Feeling the excitement. We are welcome to Kid's first coming attractions.
Your vid pass to the freshest kid powered opinions Today
to is practically glowing about Karate Kid Legends, saying it's
a breakout film of the year. Her passion is contagious.
Let's hear why Hi.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I'm Tia reporting for kids first, and today I'll be
reviewing the film Karate Kid Legends. Karate Kid Legends is
a fast paced, adventurous drama that I believe is one
of the breakout movies of the year. Some key highlights
are the witty humor, incredible acting, and great production values.
After his mom gets a new job in New York City,
Lee long played by Ben Wang is forced to leave

(00:51):
China and karate behind. However, once he makes it to
the Big Apple, Lee catches the eye of a local
karate champion for all the wrong reasons. With the help
of mister Han played by Jackie Chan and Daniel Russo
played by Ralph Machio, Lee enters into an ultimate karate
competition and embarks on an adventurous journey. The humor in
this movie really stands out. Physical humor and line delivery

(01:14):
from piece of shop owner Victor Lampini played by Joshua Jackson,
Lee's Matt Tudor played by Wyatola, and mister Hana played
by Jackie Chan are really entertaining to watch. I was
literally laughing out loud at some points. The acting is
particularly good, especially from Ben Wank, who gives his character
Lee death and personality. Ralph Machio and Jackie Chan both

(01:36):
reprised the roles really well. However, Stadie Stanley, who plays
Lee's friend in the film, can come off as a
bit worst at times. The production really ties his whole
film together with cool transitions, terrific graphic design elements, great
background music and sound effects, and unique camera angles that
make the viewer feel completely immersed. Ambring every fight scene

(01:57):
to life. I get a huge shout up to the design, editing,
and production team, as well as executive producers Jenny Pickey
and RALP Mochia. The film's message is when life knocks
you down, remember to always get back up. This message
is explored when Lee confronts his past and doesn't let
that affect his future. Be one that this movie does

(02:17):
include some violence and mild cursing. I give the karate
Kid legends five out of five stars and recommend it
to ages twelve to eighteen plus adult. It releases May thirtieth,
twenty twenty five.
