I absolutely loved this movie.. its great, has a great plot there are lots of fighting scenes and in general is just a nice good movie. definitely the best out of all 3 karate kid movies. once you watch this one the other 2 are a disappointment to be honest. I watched this movie absolutely loving it and couldn't wait to watch the second one but it was such a disappointment I read a lot of the reviews of part 2 and a lot of people didn't particularly like it. part 2 is not worth watching, just read what it's about and you'll be fine however part 3 is a big improvement on part 2 but still isn't as good as the first one. I was so sad really when the other 2 weren't as good as the first because I enjoyed it so much.. and was really looking forward to watching them. anyway I would recommend this movie its great. definitely deserves 5 stars
