GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is better then the first Karate Kid. Not that it is a hard to do. This does not have a very good story line. It is very slow. I do not know why it got a 5.9. Really it is a 4. Not very good. There are better movie out there. It is really strange the way every one in Okinawa talks pigeon English. I thou they spoke Japanes in Okinawa. I think they still do. This is not a good movie. Do not see it. Do not waste your time. Do not waste your money. Do not see this movie. It is boring for the most part. Do see this movie see Rocky IV. Do not see this. This is pooh pooh. Bad movie bad movie bad movie bad movie. Do not see it.

ichabodcrane370 The first Karate Kid film - which was extraordinary - had a lot of little elements which American teenagers could relate to. This sequel does not. But it has some other good aspects that work in a different way.The basic story is that Miyagi learns his father is dying in Japan, so decides to travel there and see him one final time. Daniel decides to accompany Miyagi, partially to study Japanese cultures, but also to spend time with his friend Miyagi. When arriving in Japan, Miyagi runs into a childhood friend who later turned into his enemy, Sato, who holds a lifelong grudge against Miyagi for stealing his girlfriend as a teenager. Sato wants to arrange a fight to death against Miyagi, but is willing to wait until the death and mourning of Miyagi's father, out of respect. During this time, Daniel meets Sato's nephew Chozen (a Karate expert about Daniel's age) and major tension starts between the two of them. Also, Daniel meets a girl his age named Kumiko, and romance is started between them.This movie has some beautiful scenery (although not really filmed in Japan, but Hawaii), some interesting words of wisdom from Miyagi, good music, strong performances, and decently choreographed fight scenes. I also enjoyed the story, I'd just note that - unlike the first movie - this movie is really more about Miyagi than Daniel.But as a fan of the first movie, I really liked Elisabeth Shue's character, Ali, in the first movie, and wish she could have been included in this. I don't think Kumiko is as interesting a character as Ali, nor is her chemistry as strong with Daniel... The writers should have been able to think of some way to include her. Maybe Ali could have come to Japan to study Japanese cultures with Daniel? And spend time with her boyfriend? That's just my quick idea of how she could have been included in this movie. But it's too bad she wasn't.In summary, I'd say if you really enjoyed the first movie, and grew fond of the two main characters (Daniel and Miyagi), then you'll enjoy seeing them together in a different interesting story (as long as you don't expect this to be equally as good as the first). But if you did not love watching the chemistry between them in the first film, then it's highly unlikely you'd enjoy this one any better.

Minahzur Rahman The Karate Kid Part II is an okay sequel. Despite the very weak story I still found it a good movie to watch. The story is basically about Mr Miyagi (Pat Morita) who has received news that his father is seriously ill and decides to set off home to Japan and visit him whilst being accompanied by his student Daniel (Ralph Macchio). But things suddenly turn turmoil once they arrive there with Mr Miyagi (Pat Morita) facing his old rival and Daniel (Ralph Macchio) having a new enemy. Like I said, The Karate Kid Part II is an okay film but a pity just how terrible the story is. Pretty lame to put it and with a better story the film would've been very good. Another downfall of this film was that there wasn't much fighting (Karate) that you would've been expecting to see. Acting from some of the cast especially by Mr Miyagi rival that played Sato was very poor. The thing that was good about this film or what I've certainly found good was that the story was set in Japan and more about the character Mr Miyagi this time. This film is vastly different from the first one which was set in America and about Daniel so it was good to see something different of the Karate Kid saga.So Karate Kid Part II is not a great film but neither terrible. Its one of those films which you will either like or dislike and I personally liked it despite some of its flaws.

Jason915 I was a bit shocked when i saw how low this movie was rated. I think it is important that one does not compare it to the original. This is a movie about friendship, loyalty, life, and love. The film is beautifully shot with a great soundtrack. If you feel like picking it apart, you can find flaws in the writing. If anything it was a victim of the success of the first movie. If you have ever fallen in love, this movie will touch you. if you are looking for action, gory fight scenes..the title may lead you astray. This movie is about so much more than Karate. A wonderful movie for both kids and parents. Make some popcorn sit back and enjoy the film.
