Movie Reviews of Ong-Bak - The Thai Warrior
Movie Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me preface my review by saying that you don't watch Ong-Bak to see great acting or a compelling sotryline. You watch for one thing: Tony Jaa. This movie has the most ridiculous stunts and fight scenes that I have ever seen. I keep hearing about Jet Li and how awesome he is, but I would never know because all of his movies (the ones made in America anyhow) are so full of computer generated effects that it's not clear what he's doing or what is a special effect. This movie has none of that. No CGI, no wires, no stunt doubles even! Everything you see here was done by the actors without aid of computers or other tricks of the trade. And that's what makes this movie all the more impressive. When you see the stuff this guy does you will be blown away. This is definitely one of the best action movies I have ever seen!Movie Review: Who was that guy?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never heard of this guy before, Tony Jaa,
but he is the best martial artist I've seen on
the screen in a long time. He is obviously
a well trained expert and his abilities are on
glowing display in an otherwise forgettable movie.
The plot takes a distant backseat to Tony's
expert martial art abilities, but who cares?
I honestly didn't think I'd make it through the
first 10 minutes, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
Tony is incredible and amazing in his craft.
Although there's not a single person in this film (Tony
included) who wouldn't benefit from an acting
lesson or two, the emphasis is placed upon Tony's
superior fighting skills, and he delivers with a killer punch.
Don't miss this film!!
Movie Review: Unbelievably Cool Martial Arts, Insane Stunts!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is unbelievably cool. All the stunts are the real deal, and Tony Jaa does some crazy stunts! In any other movie, showing instant replays of the same stunt three or four times in a row would be really cheesy. But for some reason when Ong-Bak does it, every replay manages to be cooler than the last. And the pacing is good, too; the action builds over the course of the movie, with quite the finale. Definitely a good movie to watch with a bunch of guys and a pizza. The acting, of course, is mediocre. But its not intolerably so. In fact, for a foreign film, its surprisingly good. Asian films are notorious for their melodramatic acting. Anyway, you dont watch this movie for the acting. You watch it to see Tony Jaa kick some butt using a martial arts style like nothing youve ever seen.Movie Review: Ong Bak The Thai Warrior

Ong-Bak - The Thai Warrior
I am a HUGE martial arts fan. My knowledge base goes back to Bruce Lee all the way to Tony Jaa??
Tony Jaa is new in my database. I saw a preview of a film and said "huh let's give this TONY JAA a look. Well I am here to tell I am thoroughly impressed by what I saw of this Tony Jaa. He's agile and swift; and has kick ass moves. He is definitely not Jackie Chan nor a Chow Yun Fat. This kid comes out with the lightening moves of Muay Thai and defy defining leaps. He has Jackie's need for thrill and stunts and Chow Yun Fat's need for steadiness. BUT... this kid is the new invention of martial arts.
Movie Review: Best Action Movie I've Ever Seen!
Summary: 5 Stars
Simply put, this movie has the most impressive martial arts that I have ever seen. Done without any wires or CGI, the action in Ong Bak makes up for any deficiencies in the plot or acting, something I had thought impossible in a movie until recently. Tony Jaa's stunts and general physical abilities are simply beyond beleif. Watching Jaa jump over cars, run atop his enemy's heads and doing double front flips off obstacles many feet high, the reality of the film is just so much more impressive than big action movies currently replacing their actors with virtual ones. Granted, the Matrix is one of my favorite movies, but the action scenes just don't compare with those in Ong Bak . If you like action movies, you need to see Ong Bak.
