Critic Reviews of "The Karate Kid (1984)"
TIME MagazineAugust 01, 2008This film's art consists entirely of hiding the cynicism of its calculations under an agreeably modest and disarming manner.
VarietyMarch 21, 2007Morita is simply terrific, bringing the appropriate authority and wisdom to the part.
Time OutJune 24, 2006A surprise summer hit in the States, this is another film-making-by-numbers exercise in teenage wish-fulfilment.
Chicago Sun-TimesOctober 23, 2004An exciting, sweet-tempered, heart-warming story with one of the most interesting friendships in a long time.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The Karate Kid exhibits warmth and friendly, predictable humor, its greatest assets.
Radio TimesJuly 30, 2013Macchio rises above the trite script to deliver a sympathetic and believable performance. Morita is equally good value and look out, too, for Elisabeth Shue in an early role.
EmanuelLevy.ComApril 05, 2011Upbeat, sentimental and predictable tale, but the acting of Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita (who was Oscar-nominated) is good and their friendship charming.
Bangitout.comJune 12, 2010Avildsen crafted an inspired movie with the perfect mix of 80's bravado and 70's artistic integrity.
Groucho ReviewsMay 27, 2010The Karate Kid brought something fresh to the table and proved exceptionally skilled at reaching its adolescent audience. [Blu-ray]
