4/ The karate kid

The karate kid is a movie dated back to the early 1980s. The story takes place in southern California in which a young boy has barely moved there. The actor Ralph Macchio’s starring character is a troubled young teenager with problems with other kids and several other troubles. Then he happened to live next to an immigrant named Mr. miyagi and helps him deal with most of the problems he has later in the movie.

I personally am new to the movie and for seeing it for the first time I personally say that I give it two thumbs down. Why, because the story took forever to understand. Also there’s was hardly any action and judging from the title of the film, the karate kid, one has to assume that at the very least there would be some good fight scenes.other than the lack of fight scenes the conversations were predictable and he kept going back and forth with the girl he likes.  But nonetheless if you’re an action fan movie I recommend NOT seeing the movie.

However if you love dram I recommend it because of the kids trouble and seeing that he literally moved from one side of the country to another the west side. It shows the troubles of starting fresh not knowing anyone. Also dealing with bullies in school, etc. It shows a growing friendship between Mr Miyagi and Daniel. Even though not knowing anyone he found a person that not only to talk to but to train him in karate to keep him self safe. in fact if you’re a drama fan there’s everything in this movie that makes it a good drama movie for anyone to see.

  1. Not long enough (250 words minimum) other than the lack of fight scenes detail other specifics of why you didn't like this movie.
