Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Ian (Flash Review)Rewatched after 20+ years. This is a no nonsense root for the underdog movie. Mr. Miyagi is subtly smooth as he helps a bullied kid, Daniel, learn self-defense. Daniel catches the eye of a humble rich girl and bad blood is formed from the other envious rich boys. Mr. Miyagi begins to teach Daniel karate in highly unorthodox methods. So much so Daniel almost quits until Mr. Miyagi reveals how much he has actually learned. Of course the rich kids are really good at karate so it's a no-brainer they'll be a showdown at the karate tournament so the audience can cheer for the underdog and the obstacles he must overcome. Will he win and teach the bad boys about morals at the same time? The several memorable scenes still hold up today. In between are standard 80s movie lackluster cinematography. Fun to relive Daniel's journey.

fcabanski What made the original terrific was good vs evil. In the Hollyweird of 2018, there is no good or bad. There is only moral relativity. Without the reality of good vs evil, this show falls flat.What if Karate Kid were lame? What if we can't pick good guys or bad guys because we've been brainwashed to think up is down and right is wrong? This show answers those questions.

jacobjohntaylor1 I have seen some good movies. This is not one of them. There is so mush hype about this movie. Really people it is not a 7.2. Is a 3. Karate Kid 2 is a better. I would not ever call that a great movie. This did have a very good story line. That acting was pretty good. But if I were you I would not waste time on this movie. I would not waste money on it ether. Skip this movie. It is a very bad movie. People who like do not know a bad movie when they see it. This movie slow and boring. You want see a good movie see Teenage mutant ninja turtles. I do not know what all the hype is about this movie. It was so slow. It all just hype I have never seen any thing with this mush hype and be so bad.

zkonedog There are some films that define the generation (or decade) in which they are made. "The Karate Kid" does this for the 1980s.For a basic plot summary, this film focuses on the story of young Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Maccio), who moves to California and finds his new school much less accommodating than New Jersey. After falling for a local girl (Elisabeth Shue), he is targeted by the Cobra Kai, the local karate school that preaches a violent style of fighting. In order to defend himself, Daniel begins learning karate for his own source, that being the enigmatic Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita).There are very few movies I can watch multiple times and still enjoy them, but this is one of them. Besides being a bit cheesy at times (although what 80s movie isn't?!), it does pretty much everything right:The plot is both creative and inspirational, and will have you almost physically "into it" by the time the credits roll. The acting (especially from Morita) is also very entertaining, providing both the driving inspirational force as well as subtle touches of comedy thrown in. Even the music positively adds to the experience, as Bill Conti's (the same guy who scored "Rocky") tunes will draw out each emotion to its full potential for every scene.Overall, this is a landmark film that can be enjoyed at any age. Youngsters will like the action, while "big kids" will appreciate the inspirational and simple (yet effective) direction from Jon G. Avlidsen (also of "Rocky" fame).
