Ong Bak 2 - The Beginning (2009)


 

"Ong Bak 2 - The Beginning" is the epic tale of one boy‘s journey into manhood and the demons he must face in order to accept the loss of his beloved family and exact revenge on those responsible. Set in feudal Thailand 600 hundred years ago we follow Tien as he evolves into one of the most dangerous warriors in the land. These events lead to some the most jaw dropping fight scenes that have ever been portrayed on screen, shot against the epic backdrop of Thailand‘s diverse and unforgettable landscape. Following the ground breaking and global success of ONG BAK, Martial arts superstar Tony Jaa brings his sensational skills to the screen once again. Due to the pressures of writing, directing and starring in ONG BAK 2 - THE BEGINNING and whilst going through the most gruelling of production schedules Jaa went native, sharing a ‘Heart of Darkness‘ experience similar to that of Francis Ford Coppola while making Apocalypse Now. The release of ONG BAK 2 - THE BEGINNING is now set to position Tony Jaa as one of the premier auteurs of the action/martial arts film genre.

4 out of 10 Very enjoyable

I have a keen interest in Thai culture and history so I enjoyed this movie a lot. The Muay Thai scenes are plentiful and very well done, they will hold the viewer's interest. I have a greater appreciation of Tony Jaa and his capabilities after viewing this movie, the boy who plays the charachter as a young boy deserves a mention as he acted superbly. I would recommend this movie to persons who have an interest in any aspect of Thai culture.

I really enjoyed this film. I loved the original Ong Bak and thought i'd give this a try even though i expected it to be of a lower standard. In fact i think it was better! The martial arts was just as good as the first movie but in this case the story was more interesting and it wasnt cheesy like the first movie. Look out for a sequel!!!

1 out of 10 Lame

Lots of action. Unfortunetly lame action. 1 man single handidly defeating hundreds of other martial artists and a lame ''Luke I am your father'' scenario mixed in as well. Good for those that don't know better. lol.
