Review of Ong Bak 3 (2010) by Charles S — 14 Nov 2010

This is the final showdown of the epic Ong Bak saga and the final film of Thai superstar Tony Jaa since he retired. How disappointed because I loved his martial arts films, these were amazing and awesome Jaa ever made in his own action sequences.

The storyline in this third installment was almost non-existent, and whatever story was being told there was told in a really confusing and weird way, so it was difficult to make any sense of the movie.

The action and fight scenes were top of the line, as always with Jaa movies. And there is something very dynamic and energetic to his movements and fighting style.

As for the acting? Well, not much of that actually going on here, to be honest. It is mostly just showing off Tony Jaa and have these really cool images of ancient Thai traditions shown off on the movie. Honestly, I liked seeing those cultural scenes, but again, not really something that can carry a movie.

I think Ong Bak 3 is pretty much as weak than the second part, except the story in this one is more confusing.
