Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior

Pros: Action Scenes, Camera Work, and Tony Jaa are an unbbeatable movie!!!

Cons: Tony Jaa's Sidekick can annoy some. Semi-Sad Ending! =(

Review: Kickboxing and beliefs collide when the head of Ong-Bak a budda Deity are stolen and held for ransom by a power hungry gangster. This is my second favorite Martial arts movie of the year next to Kung Fu Hustle. Tony Jaa the main character who has ...

Pros: The best Kung-fu and stunt choreography since Bruce Lee.

Cons: none really

The Bottom Line: Highly recommend this movie!

Cons: Boring, very little dialogue

The Bottom Line: If you like watching martial arts movies, you'll enjoy this one.

Pros: Martial arts

Cons: Acting, script, weak story, directing, annoying sidekick.

The Bottom Line: If a movie could be judged based on it's fighting, I'd give it an A-. However, the lulls in-between that bring down the movie. For fans of martial arts only.
