just watched Ong Bak 3

with today being a chilled bank holiday monday I figured what better way to spend my day than to chill out on the sofa with a mate of mine and watch Ong Bak 2 and 3 together.
I saw Ong Bak 1 about three years ago and while it was a martial arts marvel, i remember finding all the replays of every-single-stunt unintentionally hilarious!
then I saw Warrior King and was blown away.

well anyway, when we finished watching ong bak 2 we were both pretty sure we'd witnessed one of the greatest martial arts films of all time. we put ong bak 3 on straight away to see what happens next!

I really really wish we hadn't.

this is one of the worst films i have ever seen, and yes, high expectations may have had a hand in that. but even now, after having time to mull it over in my head, I can assure you this will tarnish your memory of Ong Bak 2 forever!
what's worse is that a lot of you will have 2 years worth of high expectations. expectations that are about to be shat all over!

needless to say after the high of watching Ong Bak 2, this has seriously ruined our day!

So... after reading this you do decide to go watch this, don't say i didn't warn you.

Ong bak2 I enjoyed and actually paid attention to the storyline and its subtitles, it had great fight scenes.

Ong Bak3, I still enjoyed, but only for the fight scenes all of which are great! but the films storyline is just lame, and not only that the effects and dreams mumbo jumbo story filler etc its just boring. Worst is that the King was not sufficiently beaten the *beep* up by Tony Jaa himself for what he got away with doing For that alone its bad, the rest is the effects and filming style storyline just meh.

But it did seem to have more comedy, both in Tony Jaa's moves, oh and that drunk village comedy guy.. He was the cop in Tom yum goong, they should do more films together.

Actually Tony Jaa should do more films! its just sad to see Ong Bak 3 as the last movie he has worked in with nothing upcoming.

well actually paid attention to the storyline and its subtitles, also and it was verry disjointed and ovverly long and needlesely paded out that bloody dance scen mainly and the intro being shown twice and just the aimless diretion and odd ploting and i bet you cant explain the bloody crow man

by the way how was the subs on your version i watched the UK sony blu ray of ong bak begining and the subs were verry robotic and had some odd sentences
