RabbitohRager *CAN CONTAIN SPOILERS* This is a real mixed bag, but overall good movie in my opinion. After reading so many bad reviews i disagree to the spammed "the movies a waste of time". It's completely untrue. The movies story line is actually decent! Quite a few smart plot twists and even though it was "go save the lost elephant" again, i thought it still did well and kept me pretty interested. There are some damn awesome fight scenes throughout, especially against the 002 fighter and i thought the final fight was awesome! However... yes... CGI= Face palm. The CGI i must say is utterly awful full stop. The bad effects really stick out like a sore thumb and are completely unnecessary. Real cringe moments due to the clearly fake and awful CGI are really notorious in the rooftop motorbike scene,the scene where the walls are alight with flames, and the phony star wars copy with the sparks on the railway. Disappointingly, basically as soon as CGI is used in this film, it really lowers the quality. End note, definitely not too bad a movie at all, with some really good fight scenes and a solid story line, just one cannot ever disregard the dreaded CGI use. Not on par with Ongbak 1 and 2 or Tom yum goong 1, but definitely better than Ong Bak 3. If you liked tom yum goong 1 then i would definitely say its worth checking this movie out.
timmsy1986 oh my god how bad was this, all the moves and set ups were so slow and obvious, everything was just really bad, the acting the script the characters and jaa seriously like all your moves just became boring as you just elbowed people in the head constantly its not a great move its boring to watch, jump elbow in the head. Jump on a dirt book, elbow him in the head, run at people slide through their legs turn them around slowly and then just hits them in the top of the head...oh my god what a waste of nearly 2 hours :( so bad you better be putting some effort into fast and furious 7 you really do...if you want to see action this is not the film that you want to go and see, it is rubbish, the big scenes with the main fighters I thought OK this could be the big fight scenes I want to see, and no they were also rubbish, at one point they use star wars lightsaber sounds when they kick each other its like what the hell.I can actually say this is the worst martial arts film ever made...
Charles Goodwin (charliegeeza) There are few redeeming qualities to this film. The action sequences are a pale imitation of the crisp and fluid scenes we have come to expect since Ong Bak and the original Tom Yum Goong. Some of it verges on slap stick and the spectacular stunts we associate with Tony Jaa are replaced by B-movie special effects.This is compounded by a script/story that barely makes sense. Events just occur randomly - the entire bike fight for one - whilst the bad guys are pathetic caricatures. RZA's street pimp style performance is just plain ridiculous.There are only 2 things of any value in this film. The occasional witty interjection by Mark (Petchtai Wongkamlao) with his funny one liners and the beauty of Yayaying Rhatha Phongam. Beyond that, even the most die hard Tony Jaa fan will find it very tough to sit through this one.With an ever increasing global library of action films from which to select, this one should be considered scraping the bottom of the barrel. You are better off watching or re-watching almost anything else - especially one of Tony Jaa's other films. Tom Yum Goong 2 makes Ong Bak 3 look like a master piece by comparison.
bbickley13-921-58664 Could not wait to see this flick once I heard it was coming out. Tony Jaa was the next big thing when I saw the Protector, but he lost momentum somewhere around Ong Bak 2or Ong Bak 3, so I was real excited about it especially with the delay of Fast 7 which I heard he was in.This movie attempts to put Jaa on the next level, but I got to be honest, I'm not sure if I'm ready for Jaa on the next level. The movie goes beyond the intense martial arts fighting we know Jaa to do, by adding in some amazing action scenes that fall short slightly because it's not Jaa doing what he does best.No one can be Jackie Chan and Tony Jaa knows this, which is why the action sequence with Jaa battling an army of motorcycles has Tony using both a stunt double and green screen. It was a great attempt to exploit how cheap visual effects have gotten over the years, and Tony Jaa's attempt to grow as an action star, but I did not come to see Jaa grow.Lucky for me Jaa did not forget what the kids came to see. Tony Jaa had a few amazing fight scenes in the movie beginning with two young Thai girls who are not on Jaa's level but it's always cool to see the chicks get into the battle.There was a dude in the film who looked like a younger sexier Billy Blanks who gave the Jaa man a real run for his money in no less than two rounds of kung fu fighting.But the best fight scene in the movie was Tony Jaa… Versus the RZA. It was a good fight because they made RZA look good. It seemed like he did a lot of the fighting himself, and believe me I was looking for the stunt man. I totally believed that the Wu Tang master could take Jaa.The movie does not have much of a story, in fact it rips of the first movie pretty well, Jaa needs to keep a closer eye on his Elephant, but we go to see the fighting skills which Jaa brings, despite the large amount of wire work and visual effects used that kind of weaken it, but it's worth the watch.
