Top Critics Reviews

Not that girls will go see this or boys will care.

Only the reasonably-appealing performances of Morita and newcomer Swank keep it all from becoming even more of a loser.

rotten:
While the message that a girl can defend herself against the boys threatening her is a good one, it's lost in a movie where the bullies look like Mussolini's bodyguards and where Julie waits for her boyfriend and Miyagi to come to her defense.

rotten:
The overt message of any Karate Kid movie: Don't fight unless you absolutely have to. The implicit message: You'll always have to. Let the smitings begin!

rotten:
The Next Karate Kid is harmless as children's entertainment, but for 104 very long minutes, there isn't a recognizable human being in sight.
