Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all I wonder why the English title for this movie ended up as "Warrior King" on the DVD, when the movie is titled "Tom Yum goong" or "The Protector". But irregardless, the movie is entertaining. Do take into account that is it a very milked recipe; one man against countless scores of bad guys.Yeah, there are some similarities between "Ong Bak" and "The Protector", which were a bit weak plot-wise and in originality.The story is about Kham, a peaceful guy tending to elephants, who has to go to Sydney in order to get his two beloved elephants as they have been stolen, but the road is full of obstacles and the opposition is bountiful.As for the action, well if you are familiar with Tony Jaa then you know what you will get, and he doesn't fail to deliver. One good thing is that the audience doesn't have to watch different angles of the same scene over and over again. But aside from Tony Jaa, then there are also other great martial arts practitioners in "The Protector", including Johnny Tri Nguyen for example.The reason why I am rating "The Protector" a mere six out of ten stars is because it is lacking originality in its story. Everything else in the movie was great though.

callanvass This review is for the uncut International version Forget the plot, seriously. Who in their right mind is looking for a good plot when they decide to watch this anyway? Chances are, you've come here for the action and boy do you ever get it. I have seen tons of action movies, I guess you can call me an adrenaline junkie. I can honestly say that nobody can compare to Tony Jaa when it comes to fight scenes. You think you can define intensity? think again! When you think you've seen it all, trust me; you haven't. There is always something new when it comes to Tony Jaa. Ever seen bones being broken in rapid succession? You will in this movie. If that doesn't entice you, how about Tony Jaa literally leaping up in the air to kick a guy in the face, off a helicopter? The scariest thing is, those scenes pale in comparison to some of the other things in this movie. The warehouse fight scene and the restaurant fight scene are both incredible, but the end fights blew me away. Wait until you see Tony Jaa take on gargantuan human beings. I don't wanna spoil anymore, but let me just say the groundbreaking action won't disappoint you. I didn't mind the "Elephant kidnapping" storyline. It is obvious Tony Jaa is passionate about it, others may not feel as impassioned as Jaa does, but I felt it was beautiful at times. Tony Jaa isn't great acting wise, but he does have a good emotional scene at the end. He is riveting with his intensity, it knows bounds. He comes across like a man possessed to get back something he admires. Jaa must be privy to being tired because his conditioning is ridiculously good. He is a freak of nature and makes Jackie Chan look tame at times. Ironically enough, there is a cameo from Jackie Chan in the beginning. Sadly, it's a Jackie Chan lookalike. How's that for a dream team? Somebody should make it happen.Final Thoughts: I know I am praising the action like it is groundbreaking, but it really did blow me away with how exhilarating it was. The plot is nothing special, but with the non-stop action, you won't have time to think about that. The Protector features some of the most incredible fight scenes that have ever been filmed. If you're craving action, give Tony Jaa a call. Buckle up and hang on!9/10

richieandsam WARRIOR KINGBloody hell... this guys really doesn't hold back!This film is about a kid growing up in a family that respects elephants. He has two elephants that he loves, but when his father gets killed and the elephants stolen and deported to Australia. He goes on a mission to find them and bring them back.This is a moving story and very nice. The elephants look so nice and the relationship they have with the boy is amazing. They are very protective.The action is also very brutal. He is an amazing fighter, and when he is fighting it reminds me of a more brutal, serious Jackie Chan. He is jumping, flipping and kicking all over the place. It all looks so real too... there are scenes where I was thinking he actually was hitting the other actors... it looked so painful and realistic. There is also a fantastic fighting scene which was all shot from one camera and didn't cut away... it was a long scene and the fighting was amazing... it was very well put together.There is also another scene that I loved where so many people got their legs and arms broken. It was just snap snap snap... It made me cringe a bit, but it was just a great scene.The acting was alright... Tony Jaa plays the main character. He does a great job. You can see the emotion in his role towards these elephants.There were a couple of funny moments in the film. I quite like the fact that this film had a few different elements in it. Comedy, action, drama and thriller.The film is mostly spoken in Thai, so if you don't like movies with subtitles, then you won't really enjoy this. Subtitles never really bothered me. In fact some of my favourite movies are Japanese horrors.I will give this film 7 out of 10.Very entertaining and a lot of ass kicking! The other actors must have woken up either very sore or in hospital the day after shooting this movie.For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

SloMoPro He wants his elephant back, and I want my 2 hours back. This movie sucked. Quentin... buddy... what happened??? I'm sure you watched this trash before you said go ahead and use my name, so why... just, why??? The only thing good that I came away from this was: It is a martial arts movie and it had martial arts in it. Everything else that happens between fight scenes is tragic. I hope, for Tony Jaa's sake, that somebody will provide him with a script and offer that will be fleshed out properly. He seems like a good kid. The director of this... this, cannot possibly be in his right mind. Neither can the editor, producer, etc...
