It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Awful acting, rip-off story of Karate Kid, poor direction. Your eyes and ears will burn from the crappiness of this "film" Give it a HUGE skip.

Wow, all you really need to sell this movie is to say Don the Dragon Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock star in it, but the move is so much more than a film about great martial artists fighting. There are some exciting fight scenes in it and they play into the message of Anti-Bullying which is the main theme of the movie. This is a fast paced story about a troubled teen who finally grows up with the help of the persistence of family, a girl, traditional values of what martial arts is really about, and it is just a super cool fun family martial arts anti-bullying movie with a message for everyone, young and old alike that everyone who has the privilege of watching will enjoy.

THE MARTIAL ARTS KID is a film Produced, and acted by real martial artists. In fact there are more Champions, Grandmasters and Masters in this film than any ever made. Because of this and the fact it is an anti bully themed family film the fighting was purposely made to not appear fancy with wire works and flashy techniques so that fighting would not appear to be pretty or fun. The fighting is more realistic, and the training is the same. Two All Time GREAT martial artists Don The Dragon Wilson and Lady Dragon Cynthia Rothrock are instructors here. Though there is humor and action it is the message that matters here. If you love martial arts then this is the one for you.

This film is very entertaining. It is a story that many people will relate to, not just martial arts fans. Although people who are into martial arts will probably relate best to the moves in the film, there are many different things that everyone will relate to and enjoy.There is a range of genres in Martial Arts Kid. Of course, since the subject is about martial arts, there are some great action-packed scenes. However that isn't the entire story. There is a bit of romance, which plays out smoothly and there is a sense of comedy in a few scenes - not too much to make the film a joke, but not so little that it is too serious.The story starts when a troublemaker named Robbie moves to a new town to live with his uncle and aunt because his grandmother refuses to deal with him getting in trouble all the time. In this new town he starts getting bullied. At the same time, he decides to start learning martial arts in his uncle's dojo. He learns to fight - not to beat the bully up (and become a bully himself), but to defend and stand up to the bully.At the beginning, the acting seem a bit fake. The emotions feel forced and, a few times, the dialogue also feels forced. However, later in the film it becomes very natural and smooths out. The film is labeled as a bully film, which I think is a wrong label. It is a nice action- packed film with lots of good messages and morals. But, I don't think it is a bullying film. The story addresses bullying but doesn't really concentrate on it enough to make it a bullying film. Some of the shots are just spot on and perfect. My favorite scene is when he first learns that his uncle and aunt are martial arts black belts. They are at the beach getting something from the car when a man with a knife comes up to them. Robbie tries to be brave and stand up to him but, when his aunt sees the knife, she does some amazing martial arts moves and takes him down. Robbie just stands there in awe. This film has a little bit of mature content, mostly when they are fighting. So I recommend it for ages 11 to 18. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because, in the beginning, the acting feels a little fake. However the story is entertaining the whole time and the direction is perfect too.Reviewed by Gerry O., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic, age 13
