Siskel & Ebert - The Karate Kid Part III (1989)

Siskel and Ebert reviews an American martial-arts drama film, "The Karate Kid Part III", starring Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Robyn Lively, and Thomas Ian Griffith in June 30, 1989. It is a third installment to the first two films, "The Karate Kid", and "The Karate Kid Part II". Both of them gave the movie thumbs down and found it to be rehashing of elements in the former two movies, including a tournament against Cobra Kai and a romance side-story, a surprising amount of violence, and criticized the character of Daniel LaRusso as a downer. Though, Gene liked the performance of Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver, which he thought was nearly enough to save it. But to me, to be honest, I kind of liked this movie a little bit. I actually do care about Daniel. It's not as bad as they said it was, it's just an enjoyable as a guilty pleasure. Thumbs up for me on "The Karate Kid Part III".

The Karate Kid Part III (1989) 3/4 👍
