Karate Kid: Legends-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- Joel16. maj 2025The Karate Kid, but worse! Tons of problems but the TikTok best hits esque soundtrack might be the worst part of the whole movie.
- Leonhartsberger26. marts 2026very predicable and low budget. Cobra Kai and original Karate Kids are much better
- Alex | Pop Culture Brain30. maj 2025We're doing this again? We are doing this again! I saw Karate Kid Legends so here's the good and bad without spoilers After 5 movies and 6 seasons of a TV show Is there any juice left in the Karate Kid franchise? Turns out the answer is hell yes Karate Kid Legends was so much more than I was expecting While being exactly what I was expecting — if that makes any sense This is a Karate Kid movie through and through But writer Rob Lieber and director Jonathan Entwistle have given it new life With a dynamic New York City setting, a little bit of variation in the fighting styles An inversion of the student teacher dynamic, and subtle exploration of racial differences But most importantly this movie is fast paced — At 94 minutes, the writing and editing is economical and efficient — While still being emotionally and tonally effective It’s got real stakes, the emotions of the story work, and they captured the right blend of humor, action, and heart Now that said Ralph Macchio’s inclusion felt a little forced His supporting role works in the end, but I could feel the strain of getting Daniel in there Some acting was a little corny and the writing at times was cliche Also the villain was a bit under developed and 1 dimensional But all of that was kind of expected and forgivable in this type of movie Because it’s the Karate Kid, you know what you’re going to get But despite that, I was still swept up in the story and would absolutely recommend this to longtime fans and newcomers alike

- DemonSS1018. juli 2025Great movie a little slow but very modern and worth a watch
- Eric Bakke4. juni 2025Karate Kid Legends doesn’t pretend to be more than it is—a fun, formulaic addition to the franchise that sticks closely to the familiar karate kid template. The pacing is a bit frantic, clearly aimed at viewers used to short-form content. Still, it knows its audience and delivers: training montages, intense showdowns, and just enough nostalgia to satisfy longtime fans.
- Junior Reyes22. marts 2026Legacy or Simply Entertainment? Stepping into the theater to watch *Karate Kid Legends* is an exercise in hope for those of us who grew up with the "wax on, wax off" philosophy. The 2025 film is, without a doubt, a solid and entertaining production, yet it merely skims the surface of what was once a profound cultural phenomenon. Visually, it is impeccable. The fight choreography has evolved, feeling modern, dynamic, and expertly executed. It fulfills its primary function of keeping you glued to the screen and serves as a decent option for passing the time. If you are unfamiliar with the backstory, it stands as a perfectly functional action movie. For those of us who have watched the original more than five times, the verdict is clear: it doesn't even come close. The first film wasn't just about kicks and punches; it was about emotional connection, resilience, and that distinct "feeling" that made you feel the adrenaline coursing through your chest. In this 2025 version, the "spirit of reality" feels diluted. It lacks that mystique—that sense that you, too, could learn karate right there in your own backyard. It feels like a slickly packaged product, yet one devoid of the inner fire that Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi ignited all those years ago. It is a good movie, but it lacks the soul that transforms a film into an enduring legend. It serves as an acceptable sequel/reboot for new generations, but for the veteran viewer, it leaves behind a void that is difficult to fill. You will watch it, you will be entertained, but once the credits roll, chances are you’ll want to head straight home to put on the original—just to feel that true passion once again.
- dkct621. marts 2026Show was a ramp up started of a little slow but then it got good
- Zokkiie8. marts 2026Pretty enjoyable overall. The movie keeps things simple and sticks to the classic underdog setup, which works even if it feels familiar. The training scenes are fun and the mentors together add a lot of charm. Some parts of the story feel a bit rushed and a few characters could’ve used more development. But the fights are solid and the final fight is really good, easily the best moment in the movie. Fun, easy watch.
- Hipster ZOMBIE1. juni 2025I used to think The Next Karate Kid was the worst entry in the Karate Kid franchise. 2025’s Karate Kid Legends has easily dethroned it as the most disappointing film in the series. After the beloved Netflix series, Cobra Kai, ended I was actually looking forward to this new film thinking the franchise might continue. Now after watching Legends I’d be happy to never see any future sequels in this franchise. The film is disjointed, poorly shot and edited and the first large chunk of the film has viewers following the bland new lead Li training some dude for a boxing match. We seriously don’t see either LaRusso or Han until almost an hour into the movie! LaRusso and Han finally show up, it’s too little, too late. Their arrival feels like a contractual obligation rather than a triumphant return. The editing throughout is a choppy nightmare. Scenes awkwardly jump without rhythm or logic, as if multiple cuts of the movie were carelessly stitched together by someone who’d never heard of pacing. Emotional beats land flat, action scenes fizzle instead of pop, and major moments are undercut by confusing tonal shifts. The film has an identity crisis And never seems to find what type of story it wants to tell. And let’s talk about the Cobra Kai connection—or lack thereof. For a film with “Legends” in the title, it bizarrely distances itself from the most relevant and successful modern continuation of the franchise. No Hawk. No Tory. No Miguel. Just a throwaway post-credit cameo that screams of studio hesitation rather than creative intention. It’s like they forgot what made this universe thrive again in the first place. In short, “Karate Kid: Legends” feels like a spinoff nobody asked for, dressed up in nostalgia it barely earns. Instead of a powerful reunion, we got a slapdash side story with legacy characters awkwardly wedged in. A disappointing misfire from top to bottom.
- Chris Ewalt22. februar 2026Awesome!! Movie!!!
- branden augustine29. januar 2026The first half of this movie and the second half of this movie are diffrent movies, and I think I liked the first half more. Also the aesthetic gives big Street Fighter 6 energy.
- HyruleNasMain3. januar 2026Great movie, the casting was great. Jackie was funny and the cameo from Johnny way fantastic.
- John Garcia11. juli 2025The movie merged together 2 styles. Something different. I enjoyed it especially seeing Johnny Lawrence at the end. We need a spinoff with Johnny...My fav over daniel. I recommend this
