    Already on social platform worldwide.

    Why would you release a movie in Mexico and not rest of world. You yourself drop sales by doing stupid things. People are watching this world wide on social platforms different websites. Although I wouldn't watch it on cam or TS format. Cause I want to see it in cinema. But to be honest if I had three kids I would have watched it in cam or TS PLATFORM. I think because bosses are old and they probably don't know how quickly movie comes on websites. Movies come on websites on the day of premier. Not even first day. Camera are so sophisticated now days. That they can give clear picture and good voice from things recorded from theatres.

    Prepare for Disappointment

    The fights are bad, the story is bad, the characters are bad. Seems like they put in half effort on everything in this movie and hoped that Jackie Chan alone would make people want to watch this. I watched this movie for free and I still feel robbed, I could have spent that time doing anything else and it would've been better than sitting through this movie. The actor playing the main character didn't get in shape at all for this movie; he is built like a small girl and it's hard to believe he can punch through anything other than a wet paper napkin. Lastly kung fu is all but useless for self defense; however I can appreciate the stylish choreography it brings into movies like Ip Man. There was no such fancy eye candy choreography in this movie, and is possibly the worst martial arts movie I've ever seen.

    My opnion for Karatê Kid legends

    Dude, I watched Karate Kid Legends and I was impressed. The movie has a lot of action scenes and the main character, called Li or Stuffed Edge, reminded me a lot of Jackie Chan from the past. Daniel appeared little, but he was important to the movie. What I think the movie gets wrong is the way it ends, it focuses too much on fanservice and ends up being very repetitive. Another thing is that the character Li or Stuffed Edge seems to already have a goal, he already seems to deal with things, so it gets a bit boring. Look, it's a movie to watch in the afternoon with your father or family. I would recommend you watch it in the cinema, yes, but it would also be worth waiting for it to come out on streaming, but okay, remember there's a really quick post-credit scene that took my laughs away, like the movie too, so that's it.

    A perfect combination of Karate and Kung Fu that worked incredibly well!

    To talk about this movie, we have to start by saying how amazing it was to see Karate and Kung Fu mixed in just the right way, creating a great film with an original story that manages to please both longtime fans and new audiences alike.

    I'd also like to briefly share a personal story. Karate has been present in my family for years, and we gathered on Mother's Day to watch this movie, which made it even more special for me. We're big fans of the franchise, and I'm truly grateful for this film, which I consider just as great as its predecessors.

    Speaking of the cast, the new Karate Kid, Li Fong, played by Ben Wang, proved to be a perfect casting choice. He's just as good as the previous protagonists. His story starts out similar to Dre's, but as we get to know him better, we see that it's more moving than we expected. The way he tries to move forward through martial arts is truly inspiring.

    When we talk about the cast, it's impossible not to mention Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan, who are now tasked with training a new Karate Kid. Seeing them together again made me incredibly happy, and they manage to captivate fans of both the original trilogy and the 2010 movie.

    As for Mr. Han, it was amazing to see him again. Honestly, I'd love to learn more about how he became such a great Kung Fu teacher. His relationship with Li Fong is very special, and the story between them adds more depth to the movie than I expected.

    Regarding Daniel's return-someone we've seen a lot in Cobra Kai-it's always a joy to see him back. I was genuinely happy, though I did hope he'd have more screen time. Still, seeing him again was wonderful, and especially the scenes where he and Mr. Han team up to train the new Karate Kid-those were so much fun.

    About Sadie Stanley, I really liked her character and her relationship with Li Fong. It's sweet, lighthearted, and makes the audience root for them as a couple.

    Joshua Jackson, who plays her father, also did a great job. His character is funny and interesting, and his scenes with Li are quite engaging. Speaking of fun characters, Wyatt Oleff's character also stands out, bringing a lot of humor and lightness to the story.

    Every Karate Kid movie has had villains that make us really angry, and this one is no different. Connor, played by Aramis Knight, is a very compelling character who gets under our skin, all thanks to Aramis's excellent performance.

    Regarding the story and script-it's much deeper than I expected. The way Li Fong overcomes everything is truly inspiring, especially with the help of Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso. On top of that, the fight scenes, as in every Karate Kid movie, are thrilling and incredible. All the professionals involved deserve praise.

    So it's no exaggeration to say that this film is just as grand as the previous ones. It brings back nostalgic elements that longtime fans will appreciate, but also introduces fresh originality that can captivate even those who aren't fans of the franchise.

    Finally, I'd like to thank everyone involved once again. I sincerely hope there will be future projects that are just as epic as this one. Thank you once again for being part of such a special moment in my life.

    Another Kung-Fu Kid, clearly the goal is to win over the Chinese public

    It's clear that the focus now is to conquer the Chinese market at all costs. After all, money almost always speaks louder than quality, tradition, or respect for history. If the goal is to attract the Chinese audience, then create new stories with authentic characters from that culture instead of forcing changes onto the classics that defined generations. I'd much rather rewatch Cobra Kai or the old movies that still preserve the essence of what was great. I just hope they never dare to touch masterpieces like The Goonies or Back to the Future. At this rate, the next thing might be Creed featuring kung fu to please the Asian market. In the end, it all comes down to one word: money, money, money...
