However, caution is suggested due to some propagandistic references to Eastern spiritual mysticism. The movie has some positive moral messages, namely that respect should be shown to everyone and that peace is desired over violence. It is light on foul language and features moderate violence in keeping with kung fu, but includes one display of drunkenness. THE KARATE KID (2010) is very entertaining, if a bit long and predictable at times. Eventually, Dre learns to pick himself up again after life knocks him down, both literally and figuratively. Despite her parents’ aversion to their friendship, Dre’s character and respectfulness prove that kindness and love can break cultural barriers. Dre forms a sweet bond with a young girl. Han, a wise, quiet maintenance man, Dre not only learns kung fu, but also a great deal about respect for others, self-control and perseverance. He decides to learn kung fu to defend himself against the ruffians. Dre is bullied as he seeks to fit into his new surroundings.

In the story, a young American boy, Dre, and his mother move to China. The new KARATE KID (2010) remake is a mixed blessing.
