New Release

‘Karate Kid: Legends’

Li Fong (Ben Wang) is a young gifted martial artist who moves to New York, where conflict with a rival pushes him into a martial arts contest. With guidance from seasoned mentors Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), he prepares for the ultimate test.

This installment walks a familiar path—comfortably so. It leans hard on classic beats, sometimes too predictably, but still manages to spark a bit of charm. Fans will feel a tug of nostalgia, even if the film doesn’t quite earn what it reaches for.
