Karate Kid: Legends
While Karate Kid Legend may hold appeal for a younger audience drawn to high-energy martial arts sequences and a familiar underdog narrative, I found the film somewhat lacking in depth. The storyline followed a predictable arc with few surprises, and although competently executed, it offered little in the way of emotional complexity or thematic richness.
That said, one commendable aspect was the inclusion of a sustainability seal during the end credits. This small but significant detail signals an awareness of environmental responsibility within the production process—something I deeply value. While the film itself may not have resonated with me, it’s encouraging to see the industry making strides towards greener filmmaking practices.
