Review of The Karate Kid Part III (1989) by Matm — 20 Aug 2021

If you are a fan of the first two Karate Kid movies, you should not skip “The Karate Kid Part III”. I feel like it does a good job of continuing the story in new ways that weren't already covered.

If you never liked the first two movies, this one will not win you over, as it is easily the weakest of the 3. I feel like this entry lacks the moving character interaction scenes that the others deliver on.

I do appreciate that the villain has a plan more sophisticated than simply beating Daniel up, but the fact that it drives a wedge between him and Miyagi, means that we don't get those great scenes with the two of them together.

I give it a C, if you've already seen the best, but you insist on watching a movie, try this one out.
