‘Karate Kid: Legends’ Review: Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio Return for a Sequel Old-Fashioned Enough to Be Likable Retro Corn
The key thing to know about “Karate Kid: Legends” is that from the moment Li arrives in New York, where his single mother, a doctor (Ming-Na Wen), has chosen to move them after the tragic death of Li’s kung-fu-champion brother, the film dunks us down in a storyline so simple, so unironic, so cheesy-sincere, so analog that you may feel it transporting you back to the “innocence” of the ’80s.
