown Beijing, spanning thousands of years, it provides a backdrop to the story, that always mankind is faced with troubles and must learn to first look within before one can hope to successfully take on the fight outside ourselves. Whether I’m right or not, the story is exciting! While I really enjoyed the previous KK movies, this one is my favorite. My kids gave it only 4 stars, but, I think it was well worth 5 stars. Folks who like it will want to watch it again and again. Those who don’t will wonder why they bought it. So, for all movies you haven’t gone to the theater to watch, borrow this from the public library. I suspect that you will very much enjoy it. If so, then I’d buy it. I think that it is a movie that appeals to martial artists, intercultural studies, eastern philosophy, architecture. It ought to belong in public libraries, some school libraries. I give everything a grade, and this movie I give an “A-“. I highly recommend it.
