The Karate Kid (1984) review

You're the best, around.
In the sense of the word, this movie was pretty dope. It's a time capsule of the 80's. Now after the disaster of synopsis' that I have ever done are better unwritten, so let's just write a tiny one. So Daniel (Ralph Macchio) moves into San Fernando Valley, he falls in love with Ali (Elisabeth Shue) who is the ex-girlfriend of cool-kid Johnny (William Zabka) who knows Karate. Now Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki Morita) who is the handy man at Daniel's new home will teach him Karate to win the tournament against Johnny's dojo, helmed by Kreese (Martin Kove) a 'murican man!
Daniel, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!

It doesn't really matter what I think of this movie because everyone gave it critical acclaim and I'm just going to do the same. I don't know what I can say about this movie that you haven't heard but here we go. The soundtrack was amazing. The training sequence and the whole montage was extremely well done and the teenage love thing was actually not annoying. My dark horse favorite part was when Bobby (Ron Thomas) is forced by Kreese to disqualify himself by destroying Daniel's calves. He immediately starts shouting I'm sorry Daniel, I was forced to do it. This was just a fantastically done sequence of true emotion. From start to finish, this was just an impactful movie and mark it here and now, inspired me to go forth and train Taekwondo.
