While "Karate Kid: Legends" may, in itself, not exactly be the stuff of legend, it does succeed in reinvigorating the legend of this story, at least for now.

In this case, the results are resoundingly positive and perhaps even an improvement on the original given the likability and presence of the actors involved.

Though it has been years in the making, the series has produced what may be considered its finest entry with "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning."
