This article contains spoilers For "Karate Child: Legends".

In 1984, "Karate Child" by G.N. Avilsen was one of the best family movies aroundAnd for the last 40 years, nothing could keep it. A series of films that turn around teenagers who overcome obstacles in their lives through military skills have somehow managed to avoid ambiguity by incorporating the formula. Even a 2010 reboot starring Jackkeepi Chan and Jaden Smith finished as a pretty good movie on its own. But let's be real. The only reason why the "karate child" franchise is still highlighted as it is today is because of "Cobra Kai".

The red sensation of YouTube has turned into Netflix is ​​quite anomaly. There were so many ways that a series of inheritance sequels to the 80s phenomenon could have been sour. But "Cobra Kai" hit him hard by pushing those tropes to such an absurd degree that he pulled around to be a shocking endeavor - For the most part. Not only did they make them less than the Ellwell of the sequels to feel significant, they also transformed Nyoni Lawrence (William Tooth) from a teen bully in the most interesting character in the series. You would think that six seasons on a television series would use all the juices of the "karate kid" franchise, but unfortunately there is another legacy sequel.

"Karate Kid: Legends" tries to link the films in 1984 and 2010, while still telling a brand new story, and it's a pretty disappointing. Ben Wang proves that he has charisma and will undoubtedly be a Starwar in the coming years, but the film does not provide any services. It is predominantly forgotten restart, which takes care of the attention of the attention of Tiktok, which is nailed under the weight of one's own defocused mediocre. /Movie Whitney Seibard was more positive than I was in his review.

Part of what made "Cobra Kai" a successful "karate child" bonsai branch was its balance to expose the stories between heritage and new mattress children, which is a very thing that struggles to fight the film. I'm a sucker for this silly, silly franchise and yet "legends" miss the mark, especially when it comes to its antagonists.

In "Karate Child", the central villains worked outside of Cobra Kai and were led by their toxic sensory Johnon Crays (Martin Covae). They were fundamentally contrary to the levels of Mr. Miyagi (Morita's Road) and disputed Daniel Laruso (Ralph McCio) at every step of the road. In "Legends", however, Wang Lee Shon inadvertently contradicts demolishing mixed military skills. While hanging out with Victor Lipani (Oshoshua Acksexone), Lee learns that the former boxer has turned into a pizza store is currently in debt. The gym leader, O'Chea (Tim Roson), ends up to send several of his creditors to beat Victor money, but Lee intervenes. MIA (Sadi Stanley), Victor's daughter, at one point refers to Lee as Chinese Peter Parker and will be damn if her folding is not right on money.

Lee knocked around a little, but his training with Mr. Hahn returned to Beijing, when O'Sea's men were ready to overcome Victor on the pulp. He can't record nets, but still shares the Agility of the Wallid on Marvel's signature and ends up taking them out with minimal effort. This is what prompts him to teach Victor Kung-Fu to return to the boxing game and win enough money to pay off his debts. The only question is that the demolition is as a generic villain as they come.

Although demolition thugs are easily bad for disposable, their central ringworm is such a non-flow. O'CHEA is barely in the movie and makes no shot. There is no personality for the way the demolition works, whether they are their predatory practices for loan or even how they run their studio. I'm not sure how you make MMA boring sharks, but "legends" certainly find a way.

Connor's Day of Aramis Bet is presented as a personal obstacle to Lee during "legends". He is not just a champion fighter who works outside the demolition, but a rough ex -boyfriend of MIA with a middle string to his combat techniques. In many ways, Connor hit many the same rhythms as Johnoni Lawrence. He becomes aggressive when he catches and MIA together in the subway, wins a struggle that fosters the main character and makes it to the final of the big martial arts competition.

There is an infinite piece of dramatic tension when Lee seems to see Mia and Connor on a date together that is nothing. When he brings it later, the item is resolved in the same scene. Even more confusing that Mia is at the moment to return to Connor, knowing well that his mentor abuses her father, and yet he continues to work with O'Sea.

The most interesting aspect of Connor is the short moment when you see that his humanity comes out in the presence of his overwhelming sensors, trying to push him over his boundaries. But the difference is that Cres is a constant presence in the karate life of Johnoni and in accordance and in the championship of all valleys. There is a room for "legends" to be built on an absent mentoring figure in front of the face of M -Hahn and Daniel in the corner of Lee, but O'Chea barely present in the film, let alone the last wheels of the 5 environments.

Nyoni demonstrates vulnerability in the face of crisis mentoring, which Connor never experiences how to get the burden of it. Knight only sometimes meets a more interesting character, who unfortunately really doesn't have much about him with what he gave here.

"Karate Kid: Legends" now play in cinemas all over the country.
