Those are not my direct quotes. For the record, I love traditional Thai dancing. Wait what?

_Christopher_M · 8 months ago

you have to admit Cole that the fighting was beyond great....sure the Thai dancing went on a little too long but the final fight scenes were worth the wait...I just kept hoping that Elephant wasn't going to get hurt rather than the stunt people..lol

I just finished watching it and wow! it's amazing...considering I didn't enjoy the first one the second film was a big improvement..this one was a lot more entertaining and had a decent story....I can't wait for Ong Bak 3...

Dude, this movie's gotta be 3 or 4 years old. I remember seeing this back in high school.

_Christopher_M · 8 months ago

you're thinking of the Protector (2005)...this one has nothing to do with the previous two movies...besides Tony Jaa...it was just released in Thailand not too long ago...

"Slomosexual" is now a word. Though I would think a slomosexual really loves slo-mo. Also, +1 for calling detractors cock holsters. -1 for making me remember "The Octagon." In my sleep I'm still haunted by technicolor dreams and the chanting of the word "niiiinjjjaaaa." That and Circle of Iron almost made me want to never watch a martial arts movie again.

this film sucks monkeyballs. most of the action scenes were so unnecessary. and it was like so stupid that he would win a group fight and then another group would appear. why not appear all at once and save us all the torture of back and forth fighting? and thai dancing has nothing to do with anything. but do we really need another film of plain old revenge. the plot twist comes off as i knew the butler did it. bah! the ending was made worse by having a "to be continued". like seriously. who would wanna pay to endure another 1 and half hours of senseless fighting. okay, there might be some. but still, there are better films that have a better story with better action scenes. the film is a huge stinker to not only me, but also to everyone else who i know. Cole Abiaus is now my film main man. and the A is totally over rated.

Yeah, you're probably right Cole.

Yeah, it has an incredibly unsatisfying ending. I didn't really know the movie was actually over. Great action but you can get similar stuff in better films, I think. I much prefer CHOCOLATE to ONG BAK 2 despite the story to CHOCOLATE also being almost unbareable.

This movie is Extraodinary...and this review is point on! great review...i have read other horrible reviews...and boshit complaints about this movie...I just watched this movie with my sister today..and my eyes were glued to the TV....every fighting scene is this movie took my breath away...I keep thinking it was a Jet Li or Jackie Chan movie but with more explosive action. no strings attached....and also add Bruce Lee in there too. I never knew how amazing Tony Jaa was at other fighting styles. The fighting scenes look so convincing. This movie made me wanna do some kung-fu. And from other films I watched of Tony, He only did muay thai, its refreshing to see him show off other skills to martial arts fans out there that he is and all around fighter.....one word Amazing! most fighting movies are smashed with boring fighting styles that are used repetively and supported by camera angles to make them look brilliant...this film is in-your-face and does not slow your heart rate at all....once the fighting scenes start..its like sex....you just cant get enough..probably now on my top 3 favorite fighting movies. who cares about storylines , this is a fighting movie not The Last Samurai . I even thought the storyline was not bad..pretty sad actually. Tony also shows some crazy weapon skills that even real samurais dream about doing...so go watch the movie and trust me...you'll understand.

Just an FYI about the crow-fighter in the third act. It's a man, not a woman. The fighter is played by Panna Rittikrai regular, Dan Chupong who got a lead role in the outrageous 90 minute whoop-ass festival, Born To Fight. He's also in Dynamite Warrior.

Yeah, this review is more than a bit much.

It's the best martial arts film from last year, and the best one that Thailand's Rittikra/Jaa/Pinkaew/Sahongmakol stable. But greatest martial arts movie ever? Really? How many martial arts films have you even watched?

Anyways, still a great martial arts flick. And at least this review isn't as effusive as Harry Knowles' which is outright embarrassing.

Rob_Hunter · 8 months ago

hey j... yeah i was being intentionally over the top and hyperbolic to keep in the spirit of the movie itself. and to answer your question, i've seen three martial arts films. (teenage mutant ninja turtles counts right?)

Like most of you out there..I would agree that the whole story/plot was BS..However, with that said..I would also like to add this " I LOVED THE MOVIE" ...coz I love action films...N Tony Jaa ..I could hardly take my eyes my eyes off the screen when he was fighting. The movie has so many fighting styles, it makes me want to forget JetLi and JackieChan. I've never seen anything like this type of action.. I would totally agree with "Noah Saychareun" over what he said..Spot On! ...For those of you who love pure action..THIS IS A CLASSIC ...A DON'T MISS..CANT MISS..SHOULD NOT MISS! GRADE "A" MOVIE. NO QUESTION!
