B S I watched all of the Karate kid movies to rewatch Cobra Kai and try to understand everything. I actually liked this film and the characters, but the ending was a little dry. Definitely understand the cutscenes more in Cobra Kai. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Erik B The second chapter of the LaRusso trilogy takes Daniel to Miyagi's home in Okinawa where an old acquaintance awaits the teacher's return. Truly a tearjerker, but the lack of action makes this one a little less exciting than the original. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Adrian G No es tan buena como la primera, pero es bastante entretenida , aunque el ritmo es algo lento. Tiene varios problemas como que el ritmo es lento y que ignoran a el interés romántico del protagonista por completo y le dan otro como si nada. También quiero destacar que la trama es muy diferente a lo que esperarias de una secuela de la primera película, más bien parece trama de una película de acción. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Daniel P the music and sets are great and the acting is good but the story was not as good as the first one Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review TheBaconWarrior "The Karate Kid Part 2" is a decent enough follow up to one of the greatest films of all time, but never reaches the heights of its predecessor, due to repetitive themes and a lack of focus. The characters are once again incredible, both Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita did a great job of returning as one of the best duos in film, and Chozen as well as Sato make for villains that are far more powerful and dangerous than Cobra Kai was. While not as good as the first, the soundtrack also slaps, and the original score is a true gift to your ears at certain moments. However, the movie fails to reach the heights of "The Karate Kid" due to the lack of a central focus, as well as an end goal. There is no All-Valley tournament this time, which means that the ultimate showdown in the finale, while epic, just feels too rushed and anticlimactic. Constantly switching focus between Mr Miyagi and Daniel is also an issue in the movie, but is allowable due to the fact that both of these characters are worthy of solo projects and can easily carry their plot line. Unfortunately, the love interest(s) this time around are nowhere near as interesting and compelling, after coming off of Ali. Daniel and Kumiko have some good moments, but the movie often drags while they are on screen together, specifically the kiss at the hut. Miyagi and Yukie had a strong foundation, but very little happens between them in the 2 hour runtime. Truly a shame as they would have been far more interesting than Daniel/Kumiko if they just had more screen time. In the end, the movie is still satisfying enough and worthy of your time, but also just had so much missed potential that could have elevated it to the heights of the original, which remains one of the greatest movies of all time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Dinos K The main characters (especially Daniel) completed their arc in the first wonderful movie. There was no build up for a sequel but I had a good time watching the movie (the final fight was almost perfect) without loving it like the first one.
