OJ Reviewing: The Karate Kid (1984)

Wax on the cheese!

 I sat down and watched this for the first time last night. I'd heard of it before and I've already seen the remake so I wanted to watch this expecting it to be some 80's rubbish but I was actually surprised. This movie is really good even now. The character of Daniel is great and you hate when he gets beat up and you want him to win and that makes you smile when you see Mr. Miyagi the old man beating up 4 teenagers in skeleton costumes. I like how it was done and it has some memorable scenes and good morals. So the plot was predictable and a few of the lines were a bit cheesy but its a fun movie to watch and when I see the 2010 remake again I will review that one.
