Movie Reviews of The Karate Kid Part III

Movie Review: HAM FISTED DIRECTION SINKS THIS ONE!
Summary: 2 Stars

Like the first sequel to the Karate Kid and the "Rocky" sequels I did not expect this to be an Oscar winner, but thought it would be enjoyable. This is not as good as the first two movies and I will have to watch the Next Karate Kid to decide if it is better than that one. The biggest problem with this installment is that the direction is so heavy handed it's like a sledgehammer to the face! I never thought I would get to use the term "ham fisted" in a review, but this is the perfect opportunity! The new villain in this movie should get the "Ham of the Year " award! I was able to get through it, but it was worse than I remembered. Morita saves the picture, but even he looks like he is sleepwalking through this mess. The DVD transfer looks good.

Movie Review: bad acting
Summary: 2 Stars

What kills me about this movie is the bad acting. Part 1 and 2 was good it fit it's time the mid 80's. By the time part 3 came out RM was too old to play that role and he acted like a dorky little pussey throughout the whole movie. How could daniel and miyagi been so stupid not to know they getting played just watch it you will see how naive they really were. This movie lacks alot imagination and there no sole to it. They could have used better acting or even have johnny come back and help Daniel get back at kreese. I don't know i first saw this in the movies, in 1988 i was disappointed then, and still am today. There just so much more of a twist to the story to keep you interested like i said Daniel La russo acted like a DORK BIG TIME.

Movie Review: one sequel too far
Summary: 2 Stars

After part II this movie is kind of a mockery of the Karate Kid.
You get the feeling he doesn't know any real Karate
and you actually feel sorry for him being stuck in this awful
plot and having to get beat up inn the final match to
keep his title?
I didn't like the movie
and it pretty much gave American Karate a bad name?
The board breaking damaged hands and feet of "hard" Karate
contrast with all the Hong Kong ( Kung) Fu movies.
The Chinese fighting style is just more graceful?
I didn't like the movie
and I thought of the three movies II was the best.

Movie Review: It's OK, but a Must-Have for Karate Kid Fans
Summary: 2 Stars

I'll be honest; it is not as good as the first two. But, I had to buy it because it is part of the series, priced very cheaply ($6.99) and came with a promotional ticket ($10) for the new Karate Kid movie with Jaden Smith.
The movie is pretty "dark" and I mean literally. One would think it could have been remastered. Anyhow; the storyline is ok and at least you know what becomes of Master Silver.

Movie Review: Bonsai galore.
Summary: 2 Stars

The Karate Kid Part III is so painfully bad - you can't look away! Ralph Macchio looks so uninspired and he gained a lot of weight, poor kid. Pat Morita's deadpan expressions have always been funny but some of his magic is gone as well. The acting from those dumb karate teachers is so horrible and even Robyn Lively seems stiff. Parts 1 and 2 are excellent, check those out instead.
