I personally liked all of them, but the ones that I tended to like the best are 2 and 4.

I guess what made me like those the best was the girls. While I liked the girls the best I can't say that I did'nt enjoy the philosophy in all of them as the overall philosophy that Mr. Miyagi teaches is and always will be important as much of what Mr. Miyagi is true in real life.

I liked the first and second -- the opening parking lot scene which begins part two had actually been shot during part one and saved for a sequel. The two films had a nice symmetry to them. Miyagi sticks up for Daniel in the first one; Daniel returns the favour in the second.

KKIII was gratuitous -- in real time, it was several years after the original films, and Macchio was pushing thirty. It didn't look right. I also found the plot way over the top.

TNKK (or KKIV) with Hilary Swank was silly, I thought.

I loved the Karate Kid movies. Still do.

They are still making moral MA movies. Anyone see Redbelt?

I thought Redbelt was pretty good, maybe a bit overrated. But it definitely had a good moral message.

The first one was awesome, inspiring.
The second was marginal.
The third was crap.
The fourth was (what is less than crap?)

Though not a true MA movie, Unleashed was awesome

 

[MA-Caver]

The fourth was (what is less than crap?)

The scum that's at the corner of your mouth when you first wake up in the morning?

Loved the first one; second was pretty good; third was possibly the worst movie I've ever seen.
