That Mr Miyagi guy is really something. He is my fav character and this one is about him and his awesomeness. And just for that this is a worthy follow up to the first one. You get to know about Miyagi's Past and you also get a nice continuation of the story.
The location is exotic.The characters are beloved.But that is kind of where it ends. It is beautiful and has a nice appeal because of the backdrop and the characters but...The story you sort of fall asleep in the middle of, the mind starts to wander and all real focus is lost. Something about Rocking Around the Clock and Fighting for your Honor and....yeah...I give up.It is miles above the third one and the main characters can both act...the director can direct...the problem is that the writers can't write.
Continuing the theme of right and wrong, this sequel has little to do with the first film apart from continuing the story of Daniel and Mr Miyagi, but what this sequel compared to many others does, is get it right.Abandoning the 80's culture and the don't judge a book by it's cover of the first film, this film focuses on the culture of japan, and covers it well.it is the story of once friends become enemies and later become friends , and the reason for the hatred of Mr Miyagi unlike so many films is a plausible and reasonable one.the acting is on point and the way the characters play of each-other is brilliant, and the lesson from the beginning of the film is remembered in it's climax in a very unforced way.not as good as the original, but almost as, a great sequel to watch and would have been a great end for the story of the two main characters.
This was still a pretty good movie I personally thought the story line was not as good as the first one. Also all the stuff in Japan was cheesy exspecially the acting. The main cast did a job who but all the new introductions were pretty bad. Worth seeing though because it does continue the story line so if you liked the first one as much as I did you will probably want to see what happens next.This movie is about Danielle as he goes to Okinawa with Mr Myagi to accompany him to see his dieing father. Soon after going there Myagi finds a love interest and Danielle gets challenged to another karate match.This movie was pretty good just not as good as the first. Though its always enjoyable seeing Mr Myagi.
