Karate Kid: Legends Review: Great Watch


If
you’ve
watched
and
liked
the

Cobra
Kai

series,
you
will
love
this
movie
and
the
way
it
ends,
applauds
Varun
Khanvilkar.

First
things
first,

Karate
Kid:
Legends

is
a
great
watch.

I
have
been
a
fan
of
the

Karate
Kid

franchise
and
was
introduced
to
it
by
the
Jackie
Chan
version.
Later,
I
watched
the
Netflix
show

Cobra
Kai

and
got
hooked.

The
movie
does
a
top
notch
job
at
connecting
the
legacies
of
the
two
different
iterations
of
the

Karate
Kid

and
showing
how
the
various
martial
arts
and
fighting
styles
are
connected
to
each
other.
It’s
like
Han
Shifu
(Jackie
Chan)
says
in
the
movie,
‘They’re
two
branches
of
the
same
tree.’

The
movie
follows
a
similar
pattern
as
the
earlier
films.

A
boy
moves
to
a
new
city
with
his
mother,
only
this
time
Li
Fong
(Ben
Wang)
already
has
a
sensei
back
in
his
hometown
of
Beijing,
who
has
taught
him
kung
fu,
not
karate.

So
watching
him
adapt
to
karate
throughout
the
movie
with
the
help
of
not
only
his
own
sensei
but
also
the
iconic
Daniel
Larusso
(Ralph
Macchio)
and
then
going
on
to
win
the
five
boroughs
is
a
really
enjoyable
and
wholesome
experience.

Every
actor
has
done
a
phenomenal
job
at
portraying
their
characters,
especially
Joshua
Jackson
(Victor).

His
quips
hit
the
spot
and
his
entire
boxing
segment
is
quite
entertaining.

The
movie
has
some
fantastically
co-ordinated
fight
scenes,
like
the
one
in
the
back
alley.


Karate
Kid:
Legends

is
a
feel-good
movie
that
is
definitely
worth
a
watch.
And
if
you’ve
watched
and
liked
the

Cobra
Kai

series,
you
will
love
this
movie
and
the
way
it
ends.


Varun
Khanvilkar
is
15
years
old,
and
is
a
huge
fan
of
the

Karate
Kid

movies!
