Could’ve been longer but I really enjoyed it! Any movie with some good martial arts in it is cool in my book.
I enjoyed it. To me it felt original. Having the 2 senseis was a fun ride. Definitely would watch again.
Amazing for martial arts and action fans
A moving story that blends kung-fu and karate. But it's fast paced & primarily fueled by nostalgia! Johnny Lawrence is the best part!
Everything is kung fu… even this pinky can be kung fu… oh wait wrong movie
I wanted to like this more than I did. It feels like 20 min. of important plot and character development was cut to make this 90 min.
The movie lacks focus and feels like two movies packed into one. Wyatt Oleff as Allen is the only one not phoning it in. He saves the movie.
There were lots of dumb moments (e.g., KungFu kid teaching an adult boxer). But it was saved by a few good moments (e.g., the credits scene)
It's Incredibly Rushed, But There's Still Redeemable Aspect, And I Still Liked It Enough 7/10
Unfortunately fails to honour the legacy!Flat and predictable, with no sparkle! Talented cast and some well executed action sequences.

New Jersey teen Daniel LaRusso moves to Los Angeles with his mother, and soon strikes up a relationship with Ali. He quickly finds himself the target of bullying by a group of thugs, led by Ali's ex-boyfriend Johnny, who study karate at the Cobra Kai dojo under ruthless sensei John Kreese. Fortunately, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi, an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him in a more compassionate form of karate for self-defense and, later, preparing him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai.
Summoned by his dying father, Miyagi returns to his homeland of Okinawa, with Daniel, after a 40-year exile. There he must confront Yukie, the love of his youth, and Sato, his former best friend turned vengeful rival. Sato is bent on a fight to the death, even if it means the destruction of their village. Daniel finds his own love in Yukia's niece, Kumiko, and his own enemy in Sato's nephew, the vicious Chozen. Now, far away from the tournaments, cheering crowds and safety of home, Daniel will face his greatest challenge ever when the cost of honor is life itself.
Despondent over the closing of his karate school, Cobra Kai teacher John Kreese joins a ruthless businessman and martial artist to get revenge on Daniel and Mr. Miyagi.
Mr. Miyagi decides to take Julie, a troubled teenager, under his wing after he learns that she blames herself for her parents' demise and struggles to adjust with her grandmother and fellow pupils.

With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is a kung fu master. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
After a family tragedy, kung fu prodigy Li Fong is uprooted from his home in Beijing and forced to move to New York City with his mother.
