Ong Bak 2 Review

[CHERRYGARCIA]

Saw this over the weekend and liked it..saw the first Ong Bak when it first came out, but I don't remember too much about it, so I can't say if part II was better..I will say the action/fighting scenes are damn good, and can rival any fight scenes in a big budget hollywood flick

I didn't mean all of his movies. Sure, DTG and Flashpoint wasn't great movies but they were good for what they are, an over-the-top comics-style fighting(DTG) and realistic MMA-style(FP). At least those movie's stories made sense and wasn't a jumbo mess like Ong Bak 2 was. Besides, who hasn't been in a few sup-par movies? I know Jackie Chan and Jet Li has. As for Tony Jaa, his last 2 movie was good but only because of the fight scenes. However the stories and his acting was mediocre in those movies. Besides, Donnie Yen hasn't done many new movies. He's just starting to become bigger in Hong Kong nowaday. All I got to say is Donnie Ip's Ip Man, SPL, and Iron Monkey are great movies with great fighting. And he will be in many more great upcoming movies like Ip Man 2 and Bodyguards and Assassins. The guy just has talent and style in the fighting department.

I just purchased Ong Bak 2 on Blu-Ray, and it isn't playing on my Samsung Blu-Ray player. My player displays that my firmware is up to date. Any suggestions?

I noticed that Wal-Mart has a good price on this ($14.86), so I think I will pick it up today. I like Jaa's action.

Part one is a must own. Part 2 is a good rent. Tom Yung Goong(The Protector) is good too.

From what I've read Samsung is notorious for not releasing their firmware updates right away. I would check again in a day or two...or three!

Only that wasn't Jackie. Just a look alike. I've read about this awhile back before the movie even came out in America. And its confirmed once again in the commentary, I believe. As for the scene itself, yes, it was to give audience the impression of a Jackie cameo. And apparently, it worked, for some.

But no, sadly that isn't Jackie.

Who else thought it was sad when

[Show spoiler]Tien (Jaa) slashed his stepfather's throat at the end
