	Media	Author	Review
		Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times	"[It] is not merely a disaster of the most uninspired contrivances but is actually unsuitable for youngsters, the series’ natural audience."
		Rob Beattie Empire	"Morita still charms, Macchio still tightropes between petulence and raw optimism, whilst the fight scenes are competent enough to offset the woeful romantic sub-plotting.(…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Caryn James The New York Times	"No one expects much suspense here (...) But with its sluggish script and unaging characters, ''The Karate Kid Part III'' has the rote sense of film makers trying to crank out another moneymaker."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"I have mastered all of the lessons "The Karate Kid" movies have to teach and all of the surprises they have to spring (...) Perhaps it is time, as Mr. Miyagi might say, to study something else (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
