    Way too serious. The Karate Kid is supposed to be fun, goofy, awesomely 80's, mixed with some cool martial arts like the crane kick. The 3rd installment is all about maturity, dealing with business problems, etc... There are not many enjoyable parts to this movie except when D...( read more)aniel-San climbs down a cliff to rescue a banzai tree, which is not supposed to be funny at all; it's ridiculous.

    while still concentrating on the same themes it gets a little sillier. suddenly you have the triumvirate of kove, griffith and kanan as the bad guys. i gotta admit the maniacal laughter of griffith after mr miyagi decks him is a stroke of genius. he's the ultimate bad guy, reveng...( read more)e for fun and a snake in the grass. i always remember idolising him slightly when i first saw this as he was the baddest baddie of all three

    again..not as good as the first,of course,but its still actually quite good,getting alittle samey with the plot but it still works and lifts u by the end.the baddies still work well and the return of kove actually gives the whole thing a complete feel.it looks alittle tv movieish...( read more) this time but the different fighting styles confronting daniel make it interesting and overall completes the trilogy well.

    The third and final film that Ralph Macchio starred in as the Karate Kid. Also stars Pat Morita once again as well. This is a solid movie. This time the sensei from the original film is back to get revenge on Daniel and Miyagi with help from a old army buddy. Much like the origin...( read more)al Daniel must overcome his fears and doubts. I liked this movie. More like the original movie. If you enjoyed the other Karate Kid films then you should also like this.
