The Karate Kid Part 2 - 5 stars out of 10
There was a lot of the "Kid" but not enough "Karate" in this movie. Pat Morita was very entertaining but the story paled in comparison to the original. Karate Kid II is more focused on the Japanese culture and concept of honor than it is on Karate. I was very upset when I realized that there might be a cheesy ending in place of a big fight, but the movie surprised me and had a satisfactory ending. If you loved the original, you will enjoy the sequel but there are definitely better action and martial arts films out there. If in doubt, watch the last half hour and you will see all of the best moments in this film.
