The action sequences are a joy to watch with flashes of colour, blood, fantasy and legend fused with various forms of combat, this film really does put some major Hollywood action films to shame.Įveryone and everything looks highly realistic from sets, hair styles and costumes to weapons and the beautiful locations in native Thailand. The various forms of martial arts on display whilst a young Jaa trains and throughout the film is superb, a real MMA film straight out of the wild East. So again the plot is very basic and revolves around revenge as usual, the film also tends to show Jaa doing his thing all over again accept this time set in ancient times and this time it looks even better. This film is set in feudal Siam with a young boy (Jaa) being raised by a group of elite warrior bandits after his parents have been killed and he was captured by slave traders. Lets just get this straight, this sequel has nothing to do with the original film a tall but its just as good if not a little better than the original film. What can I say about this sequel, its actually very good surprisingly, nice idea and well made. If you're going still planning on watching this, just skip to the action scenes as there the only watchable part of this movie. Ong Bak 2 is a sequel that suffers from a poorly written with great fight scenes that makes enduring the story aspect bearable. Now this movie wasn't entirely bad, I mean the cinematography was great (especially whenever you see a Elephant), the crew make good use of most of the location for action sequences, and the mindless violence though not as good as the original is still entertaining. The good part about the final fight scene in this movie it that it's about twelve minutes at best with Tony Jaa taking allot of pain, with no dialogue which makes the fight scene fast pace and pleasing to watch. Now the choreography in the first Ong Bak is some of the most spectacular i've seen in any Martial Art movie and it was a letdown that the only really good action sequence is at the end of the movie. The movie also does a terrible job for making you care about any of the characters and there boring, it makes you wish they cut out the story parts of the movie and left in the violence, would have been better. The only good part about the story is that it gives you a reason to root for the good-guys, though it just your typical motives and doesn't give you interesting villains. There's no good character development for our hero or any of the main characters. Yup, that's all I remember from the movie story-line. This all I got from the story from Ong Bak 2, a young Thai boxer learns the skills and inner meaning of martial arts. Now to be fair, it could have been better than the first one, but it suffers from poor story-telling.
It been a while since I reviewed a Martial Art film so I decided to watch Ong Bak 2 since i'm a big fan of the original movie.
