What is the film about?

Like the original films, it plays on a similar trope where a mother and her son have moved to the U.S., and her son finds himself among bullies, which leads to a tournament—now he needs to prove himself. The only difference here is that this new Karate Kid in town has two mentors.

If you go by the official synopsis on its website, it goes like this:

"After kung fu prodigy Li Fong relocates to New York City, he attracts unwanted attention from a local karate champion and embarks on a journey to enter the ultimate karate competition with the help of Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso."

As of this writing, the film holds a 54% critics’ approval on Rotten Tomatoes based on 96 reviews. It’s still better than the worst films in the franchise, which include The Karate Kid Part II (1986), The Karate Kid Part III (1989), and The Next Karate Kid (1994).
