This movie is a very good movie. I watched this sometime ago probably 7-8 years ago. And I just watched it again couple days back. And after I watched it again couple days back, I was like "This really is a good movie". To be just a average movie, nothing big class, its a very good movie. Actually, better than a lot of higher class movies.

This movie is about a kid with some good Martail Arts movies, and I do mean some good ones. Its just like a Karate Kid all over again, but with less training and more action. I really injoyed this movie. Was my 1st movies watching T. J. Roberts in action, and I really liked this upcoming Martial Arts star. But now in 2005, he has done nothing for a long time. And he was a very good star at that, just hated to see him disappear just as quick as he appeared. Would have been a awesome Martail Arts star to this day. He is one hell of a good martail arts kid. Love this movie, and all of his 4 other movies.

Why oh why didn't this kid become the next big martial arts movie star? It's beyond me, but he clearly SHOULD have. I watched Magic Kid for the first time in 1999 and I absolutely loved it's simply themed premise and lighthearted plot. It was perfect for what it was: a movie about a kid who happens to be a black belt fighter with moves to baffle everyone around him. Though this movie doesn't show his true talent to the degree that A Dangerous Place does, it is a movie with a lot of heart and just-sit-with-the-kids-on-a-saturday-afternoon-and-enjoy a better-movie-than-the-traditional-kids-section-fodder kind of mentality to it. If you want an intricate story, look elsewhere, but if you want to see a boy with some true talent in a movie that doesn't insult kids' intelligence, see Magic Kid. 3.75 stars

I got this movie for a boy's birthday and they just run on and on about it. They loved it. I doubt if I would but I'm old.
