Really well made show with good production quality and a coherent plot. A good tv show continuation of the origional karate kid movies. However it does have its issues. It is extreemely campy and very bizarre. Geeky might be a word I use to describe what I think of this tv show. I wouldnt quite say it makes me cringe watching it, but it is definitely dancing the line. I think the older I get, I realize just how strange it is that these troublesome outcast kids turn to karate instead of gangs or other more realistic unhealthy outlets. Suspension of disbelief is a must have when going to see this cultural phenomenon. The show follows origional characters from the 1980s movie trilogy such as Johnny and Danniel LaRusso, as well as new ones, including Miguel a struggling angsty mexican teen, Johnny's struggling estranged teenage son who can't quite figure out a cool haircut, and Daniel's wife, who to my knowledge, wasn't featured in th origional movies, instead they just took someone who looked like a mom and put her on Daniel's side. Some characters are better than others and certain people are definitely better actors. Johnny, originally the high school bully, is a phenomenal actor and he plays the role of a disenfranchised down on his luck has been so well. I am astonished at how well he fits the role. Typically I would complain about his seeming lack of emotion, but in this case, it works as it is believable that after such an awful life, he would appear dead inside. The worst character by far however, almost ruins the entire show. Daniel's daughter, whose name I refuse to remember is the absolute worst person on the entire cast list. I can't tell if she is just a bad actor, or if the writers just hate her, or perhaps both. The dialogue that comes out of this child's mouth makes me want to throw my tv into the ocean. She's just awful, plastic, and the tv embodiment of a preteen middle school girl, which this show could have done without. She's just there to be the girl. And my criticism isn't because she is a woman, there are some excellent female characters in the show, such as Miguel's mom, and peyton list's character. Daniel's daughter just plain sucks and I wouldnt be mad if she unexplainably was not in the next season, like if the producers just didnt invite her back next season and no one mentioned her on screen, that would honestly be okay with me. She is honestly why I give this show 2 stars.

Lots of good action, somewhat entertaining, but it pales in comparison to the original. Much of the trouble I had watching this had to do with my suspension of disbelief. The original included the invasion by Soviet russian troops, the Soviets being a formidable opposing force to the USA. Them invading us was broadly seen as an actual possibility, though extreemely rare or unlikely as nuclear war seemed like the greater threat. But over all, that fear being invoked in the original resonated with the broader public's fear. However, this movie had none if that. North korea is somewhat of a joke, one of the last pillars of the crumbling communist world. They present next to no threat to the USA, it doesn't make any sense how North Korea would invade the USA, when imperial japan wouldn't launch a land invasion of the usa in ww2, instead just bombing our nearest state. Super unrealistic, they could have tweaked the plot, maybe having china be the invating force or just not calling it red dawn, that way it wouldnt need to be compared to the original.

This movie was somewhat of a dumpster fire of a film, It has a very weak and somewhat coherent plot, most of the movie is just establishing shots, blank screens, filler footage, bright flashing colors, and tasks that take way too long to do. This movie should have been 20 minutes. It also had a really stupid ending. I will say though if you like abstract and very interpretative art such as a blue square painted on a blank canvass, a banana duct-taped to canvass, or just public art in general, you will probably like this movie. As for me, someone who appreciates people putting a lot of creativity, thought, and actual work into an art piece, such as a "cinematic masterpiece", the movie was almost unenjoyable by any measure, and severely lacking in creativity and entertainment. Despite my overall rebuke, the visuals were quite good for the time this was created, which possibly could redeem the movie to some extent, however for me, not entirely, thus my one-star rating.

I have literally no clue what harley quin says ever. I am able to understand most voices on this show, but whenever harley talks it sounds like a squeaky swing set being used or a cassette tape rewinding. My ears hurt, I can't watch anymore.
