This movie has some definite problems, but you know what? I enjoyed the hell out of it. And I don’t think that’s just because I’m an absolute sucker for these kinds of movies (though I definitely am). This is a Karate Kid movie that gets the ‘Karate Kid’ part dead on, with a GREAT lead turn from Ben Wang, who is extremely charming and charismatic, and probably the most physically convincing lead in any of the Karate Kid films when it comes to the actual martial arts.

If you are from my generation, you will remember the words of Mr. Miyagi, "Danielson, Wax on, Wax off," spoken in his heavily Asian accented voice. If you are from a younger generation, you may have heard these words spoken by older adults but not really know what they meant. If you are currently a teenager or in your early 20s, this whole idea may be foreign to you-unless, of course, you watched Cobra Kai on Netflix.
