I get it, he didn’t want to seem like a push over. Instead of Daniel getting up and walking away, he decides to attack Johnny back. When Johnny throws the radio at Daniel and he falls down. Then, Johnny gets mad, but here’s the thing. You don’t see Johnny marching up to Daniel and beating him up until Daniel decides to insert himself into the conversation. This could’ve been avoided if Daniel and just stepped back and stayed out of their business. He takes it, Johnny takes it back and then throws it at him. When Daniel walks up to Ali and Johnny having an argument, he asks for Ali’s radio back. Daniel moves to California with his mother after she gets a new job there, he meets a few new people and ends up spending a day at the beach.Īs you can tell, it correlates to the Incident with Johnny. Instead of getting pissed at Daniel for winning, he gives the award to Daniel HIMSELF, it’s crazy because of how many people missed that. You see Johnny show a change of heart a bit. It’s just water and nothing more.īut, at the end of the movie. But, that doesn’t mean Johnny had to necessarily hurt Daniel badly. Until.Daniel decides to pour water on Johnny when he’s in the bathroom stall. Next, Johnny and the rest of his crew don’t bother Daniel anymore after a few incidents. It was just Johnny being jealous and annoyed at the fact that Ali was seemingly ready to move on. But, he doesn’t even show that he’s being violent towards Johnny. Yes, Daniel inserted his way into Ali and Johnnys conversation which is really none of his business. But, that doesn’t mean you have to resort to violence. If you saw the person you loved with someone else, you’d get pretty pissed too. Not only does Johnny harass Ali the entire time, but then he decides to take his anger out on Daniel.
But- as soon as Johnny sees Daniel flirting with Ali, things start to take a turn for the worst. Who, is, obviously over Johnny and tries her best to avoid him. In the beginning of the movie, it shows Johnny and his friends when Daniel is at the beach and stumbles upon Johnnys Ex Ali.
I'd rather watch the original, or something like Van Damme's BLOODSPORT, again.Lets start worth Johnny first, Johnny is the “Leader” of the Cobra Kai’s and obviously strides to be the best among his sansei Kreese (Who is a douchbag). The fight choreography is poor, too, with the climactic tournament scenes particularly disappointing and dealt with in a perfunctionary way. Who casts Jackie in a movie and REDUCES his fight scenes? The rest of the film is overlong and overblown, with needless romantic sub-plots that drag the running time down to a snail's pace and all the usual fish-out-of-water nonsense. I understand that a bout between Chan and screen rival Rongguang Yu was excised from the final print, which is a real shame. Sadly, though, Chan has little to do his mentor schtick is good, but he's kept in the background for too long and also limited to a single fight scene, where he beats up a gang of children hardly bathing in glory. Now, the real reason I watched this film was for Jackie Chan, and needless he doesn't disappoint with his mentor role here. Smith fails to garner a moment's sympathy for his character's plight throughout the production, appearing to be a typical spoilt rich kid instead.
It's not often I watch a film and cheer on the bad guys, but are the bullies in this film really so bad? In fact, the erstwhile lead, played by the bratty Jaden Smith, seems worse than his adversaries, deliberately provoking them and bringing himself a great deal of pain in the process. The first film was all heart this one's about attitude, and not much else besides. While it does its best with the source material, and strives to be an engaging, character-focused drama, THE KARATE KID is nothing more than a bland reworking of the original classic that misses the mark on more than one occasion.
