This old sequel is embarrassingly mixed two films in one in one

One of the most confusing phenomena in Jelly. The original shift followed a child in New Jersey named Daniel La Rusa (Ralph McCio) to a new house in Dumpy OL ‘Reseeda, California, where he immediately targeted a team of caravans. They attend Dogo named Cobra Kai, who is treated like a legendary brutal school for potential killers, when it was in fact, it was an average building on Lankeshim Blvd. In northern Hollywood. To defend himself, Daniel is located with a local Karate name his name Nariushi Miaji (Pat Maurita)Which teaches him a more thinking and contemplative version of karate. The movie ends with Daniel, the best bullying, Johnny Lawrence (William Zaba).

The film was manufactured for only $ 8 million, but achieved great success, as it achieved more than $ 130 million at the box office. Avildsen appears to repeat the “Weak Victory Verses” formula from “Rocky”, eight years ago, with a teenager in the starring role. The “The Karate Kid” was unexpectedly born with two sequences with Macchio and Morita, as well as an animated series in 1988. There was spinning in 1994, “The Karate Kid”, starring Maurita and Hillary Swank. In 2010, “The Karate Kid” was reshaped with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, although this movie was more than Kung-Fu. The original film was revived as unexpectedly popular YouTube series called “Cobra Kai” In 2018. Zabka and Macchio returned, and the show was finally transferred to Netflix.

Now we have the sixth “Karate Kid” movie, “Karate Kid: Legends”, by John Instaltal, and his thief, it contains a lot on his plate. Despite only 94 minutes, “Karate Kid: Legends” managed to cram two separate films to one, both of which starring the new karate booklet, Lee Fung (Ben Wang). “Legends” is similar to restarting and completing it, playing accidentally. The first of these two films is very good. The second … we will reach that.

There are not many myths for “The Karate Kid”, but “myths” quickly explains at the forefront of how Japanese karate master like Mr. MIYAGI should affect Mr. Han (Chan), a Chinese coach from the Chinese Congo Fu. It seems that one of the ancestors of MIYAGI made a drunk sailing trip to China, where he and local martial arts coaches mixed their methods, creating an incredible form of karate vu. I had to learn Miji Kong Fu from his uncle, Mr. Han, to a large extent of his mother’s sadness, which Ming Nn play. In the end, we will learn through the memories of the past that the older brother of Lee was also a competitor to the Kung Fu, but he was stabbed to death by a competitor after the match. This will lead me and his mother to move to New York under an explanation that he is not fighting again.

Here we start movie No. 1 where I adapt to New York. He meets a teenage friendly writer named Mia (Sadi Stanley), and agrees to show him throughout the city for mandarin lessons. Ben Wang is a great progress, who is able to deliver his pain and self -character without losing the feeling of a general cinematic star in the championship. He was previously in “Chinese Americans”, and will soon appear in “The Long Walk”. If there is justice in Hollywood, Wang will become huge.

He meets me from Abu Mia, which is a handsome, warm box, called Victor (The great great duck Joshua Jackson). However, he is even a great Victor with some local loan sharks, and he will not be able to get himself out of debt only if he can win the upcoming boxing match. I excel me from some debt collectors, and Victor asks to become a battle coach. The following is a smart copy of the scenario from a dynamic traditional sports movie, where the oldest middle -aged man is the student, and the adolescent is the expert. Of course, LI and MIA will grow closer as the instructions continue.

The relationship between Li and Victor is also interesting, as Victor must treat me as a professor and son Ersatz. He does not fight me technically if he knows another person how to win (the Kung Fu style) so he does not really break the rules of his mother.

The big Battle of Victor takes place in the middle of the way through the movie. I will not reveal the outcome of the battle, but I will say that movie No. 1 reaches a sudden end, and movie No. 2 suddenly begins. The editing of the movie changes the film immediately, and benefits me a new role. Mr. Han comes to New York, and training can start again. It seems that there is the upcoming MMA championship called 5 town, and you find that, he must compete. My mom will learn to be fine with this, and Victor and Mia finish the movie. Mr. Han later invites in Daniel Laoka (still studying karate in Dogo, Mr. Miaji in the valley), and the oldest single unites for me. Oh yes, a competitor is a evil bullying called Connor (Aramis Knight), who coincided with the son of the piracy of the loan of Victor and the former friend of Mia.

It is wonderfully fun to see the exhausting poor LI receive conflicting instructions from Daniel and HAN, and “Karate Kid: Legends” using smart preparation in New York; There is a training moment, for example, where LI must take a dramatic movement under the heart of the New York Metro. But where did this second movie come from? Suddenly, there are illustrations of animation and the aesthetic of an eccentric music video. It seems as if the script book had two ideas for a story, but they could come out either in an advantage, so I decided to make two films of 47 minutes instead.

Both films included in “Karate Kid: Legends” are standardly satisfactory. Wong greatly carries the movie (movies), even when he stands in front of a legend like Jackie Chan and a veteran like Ralph Macchio. Jackson is impressive as a close burning, as he reads like a kindergarten teacher. Sadly Stanley and Ming Na Wayne, unfortunately, are not allowed to express a lot of character, and they work with more employees in the plot more than the realized characters. Regardless, the “final battles” plays completely well, and one may feel inspiration and joy from either of them.

But why are there two? “Karate Kid: Myths” It is an original movie and an old completion. It follows a new story, linking the previous classes in a 40 -year concession, re -unification of many old characters, and displays their peaks separately, and each has a set of personal risks. It works at all is a type of miracle, especially since we have finished 94 minutes.

“Karate Kid: Legends” makes it feel a mercy of a kind of overcoming. It is a swollen and early summer entertainment more interested in description and a well -contradictory sporting stories than it is “tremendous”. One does not need to be a deep “Karate Kid” fans to enjoy it, because Entwistle and screenwriter, Rob Lieber, are keen to give you the functional background that you need. There is only one brief veil for the hard -line “Karate Kid” fans, and it is clearly broadcast, not studied on the precedent of the series. Although the structure is completely strange, this may be a better approach to the old sequences of the most traditional form that insists on importing. It’s okay, Hollywood, to be light and fun films.
