A new Chapter That Honors The Past

I enjoyed it

It was a typical boy meets girl, girl has crazy ex story but it worked well.I liked the combination of king fu and karate and liked that they also threw in some boxing too.Jackie chan added some humour to it which was good.Would have liked to have seen Daniel in it more but overall I was very impressed with the movie. Wasn't sure what to expect after cobra Kai and thought they would destroy the karate kid universe with this new film but I think it stands as a good film to join the universe of Miyagi Do.Loved the very beginning when it explains the tie between kung fu and karate and loved the end just before the credits....that was a great well thought out touch.Still felt it would have been nice for some of the cast from cobra Kai to make a slight cameo but the film was very fast paced so not a huge amount of time I guess.I'll deff watch it again and will deff get the blu ray to add to the collection when it comes out.

It's Incredibly Rushed, But There's Still Redeemable Aspect, And I Still Liked It Enough

Karate Kid: Legends might be the only movie with such a rushed pacing that i still end up recommending, i completely understand why some people might not enjoy it, the pacing really is all over the place, and the story editing moves way too fast, but despite that, Ben Wang, Sadie Stanley, and the rest of the cast brought enough charm and authenticity to their characters that i found myself liking them in a surprisingly short amount of time.And yes i was desperate with the movie when they trying to get Daniel finally on the screen, but when the time comes, it's a great relief, also lifted by the spark Jackie Chan brought to the film, his portrayal felt like another version of Mr. Han, not quite the same one who trained Jaden Smith in the 2010 Karate Kid remake, but still recognizably Jackie, wise, quirky, and effortlessly entertaining.Ralph Macchio return as Daniel was brief, but enjoyable enough, there's a fun, short-lived chemistry between him and Jackie Chan, and that alone made parts of the movie worth watching, if only the film had taken a bit more time to develop its story and give these likeable characters more room to breathe, it could've been something really special.The fighting sequences and choreography are exciting, charismatic, energetic, and fun, there are some genuinely funny moments too, and a fun surprise at the end that left me smiling.Yes, it's incredibly rushed, and especially after watching the whole saga of Cobra Kai, what a weird timeline and little visit Daniel had during this whole movie, but in the end, i had fun, and maybe even more on a rewatch.
