Ong Bak 2 is a sequel that suffers from a poorly written with great fight scenes that makes enduring the story aspect bearable. Now this movie wasn't entirely bad, I mean the cinematography was great (especially whenever you see a Elephant), the crew make good use of most of the location for action sequences, and the mindless violence though not as good as the original is still entertaining. The good part about the final fight scene in this movie it that it's about twelve minutes at best with Tony Jaa taking allot of pain, with no dialogue which makes the fight scene fast pace and pleasing to watch. Now the choreography in the first Ong Bak is some of the most spectacular i've seen in any Martial Art movie and it was a letdown that the only really good action sequence is at the end of the movie. The movie also does a terrible job for making you care about any of the characters and there boring, it makes you wish they cut out the story parts of the movie and left in the violence, would have been better. The only good part about the story is that it gives you a reason to root for the good-guys, though it just your typical motives and doesn't give you interesting villains. There's no good character development for our hero or any of the main characters. Yup, that's all I remember from the movie story-line.
This all I got from the story from Ong Bak 2, a young Thai boxer learns the skills and inner meaning of martial arts. Now to be fair, it could have been better than the first one, but it suffers from poor story-telling. It been a while since I reviewed a Martial Art film so I decided to watch Ong Bak 2 since i'm a big fan of the original movie.
