This movie is fantastic, shows us a brand new plot with new characters. Pat Morita is the best and it further dives into the story origin. Nevertheless, there was still some scenes similar to the old antagonist, Kreese. I would have wished they did better on that. Although the trilogy of the karate kid is so much better than this, this is still pretty decent. If you want to see a pre-oscar, Hilary Swank ,you should definitely watch this. I 100% recommend.
