Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Steven Rodrigues It seems like this was a forced excuse for a sequel of The Protector. Fight scenes look so artificial that viewers and fans of Tony Jaa will be seriously pulling their hair out watching them! None of the characters are strong enough or able to carry on they're own. There are occasional gems of fight scenes that disappear in a flash.Twenty as the sexy fighter vixen tries to bring in the eye candy since the script is actually seemingly lacking enough content to hold the eyeballs. Mum Jokmok brings about the only known face feel good effect to the movie but is sadly hardly there in it. The elephant by the way is also the other star that is rarely seen except in a few places so animal lovers can't get much from this one. The mix of two tiny sisters,a sexy fighter vixen, a black bad guy and a tired-looking hero is a total mix of senseless storytelling. Not worth the watch unless you have absolutely nothing else to opt for!

Max Renn Tony Jaa pinged on our radars in 2003 in the Thai film Ong Bak that subsequently made him a worldwide name, of course not on the level of say George Clooney but he is one of Thai films major exports. This isn't surprising despite the fact that his films aren't known for their big story lines but more for the exceptional martial arts scenes. It did take 10 years but he's slowly coming up to the entrance of world stardom cause as of right now he is in Fast and the Furious 7 and Raid 3, but he didn't spend the last 10 years twiddling his thumbs. He was in a few sequels to his previous films with varying results. There are 3 Ong Baks and he was in Bodyguard and the first Protector. This second part was filmed last year and will be released now in preparation for his international carrier. Let's talk about the films story. Kham leaving behind his troubles finds himself on an elephant farm in Thailand. Everything is set for his soul to find peace. Strangers arrive and want to take one of the elephants who is Kham's friend… Kham of course doesn't want to let the elephant go so they steal it. Kham goes after the mysterious terrorists, but when he finds the bad guys he realizes that he is too late and someone has beaten the elephant to death. In the eyes of the mafia and the police he is the prime suspect but no one can find the elephant. We don't have to wait too long for RZA and a mysterious fighter to make their appearance who are really responsible for all the goings on. First of Tony Jaa's action films follow one style and he doesn't really want to stray from that. This is a classic Asian action film style. During most of the film the story fades into the background. Though it must be said that this silly story is even more frivolous than the usual stories in Asian films. Of course we all love elephants but for someone to kill for them or be coerced into crime to get them back is strange. Though I do know that in Thailand they relate differently to animals, but for it to be the main story of the whole film? And the weird female assassin twins felt out of place to me too, there whole appearance in the film is just pointless. So I think I can say that the whole story is below average. Usually in Asian films the acting style is exaggerated which takes some getting used to. This film was definitely made with an international market in mind, so Tony Jaa and most of the actors style is more digestible for westerners. This wouldn't be a bad thing if there weren't a bunch of people in the film who are incapable of this, so the film ends up emphasizing the difference in styles making it more noticeable. These mistakes are that important but they are distracting from the point the action that is perfectly choreographed and looks really good. Tony Jaa really is a very special fighter and he can show these really well on camera. If you like these types of films you won't be disappointed. Maybe just with the CGI in the few scenes where they use it might have been better to not bother with it, though I have to say it didn't really bother me that much. The director is okay, the script is a little hard to take, the cinematography and the music is good. In conclusion I think this is one of Tony Jaa's weakest films, though the film is weak in things that were never really the strong suit of any on his films, but he is good. So I give it a 4/10.

livinhiphopanonymous Great movie 10 out of 10 because I wouldn't want to get hit with a spinning kick, but I'd pay to see it. Wow though, just wow.. to me, the critics just sniffed a 2 year old full loaf of moldy bread and took a soccer kick to the groin 5 seconds later, laughing while they did it. Smart strong hearted people can ignore certain things, but the less informed tend to get kicked in the face. rza and tony jaa are no doubt gifted in the martial arts category, basically a bad fight choreographer makes a bad movie, not graphics or impossible odds. i've seen all of tony jaa's movies more then 10 times, i listen to Wu-tang clan, a lot, i don't know man, I liked this movie as it should be the the worlds greatest action film. You're cheering for the rapist if you think this movie is bad.

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.
