Leave your thoughts about The Next Karate Kid.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyDesperately trying to infuse new blood into the 1980s franchise, the fourth installment is a hodgepodge that fashions recycled ideas and characters; the rebllious girl is played Hilary Swank, who would go to Oscar glory. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumNot that girls will go see this or boys will care. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackLeisurely and overly familiar pic should appeal to young teen girls, but won't be breaking any B.O. bricks with its bare hands. |
| Orlando SentinelLina SebastianClearly, three sequels haven’t improved Miyagi’s English, but there is something bitchin’ about seeing a babe give a bully a good thwack. Not that girls will go see this or boys will care. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a weak sequel that boasts few compelling attributes aside from Pat Morita's expectedly stirring turn as Mr. Miyagi. |
| Baltimore SunStephen HunterThis film feels like a desperate attempt to squeeze a few last bucks out of what was once a very obliging cash cow. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThe film does have a few warm moments and is at its best when simply developing the relationship between Miyagi and Julie. But, as you might expect, those moments are few and far between and overshadowed by all the ludicrous plotting. |
| Common Sense MediaCharles CassadyViolent sequel doesn't benefit from gender change. |
| VarietyLisa NesselsonThe franchise is still kicking -- but not very high. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyShellie IliffTypically, good battles evil and, as always, good prevails. |
