everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

That Mr Miyagi guy is really something. He is my fav character and this one is about him and his awesomeness. And just for that this is a worthy follow up to the first one. You get to know about Miyagi's Past and you also get a nice continuation of the story.

In the first Karate Kid movie, the plot focuses on young Daniel and his quest (through Mr. Miyagi) to show the school bullies that he can indeed defend himself. In this sequel, the subject matter gets a littler darker with the journey into Mr. Miyagi's past.For a basic plot summary, "Karate Kid II" sees Miyagi (Pat Morita) getting called back to his Okinawa hometown to attend to his sick and dying father. With Daniel (Ralph Macchio) in tow, Mr. Miyagi must deal with an old foe he thought was left in the past, while Daniel falls for a local girl and gets in his own hot water.What allows this film to continue the legacy of the original is the veering away from just copying that one, while also staying true to the series' emotional core. Miyagi and Daniel still have that great mentor/student relationship, and that bond is only strengthened by their tribulations in Okinawa. This time, the situation is real...no tournaments, no points, and all the main characters are tested accordingly.Also helping this film's cause is a sense of production stability. John G. Avildsen continues at the helm, while the quality score (by Bill Conti) adds a level of emotion beyond the characters.Thus, if you enjoyed the original Karate Kid, fear not...you'll like this one too! Great action, great characters, great music, and an engaging, emotional plot that will make you care.

Continuing the theme of right and wrong, this sequel has little to do with the first film apart from continuing the story of Daniel and Mr Miyagi, but what this sequel compared to many others does, is get it right.Abandoning the 80's culture and the don't judge a book by it's cover of the first film, this film focuses on the culture of japan, and covers it well.it is the story of once friends become enemies and later become friends , and the reason for the hatred of Mr Miyagi unlike so many films is a plausible and reasonable one.the acting is on point and the way the characters play of each-other is brilliant, and the lesson from the beginning of the film is remembered in it's climax in a very unforced way.not as good as the original, but almost as, a great sequel to watch and would have been a great end for the story of the two main characters.

Whatever you may have seen in your life or even whatever you will see in the future, I can predict that no movie will ever give you the same feeling as this. This is one of the most enjoyable romps I have seen. An excellent and difficult production, bolstered by great performances. Wonderful movie, and I should know, I practically grew up on it. I much enjoyed this film, mostly because of the convincing characters. Certainly the characterizations are shallow and quickly changeable, often for little or no reason. As social commentary I give it a nine; for story and acting a six. It's worth seeing for some inventive uses of cinema.
