Karate Kid: Legends

Karate Kid: Legends blends nostalgia and fresh faces in a story that revisits the classic journey of self-discovery through martial arts. The return of Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio warms longtime fans’ hearts, while the tenderness in the teenage scenes brings an unexpected freshness. Even though the script plays it safe and the fight scenes fall short in impact, the film delivers an emotional reunion with a universe that has marked generations. Caught between paying homage and the need to evolve, Karate Kid: Legends offers a comforting invitation to get emotional once again—even if it feels like a story you’ve already heard before.
