Review of The Karate Kid (1984) by Joe C — 25 Apr 2013
The original karate kid will always be better than the jaden smith remake. Everyone knows that. This is a classic film that everyone should have is a part of their collection. Ralph Macchio holds no special purpose because that part couldve been played by any 17 year old but Macchio did it okay.
Mr. Miyagi on the other hand was perfect in any way and I cant imagine any other person in that role. To me, I enjoy The Cobra Kai. I use them as all one character. They are really nothing more than stupid teenagers with a bad teaching mentality.
Its the combination of them with miyagi and macchio makes this a triumph story for the books. If you havent seen it, make it a point to do so. The first one is always the best one.
