Movie Reviews of The Next Karate Kid
Movie Review: Movie Reveiw only
Summary: 4 Stars
I just caught this on Encore & thought it was very good except the ending. It felt a little forced. It was interesting that the karate kid herself wasn't so much the focus of the bullies (although she was) so much as her boyfriend. In real life the conflict should've been avoidable by going to the police. Internal affairs would have to take such claims seriously. I guess Hollywood needed a final confrontation though so that's forgiveable. I loved the journey until that mess at the end.
This is a def. kid friendly movie with some nice life lessons for the younger audience & maybe even some blockhead adults assuming anything can get thru to them. The teaching of respect for nature is a nice sub-theme with the Falcon etc. although I'd squash a cochroach on my dinner table any day.
Movie Review: An Entertaining, Family Film
Summary: 4 Stars
As a child, I always watched this movie with my father every time it was on TV. It is an interesting story in which an unhappy, somewhat rebellious teenager learns to deal with the pain of losing her parents. Through her friendship with Mr. Miyagi, she comes to respect herself by learning more about Karate and life in general. The only disappointment was that the "military coach?" at the high school was completely unbelievable. No American school would allow an employee to behave that way! Also, the "Zen bowling" scene was too silly for this type of movie! For these reasons, I gave the movie four stars instead of five. Overall, I thought it was an entertaining, family-friendly movie.Movie Review: The Next Karate Kid
Summary: 4 Stars
During a commemoration for japanese soldiers fighting in the US Army during World War II Mr. Miyagi meets the widow of his commanding officer. He gets to know her granddaugther Julie, an angry teenager. She is full of pain about the death of her parents during an accident and has lots of problems with her grandmother and her fellow pupils. So Mr. Miyagi decides to teach her Karate to bring her back on the right way. This movie has an odd charm about it. Swank and Morita are a joy to watch, and I will watch it again.
Movie Review: BETTER THAN THE OTHER SEQUELS! ENJOYABLE!
Summary: 4 Stars
This film just edged out Karate Kid part 2 as a better movie. Pat Morita and Hilary Swank(in an early role)do their best in this fairly good and enjoyable sequel. I would give it 3 1/2 stars. The DVD transfer looks very good. I found the box set for the price of the first film,so it was worth buying the set.Movie Review: well
