Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Karate Kid: Legends plays like a greatest hits album from a cover band.
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Karate Kid: Legends is watchable, but just barely. The movie relies more on its actors to sell a story that’s been told at least twice before in the series, and while the stars do an admirable job, it shouldn’t have all been on them.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Other than a standout performance from Ben Wang and some decent fights occasionally, Karate Kid: Legends ends up as one of those sequels that lacks interesting stakes and charm to recommend to longtime fans of the sports franchise.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: No. Just no. Seriously. No.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Writer Rob Lieber already had a template for this crowd-pleasing nostalgia trip, one which Jonathan Entwistle, in his feature directorial debut, acknowledges as 80’s inspired using such devices as split screens and neon-colored graffiti-style graphics.
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho?
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Young actor Ben Wang is a star with heart and presence, but he’s sadly stuck in a movie that has been assembled on a corporate conveyor belt.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: The old hands return to help out new talent in this latest chapter.
- [New] | Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: While the story feels a little rushed, and not all the characters are fully fleshed out. Karate Kid: Legends is a welcome addition to the franchise.
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: No surprises here, but sometimes that’s just fine.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Karate Kid: Legends is a love letter to fans old and new, but one that paints over its characters and their development in favor of speeding the plot along.
- Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: Ben Wang stars alongside Jackie Chan in the latest entry to the Karate Kid franchise.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A merely okay sequel that does nothing very original on a narrative level, and that, despite including impressive fight choreography, never manages to create a high level of tension due to some confusing directorial decisions.
