So, as per the Rotten Tomatoes critics’ scores, the original film The Karate Kid is the highest-ranked film of the franchise, and that too by a considerable margin. The upcoming installment is ranked as the third-highest-rated film, trailing behind the 2010 reboot by a difference of 7%.
Is Karate Kid: Legends A Knockout Or A Miss?
So, coming back to our main question: Is Karate Kid: Legends a knockout or a miss based on its Rotten Tomatoes score? Well, it’s certainly not a miss, as the film ranks among the top three entries in the franchise. However, it’s not quite a knockout either, as the original 1984 classic still holds a significantly higher score. It remains to be seen whether the latest installment’s critics’ score improves in the coming days. Unlikely but not impossible.
Karate Kid: Legends – Plot & Cast
Directed by Jonathan Entwistle (I Am Not Okay with This, The End of the F***ing World) in his feature film directorial debut, Karate Kid: Legends takes place after the events shown in the recently concluded Cobra Kai series. The underlying plot of the film follows a gifted martial artist, Li Fong (Ben Wang), who relocates from Beijing to New York City with his mother.
But when the Kung Fu expert faces a challenge from a local karate champion, Connor Day (Aramis Knight), he decides to enter a karate tournament under the guidance of Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). The film also features Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley, and Ming-Na Wen in supporting roles.
