    The astonishingly gonzoid fight scenes from Ong Bak 2 might be the best ever filmed.

    The new film sometimes feels too snazzy in its jittery cinematography, but the stunts make it through the budget upgrade intact.

    Jaa’s period ‘beatquel’ is thick on action but thin on plot. Awesome final fight, though.

    A plot? Tony Jaa don't need no stinking plot.

    The story's convoluted and slightly stupid, but my god the actions awesome. i don't get these people saying that the 1st hours dull though, the scuffles and training scenes are great, and the bit where he hammers his childhood captors with a drunken fu style is awesome! it's not warrior king, but it wasn't meant to be, and so we can forgive it for the changes in pace and theme.… Expand

    Ok so the the plot is far from amazing but people that is not what these movies are about. This is a martial arts movie and reviewing it as such you cant give it anything less that 10. the combat is simply jaw dropping, especially when u consider that there is no CGI and no wire work. Tony Jaa is a living legend that as it stands due to disagreements over ong bak 3 is now no longer making movies.… Expand

    The story wasn't as strong as that of the first film. The addition of the magic element really made it more a of manga-style film. That's not really a good thing following one of the best blunt edge martial arts films ever made. Even so OB2 is a good action packed flick that should satisfy most martial arts film fans.… Expand

    I prefer the first movie. This one I didn't like so much, is totally different of the first one. Weak.
