I loved everything about Karate Kid: Legends. It takes the heart of what we love about The Karate Kid and uses it to enhance the heart of what’s new. Jackie Chan’s endless charm channels Pat Morita’s endearing spirit, Joshua Jackson was perfect casting to bring freshness to the franchise’s well-tread story, and while this “introduces” Ben Wang to film audiences, anyone who watched his recent television shows knew that he had the goods to carry the likable underdog torch. The breakneck pace does undercut the action, but it also bolsters the emotional cheese to “pure vibes” status, delivering the exact corniness I’d hoped for.
