I just finished watching the movie, I preferer the first one way more but that doesn't mean that this isn't entertaining.

As much the first one had twist, turns, secrets,...etc, I wished this one had it. Don't get me wrong I just wanted more of it here, I wanted more chaotic from Lively's character specially that we had in the first one. She still have amazing and surprising and specially crazy moments in here but I predicted it a bit before it happened. And her wear drop still as amazing and crazy as it gets. As for Anna's Stephanie she had a good great moments, I would say there's one scene in particular that I'm sure she enjoyed it. They improved her character styling which I love because it's very suiting for her in her when we sees where she'd in her life now. There's characters from the first movie returns but unfortunately we don't see much of them as I expected.

Locations are breath taking, costumes didn't disappoint at all and over the top cinematic of the movie is very fitting with the tone of it. I can see people may not enjoy it as the first one but it's not that bad. I was surprised that it's 2 hours and 7 minutes. I would recommend it but not to expect much of it .

SPOILERS: the first turn of events was which one of Emily's husband's dies. Sean's dying was something I didn't see coming at all specially that early in the movie and was a good misdirect for the audience. They kept hinting that he might kills Emily's new husbanded specially with his attitude and I'm sure Henry Golding enjoyed playing that.

Then there's a good development of events to the point Stephanie got arrested and we see the first glimpse of Charity, I thought her reaction was really wired when she was asking Stephanie "are you sure? Are you sure?" after the murdering happened. And her showing up in that stunning black lace dress like a true widow was everything, I was laughing of how over the top it is and in the end it all makes sense. But it felt weird for Stephanie saying "I know who you are" instead of just saying it. She would've immediately saying that that's not Emily.

Then at that point the movie started to lose me when it shouldn't specially on that point and when they kidnaped Stephanie, that's the scene that I'm sure Anna had fun playing. Then the surprise of Emily being alive, Tells about her aunt and Charity and how wired and a bit psychotics she is due to trauma. And the build up in the cliff wasn't as great like the first one at Emily's home. But man how it's unsettling Charity is, which Lively had THE fun playing it.

The movie ended up on a note of Emily staying out there with the mother in-low, setting up for a next movie or just open? Specially telling her that "she's s part of the family now" with a simple favor 😉, and that's not a good family to be a part of. And he son!! I really wanted more of him. She did a lot of things to him yet his character felt flat like Stephanie's son too (which they try to set up thing with him but didn't work out). Over all I don't know how I feel about the movie exactly other than I just wanted more unhinged version of everyone. I would recommend it but not to expect much of it.

(When u rate something rate it for things more than the acting).

First of all, that's a bad poster to capture the movie, maybe a poster like used to be in '00 and '90 would've been better, specially with movie's story, it's so from that time with a modern take on it.

The acting, Kushi's acting we all know about it from her debut, so watching this movie I wanted to see how she evolved. Bless her she really tries, and there is a slightly improvement in the emotional scenes, but yet to improve her self in the expressions, you can see her tries too hard. Maybe she watch more movies to learn, take acting classes and practice more and more. I can say this is way better than her first movie but she still needs to improve more. And her best scene in my opinion was during the climax at the school library, she nailed it.

Now the debutant Ibrahim, looking at him he's the same image of he's father that it's unbelievable, wish his acting the same. For a debut performance wasn't that bad, I saw way worse. He's charming, can dance and he's better when he's in a scene with good actors and actresses. He really needs to work in his emotional scenes a little bit, if he really work on him self he can make it as long he want it.

The other younger casts weren't that bad and they didn't have much to work with either. The older casts are amazing as they usual and for me Suniel Shetty stole the movie, it's been long time for me since I saw him in something.

The story it self, honestly I was intrigued for it when I saw Ishita Moitra, she's someone I usually enjoying watching of her writing (she wrote my favorite hindi drama Bepannah (2018) and couple of good movies ), I don't know what was going with her here and the other writers too, sometimes good and works, sometimes cheesy and corny with unnecessary and in ur face references especially about Ibrahim (saying that he's not a nawab, he looks like his gather and so on), so basically his character was written for him . And there's some things that didn't have a closer specially for the parents. Also too many dialoges in English, so unnecessary.

The soundtrack not bad, my favorite was "tere ishq main", really good track. Custom designer ate with Kushi's, I wanted everyone of her wardrobe . One last thing, when will they know that such schools doesn't exist really! I don't like in India but I doubt if such schools are real, even for rich kids. And the movie was way too long.

Would I recommend it? Not to anyone. It's a guilt pleaser movie, have some fun, enjoy the songs, a reminded me of Hollywood movie from 20-25 years ago.

In general it's a good show. Is it the best thing? No. Is it the worse? Also No.

All the reviews saying that the show started to go downhill and I can see that, but it stills a good and enjoyable show in the end. To continue a story ended more than 30 years is not an easy way, it could've been way worse.

Would I recommend it? That depends on the person but I'll say "you will still have some fun". It have a decent acting, great stuns coordination, camera work was good here and there. It's a show about Karate in general, so it's obvious what would've been out of it.

Before talking about season 6, people really needs to stop criticizing Mary Mouser who plays Sam, that's how her character. Yes she's not the best actress on the shows but when the scene needed her she tries her best and it's shown. And I saw a little reviews about her physicality, that a girl in her shape can't be that good or tough at Karate or sports in general and that's wrong. I'm the same as her, good in sports, and it's good to show that not every skinny, tall person (or specially girls) are the only one who good at it, they had Aisha but that character ended for some reason. So hopefully people stop now that the show ended.

Now season 6, episode 10 ended on a BIG cliffhanger and oh boy, was that a little waste. Chaos, big fight sequences and a death, all that just to waste it to a month later! I don't know how it could've went but I'm sure there's other ways. These last 5 episodes felt that there's some unnecessary scenes, wired shots here and there, bizarre one liners but tried to not look to much into it. But what can look into it it's how they gave Terry a disease out of no where then kill him and Kreese and no one mention it later, I was waiting for them to address it or at lease some way for Jonny to know that he "made peace" with Kreese now but NO, no mention. They tried to put Chozen with Kim, didn't know that was her name but I guess good for them?

And Anthony! I totally forgot that he excised to be honest. And I start to see it coming that they will end it with Cobra Kai winning, all of this started there, a little cheesy but didn't mind it. Good ending for the characters in general and as in every end hopefully to see them again.

One last thing, It's good to see how these kind of shows that have new comers who we see them grow up from the first season and to better actors and actresses and hopefully to see much of them in the future and now that the show ended. I'm here to see what they will bring, I think Xolo is with DC, Tanner here and there with movies, Payton also in TV and now hopefully the others, can't wait!
