Customer Reviews of The Karate Kid
show me.........sand the floor! The Karate Kid was THE movie of its generation. Around the time it came out I was only 8 but at least everybody I knew who was my age or even older had seen it. I think its strength lies on how many people at different ages can identify with the story itself. Daniel, "the karate kid", moves from N.J. to southern california and has the difficult challenge of making new friends. Eventually Daniel becomes the object of bullying after trying to hook up with the ex-girlfriend of the bully's leader. Daniel eventually learns that his handyman is a master of the martial arts and asks him to train him. Well Daniel learns even more than just how to "fight back". He learns that karate is not a weapon but merely a technique used for self-defense to prevent people FROM fighting. Along the way he also learns self-confidence and balance as a key not only for karate but also as a symbol in helping overcoming any obsticles throughout life. This movie just works on so many levels. The father son relationship can be seen through the eyes of the student (Daniel) and the teacher (Mr Myagi). This movie will make you laugh, cry, and cheer!! Highly recommended!!!!
Plenty of Drama, Romance, and.... Karate!!!
"The Karate Kid" stars Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso, the new kid in California who just moved with his mother from New Jersey. But problems immediately arise when Daniel has his eye on Ali (Elizabeth Shue) and they start hanging out. And that's not the problem exactly, it's that Ali's old boyfriend, Johnny (William Zabka) gets jealous and with his band of his karate friends from the Cobra Kai Dojo, beat up and pick on Daniel. Daniel wants very badly to have revenge on the Cobra Kai gang and is obsessed on learning karate. With the help of a handyman, Miyage-san (Pat Morita), who is not what he seems, learns karate so he can enter the All-Valley Karate Championship Tournament. Throughout his training, Daniel not only learns how to do karate, he learns that you learn karate not to fight, but to stop fighting.
A truly touching and heart-warming tale!! I've always been fascinated by karate and since my father learned karate when he was young, he has taught me a few things. I rented this video and couldn't tear myself away from the TV set. The acting is good with Ralph Macchio as 'the karate kid' who learns a few things from a wonderful teacher, Pat Morita. Elizabeth Shue is also great as the girlfriend and William Zabka makes a wonderful and believable villain. The movie has plenty of principles which are important: to have patience, fighting does not solve any problems, trust in your mentors, and more.
This is a definite must-see for teenagers and adults. Don't miss out on "The Karate Kid"! I can't wait to get this DVD and watch it again!
good movie
This 1984, 'modern classic' by director John G. Avildsen ("Lean On Me"; "8 Seconds") is a solid movie--very entertaining. I'll admit there is nothing truly spectactular about it. Robert Kamen's ("The Fifth Element") writing is good, but nothing truly great. Macchio and Morita put in solid performances. The karate is only mediocre, but the principles aren't exactly martial arts experts. Still, it is one of those films I fondly remember as a child, and one I can still go back to all these years later. It holds up over time.
