Chase B. @RT33125274 Jun 11 Perfect mix of action plus a great story. See more Ben W @Username618 Jun 2 I remember the paint the fence bit. But then I did not have a lot of sympathy for / identify with, Ralph Macchio, very sorry. And fighting's grim, sorry. See more Brayden G. @DeadShotVibe802 Apr 17 Classic film of where it all started before the cobra Kai series See more Bret M. @BretM-3 Apr 8 This is a classic that makes you remember why you love classics and makes you want to watch more classics. It’s a great story about conquering your challenges and beating the bullies. And at the center of it all: the heartfelt friendship between Daniel and Mr. Miyagi. It’s a friendship that I love watching grow. Their relationship goes beyond respect, and we see that throughout the film. The fight scenes are also really good. In particular, the final fight between Daniel and Johnny. That fight gives me HUGE Rocky vibes. This is an 80s movie that everyone needs to watch. C’mon, like I said, it’s a classic!

Most 80s movies still feel fun, nostalgic, and timeless today. See more Romas M @Romas Mar 29 Greetings from Lithuania. "The Karate Kid" (1984) is one of those movies that is so easy to return to once in a while to revisit the film so full of energy and nostalgia. I didn't grew up with this film and discovered only in my 20's, but since then I bought it on 4K and watching it from time to time. This is an excellently paced, acted and directed movie about ... well there is no need to go into plot details in 2026 since so many sequels and shows were made. Still this is my favorite from the bunch - sometimes less is better. Performances by Ralph Macchio & Pat Morita were excellent and really glued the film together. These two made such an iconic duet. Directing by the later John G. Avildsen ("Rocky") was excellent. Overall, "The Karate Kid" still works all those years later because its core is excellent. Great dialogs, iconic performances, great pacing and editing makes this one of the great movies that were made in 80's. Great film. See more Read all reviews
