positive · AI labelView post →So wait, there’s an upcoming movie that’s a sequel to the Cobra Kai tv show AND the Jackie Chan Karate Kid reboot starring Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio? When did this franchise basically become the MCU, and also, why it is so good?

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched KARATE KID (1984) with the kiddo last night to celebrate their successful belt testing, and was struck by how well-crafted the film is. I have little memory of it, so I was not expecting to come away with "That was an astonishingly well-lit movie."

neutral · AI labelView post →In terms of pacing and editing, Daniel crane-kicking Johnny at the end of KARATE KID is some of the most exciting and satisfying action filmmaking to come out of America in the 80s. Just a great meat and potatoes movie moment.
positive · AI labelView post →I found out Walton Goggins was in the Hillary Swank Karate Kid movie and I feel like he has the opposite version of the thing going on with Haley Joel Osment where the older he gets the smaller his face looks

neutral · AI labelView post →Just saw KARATE KID LEGENDS and woof, the film is not great. There are a handful of solid fight scenes but the editing and pacing feel way off. Ralph Macchio is in it for approximately 7 minutes (all of which is in the trailer). Final act of the film makes no sense at all. So bummed at this.

neutral · AI labelView post →i'm confused, Ralph Macchio Karate Kid did karate but Jackie Chan Karate Kid did kung fu, how are we putting them in the same movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm glad the film happened, but I can imagine how angry and fuming the execs at Sony are over turning this down and watching it become a hit without them. I bet they feel so much regret focusing on that Karate Kid that made no dent. Still, I am happy we got KPop and it still became the hit.

negative · AI labelView post →Ben and I have been watching the entire Karate Kid franchise together to prepare for this movie because the idea of being really hyped for a Karate Kid sequel was very funny to me, and I think we tricked ourselves into sincerely loving it along the way
positive · AI labelView post →“Cobra Kai”—the quintessential nostalgic revival—has been on the air long enough to evoke nostalgia for itself. The “Karate Kid” sequel’s penultimate eps are now on Netflix, and they pack a delightful punch en route to a chaotic climax. Love this show. joysauce.com/the-penultim...

unlabelledView post →“Karate Kid: Legends” is an act of franchise hubris. A film with all the makings of a decent spin-off, completely derailed by shoving empty nostalgia on screen. Especially egregious after a show as delightful as “Cobra Kai.” joysauce.com/karate-kid-l...
