If you guys are longing for a gruesome sword battle action, this one's gonna be an ideal choice. Tony Jaa proudly presents his latest movie, ONG BAK 2 which he's also the director. Big names such as Prachya Pinkaew, Sorapong Chatree and Dan Chupong was also there to be seen before the movie starts. (Although I didn't even realise the presence of Dan Chupong in the movie). Sorapong Chatree appears to be a long-haired man with a long beard. Scary.
No doubt Tony Jaa is still as superb as always. His impressive Muay Thai skill is still impressive, I have to say. However, in this movie there is an enormous difference if compared to Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong. It's Krabi Krabong, introducing the Muay Thai style with the sword. (I think so). Yah, whatever it is, I have to say it's scary.
Tony Jaa never forgets about the elephants for sure. I was totally sakai seeing the part where he tamed the elephants and made 'em kneel at him. Awesome!
I guess I really don't have to mention anything about the synopsis.Besides, I guess no one's gonna read this! xD Talking about the plot instead, in my opinion it's easy to understand. At first it's a kind of scene that makes us full of suspense and eager to watch till the end. There's a lot of flashback which seems to be the 'seasoning powder' to this movie. One more thing, this is a warning: If you're a type of person who's really emotional and afraid of blood, just prepare yourself with something. I have to admit that I nearly dropped some tears.
The scene close to the ending was a lil bit shocking. I mean after the suspense, I was shocked to know the truth. Watch it yourself if you want to know. xD The way the storyline is arranged is quite interesting. I felt the 'feel' in me.
As I mentioned earlier, this movie is quite scary. 18 SG for sure. It's just swords, arrows, swords, blood throughout the movie. And a little element of 'half-human-half-leopard' (I guess so). A 5 year old kid should not watch this! He/She'll get a nightmare for sure!
Overall this movie is not so bad but not as great as Ong Bak. I still love it though. Tony Jaa did a very good job. Plus, it's not easy to make a movie set in the time of hundreds of years ago. Swords are just not my interest. It's scary. I still stick to the 'Anothai style' sword battle in Leurd Kattiya I guess! I prefer the exchange of punches and kicks as in Ong Bak!
