Review: (#1, C+) Reminiscent of past Karate Kid posters, the resemblance is obviously intentional. The backdrop is a bit too formal and rigid but it gets to the intended purpose fittingly and using the warm orange glow to add to the feeling of familiarity.

Review: (#1, C) There’s an attempt here to build on character loyalty while meandering through expected tropes in a pseudo-sequel that blends the Jackie Chan character with the Ralph Macchio character and a new generation of karate kids. There just isn’t enough here to entice any but the most devoted fans.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
