Review of The Karate Kid (1984) by Bradens584 — 20 Dec 2020
The Karate Kid may not be a masterpiece, but it’s an undeniable classic. Plagued with caricatures of the 80s (you can interpret that as good or bad), this film still manages to convey a good message with a great story and characters.
The acting was especially impressive, and is something its many clones have failed to replicate. The character arcs are nuanced (another thing the clones lack) and it has generally good writing. I can’t fathom anyone not having seen this movie, so I don’t think there’s much more to say.
