A Karate Christmas Miracle

I genuinely would have given this movie zero stars if i could. The acting was horrid. The fight scenes were like kindergartners fighting over a toy. VERY UNBELIEVABLE. How could you spend 1.5 million and still end up with this trash. ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

This is so bad it's funny. This was made as a joke, right? Couldn't they even get someone who knew what karate was?

I don't understand how something like this can even get made. I also don't know what is more insulting, the cinematography, the transitions, the conclusion, or just the disgusting use of a tragedy for name drops in a movie.

If the budget for this was any more than the cost of SD cards for the (terrible quality) camcorders this was shot on, they wasted every penny of it. What a steaming turd.

Mostly a boring Hallmark-tier movie but what keeps it somewhat entertaining are the weird Lynchian scenes that involve how the main character's dad disappeared a year ago after a mass shooting in a movie theater committed by a guy in a clown outfit. These appear in psychic visions that portray the mastermind monologuing about how no one truly understands his grand vision, played by Eric Roberts of all people. These surreal moments come out of nowhere and are barely explained, so they're at least good for waking you up from how much of a snoozefest the rest of this film is. Every one in this can't act to save their lives , especially the main kid who might just have to worst "trying to fake a nightmare" acting I've ever seen.

If you're looking to be entertained by a "so bad it's good" movie this Christmas, you'll end up sadly disappointed in A Karate Christmas Miracle as anything that might remotely be entertaining about this premise is wasted on going through tropes that were already played out on Lifetime 10 years ago. Avoid unless you like torturing yourself.

I loved it. The majority of all movies are bad. This is truly the bottom of the barrel.

It looks like a low budget Christian film that has been reedited with weird effects for a YouTube video. I honestly cannot believe the effects were supposed to look good. I would wager that the editors knew exactly what they were doing... Maybe.

Every aspect of this movie is garbage. From the opening hobby drone shot that was considerably shaky and grainy from low light, to random cuts to very similar shots, to characters that make you want to punch a wall. (In lieu of their face.)

Bad movies are fun to laugh at, this movie is hilarious.

My new favorite Christmas movie, and a soon to be tradition of watching every year.
