Anecdoted or skipped?

The initial fishing phrase from Karate Kid: Myths ((You are now on VOD platforms like Amazon Prime VideoIt is “two branches, one tree”, but it may be “two branches, one conspiracy.” But perhaps this is not a bad thing? The new movie takes the story of OG Ralph Macchio that started with Pop Classic of 1984 Karate And he set out to a series of broadcast in Cobra KayAnd merged it with the Jackie Chan, which is led by Jackie Chan again Hit 2010-continues to give us another story about the new child in the city who is being intimidated by martial arts and struggle through the Karate Championship. Thus the new child carries the burden here: The American -born Chinese Star Ben Wang, the best thing in a movie that may be somewhat familiar to his interest.

essence: Preparing to re -update: the way back when, Mr. Han (Chan) and Mr. Miaji (Pat Maurita, appears in the old Karate Fortunately not via CGI DOPPELGANGER) were friends! It turns out that the Karate style of the MIYAGI family was born from the Kung Fu teachings of the Han family. What about that! Here, where we sighed in a state of relief, because this is not another multiple movie. Now we jump to Beijing at the present time, where Lee Fung (Wang) is the student of Mr. Han, his great uncle. This, to a large extent to the anger of Li Mother (Ming Nan), who does not seem to have a name but a doctor, so we will call it Dr. Mom. Dr. My mother prevents me from fighting, no questions, no explanations. Just not do that. never. Then the news that was transferred to a hospital in New York City falls BlamoAnd there, they leave China behind and moved to the new New York City excavations. Please note that many of the conspiracy developments in this movie go BlamoThe most likely to keep things is moving along a fast fast fast division, for the better or worse.

Thus, in order not to waste any time at all, the film makes sure that the first person who meets me in New York becomes his friend: Mia (Sadi Stanley), Smiley Pizza Slinger in the store is just around the corner. Her father is Victor (Dawson Kreik Vet Joshua Jackson), and Whardaya know that it is an elderly debt box to Cretin (Tim Roson) that runs MMA Dojo for holes and any student also his star, Convention Knight. What a wonder. This is a coincidence of Lota, but we will continue to move. Conor Sucypunchees Li, which returns to the home with a black eye and instead of the broken bike, the MIA’s mobed that needs to be repaired. On this point, my 10 -year -old was, “No this Again! “In a tone hit like a crane kick in a good position, referring to all the plot points you remember from ’84 KkLike the true son of the Cricket.

Not everything completely The same, though. Victor wants to get out of the fighting in order to win some dough to pay the money he owes, and he is very good in Kung Fu, so the adult child knows this time. But we do not wander away from the right path before Victor returns to the ring, which makes him a resident in Balkaville, which prompted me to challenge the desires of Dr. Mom-something bad that happened not long ago to make it hostile to them from Kong Fu, and I was struck in a series of bed cells creditT Connor is a few SUMPIN-SUMPIN and winning a pile of money. Uncle Mr. Han fly to inspire him, then And Amo Uncle Han flying to California to employ Daniel La Roso (Ralph McCio), and And Amo Daniel falls everything and flies to New York. Together, they get a beating of me in a week with a week to go before the start of the tournament, and we can only hope that it will arise And Amo Connor the right to puss.

What movies will you remind you?: I think I have already detailed how it reminds us very much KarateThe 1984 and 2010 publications. In terms of the continuation of the concession legacy, it is more than a They are forced from Doctrine.

Performance is worth watching: Wang has large stars power and fuel Myths With Estupo Energy and a worthy capacity to provide light comedy and light drama easily.

Unfortunate dialogue: Victor Lee is advised to put a tea bag on a shiner:

Li: Green? black?

Victor: Lipton.

Sex and skin: no one.

We took: To answer the burning question that you can already know the answer, yes, I have to learn a special step in order to get an opportunity against Connor. It seems as if the screenwriter Rob Lieber and director Jonathan Instaltal are concerned that the fans may not know Myths As the latest piece of Kk The concession if not all the main moves of the first movie. Spot, color and light on its feet as it can, Myths It often seems to be a microwave that is slightly dried microwave and tastes about 65 percent like the original meal.

What Myths It does not repeat it is a performance on the feet of equal Karate The dust will be dust in the middle of the package. Myths He tries to revitalize this spirit via Macchio and Chan – it shows me someone who does not like these men and show you a person who may be tremors – but in the end it is to allow their chemicals with each other, and with Wang, it is completely evolving. I know very well how the movies are too long these days, however Myths‘Brisk 94 minutes makes the story slight, which mainly allows the development of the character that we remember with pride from the previous films that all work does so that you can cram it at all plot points and Two or three new.

I also wonder about Entwistle’s sense of standardization in terms of guidance and dance design serials. The battle moves Myths Roundhouse is great, crazy, kicking from video games, to the extent that the drawings on the screen are included when the championship fighter records a point. Keep the movements based on reality, and the director may be able to allow the viewer to play organically instead of playing Chopsocky in the editorial room to make these sequences coherent. Perhaps the emphasis on photographing dances flowing on excessive unique lounges is more difficult, but in my experience, it is always that, always Pay.

I don’t mind, Myths Not necessarily a bad time in front of the screen. Wang shows great potential as a pioneer with his healthy personality, which is Stanley is a beloved presence (the film can use more of them, frankly) and only 400 pounds. Gorilla of Debie Download would consist of verbal and physical comic pieces between Macchio and Chan. The film recounts like a missile, and prevents young masses from losing attention, and its vibrant visual dynamism. But investing in the same old story again is similar to watching a 40 -year -old football game and chanting like it in actual time.

Our invitation: Karate Kid: Myths For some viewers, I will have left with an annoying feeling that, despite its indescribable energy, it does not provide anything new to a privilege in urgent need of a new story. Skip it.
