The Karate Kid franchise has been a beloved part of many fans’ lives for decades. With the latest installment, Karate Kid: Legends, hitting theaters on May 30, audiences were eager to see what the film had in store. But did it live up to their expectations?
For some fans, the movie was a letdown. One user took to Twitter to express their disappointment, saying “I’m a huge fan of the Karate Kid series and just got done watching Karate Kid legends… this movie was DOG SHIT omg.” Another user gave the film a rating of 3 out of 10, stating that it “fails to introduce anything novel, making it an easy movie to forget.”
However, not all fans were disappointed. Some praised the film for its nostalgic value and the return of beloved characters. One user tweeted, “Karate Kid Legends feels like a huge Cobra Kai spinoff episode and the pacing is sooo rushed. I’m happy to see Jackie Chan back and i really like how they connect both Karate Kid movie universe together.” Another user appreciated the film’s attempt to bring back a deceased actor using AI, although they found it “really bad.”
The movie follows the story of Li Feng, who moves to New York City and trains for a karate tournament with the help of Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, Ben Wang, and Joshua Jackson. In the Hindi version, Ajay Devgn and his son Yug Devgn have lent their voices to the characters of Mr. Han and Li Feng, respectively.
While opinions about the film are divided, one thing is clear – the Karate Kid franchise still holds a special place in the hearts of many fans. Whether or not Karate Kid: Legends lives up to their expectations, the franchise’s legacy continues to endure.
