      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There is not a single scene in this movie that I found amusing, original or interesting. What we really have here is a documentary of the actors wasting their lives. Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a watchable yet entirely forgettable drama... Rated: 2/4 Oct 30, 2021 Full Review JK Sooja Common Sense Media Perhaps in attempts to capitalize on the success of the original Karate Kid movie series (1984-89), this unfortunate movie was green lit. But nothing about Best of the Best is accurate or good. Rated: 1/5 Jul 30, 2021 Full Review Michael A. Smith Nolan's Pop Culture Review I LOVE this movie. Bad sequels take away from the original. Rated: 4/5 Jan 8, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 1/5 Nov 5, 2004 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Surprisingly not-awful cable-flick action-fest!

      Taha S Entertaining start to end. Classic Martial Arts movie to watch post midnight. The ending is great. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Damon R Amazing movie. The critics dont like the macho, masculine elements of this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Steve D As generic as its name. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Depois de uma década de vários filmes de ação, lutas, ninjas, tiros, bombas, guerra, fechamos com chave de ouro. Tivemos "O Grande Dragão Branco", "Kingboxer", "Karate Kid", "Rock",..... Entre muitos outros. Este filme é estrelado pelo irmão da atriz Julia Roberts, o Eric. Uma simples, em um campeonato mundial de Karate, sendo que competição são contra Sul coreanos que a luta Taekwondo. Mas como teve o filme Karate kid do Jackie Chan que era Kung-Fu. Deixando isto de lado, a equipe Coreana já é Campeã a anos. E agora EUA forma uma equipe para enfrenta-los. Onde o líder Phillip teve seu irmão assassinados por Simon em torneios anteriores. E agora ele terá que enfrentar seus demônios para esta batalha. A equipe atravessa vários desafios onde a formação é desfeita, feita, desfeita e feita. Até chegar o dia da luta. E os confrontos do Eric memoráveis, mas o melhor estava reservado para Phillip e Simon. Uma luta onde tudo acontece, até a superação de Phillip e na hora do golpe fatal que ele pode se vingar, Oque acontecerá? E ao final a emoção toma quando a vitória dos sul-coreanos, mas Simon vai até Phillip pedindo perdão e que o aceitasse como seu irmão, a cena é tão forte que você não segura as emoções e todos os outros atletas o imitam entregando a medalha. Fortes emoções. Roteiro e enredo simples, mas emocionante. Vale apena assistir? Sim, para quem gosta de ver filmes antigos. Nota: 8 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Always liked this movie from my childhood. Good ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/22 Full Review Audience Member This action drama is one of my favorites and I still tear up at the end, even after seeing it nearly 100 times. The sequel does a good job of keeping the storyline between the characters. The 3rd and 4th installments are okay, but fail to maintain the magic the first two have. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
