I didn't find much enjoyment in that movie at the time, but rewatching after watching Cobra Kai made me take a more honest look at it. It's actually pretty good and wholesome, with an annoying main character but a supporting cast of lovely people just trying to get by in life.

This is up there with my favorite sports movies (it's a genre I'm not crazy about, though), but it's also a really enjoyable eighties teen drama with winning performances from the three leads and a memorable bad guy.

Not a nostalgia review because I never watched this movie growing up, but the Karate Kid is a solid, oftentimes inspiring buddy pic/love story/high school dramedy. There are so many things going on, but somehow Macchiato and Mr. Miyagi make it all into a believable whole. Thus music is a perfect encapsulation of the time and elevates the hero's journey. The rushed and improbably ending is all that takes away from a true classic.

Seen: ?. I know I have seen this multiple times as a young child, but this is my first time seeing it all the way through beyond the age of ten. It's cheesy, it's dopey, but it's fun. The journey was drawn out, and yet the ending was strangely abrupt.

Cozy, comfortable 80s cheese. Formulaic but with heartwarming characters and very quotable.

This is definitely a classic film, and the hardest in the series to forget - but it's still flawed. The fight choreography isn't very realistic, but because you care about these characters, you forgive where there may be imperfections in those technicalities.
