Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
SnoopyStyle The Jaturungkabart once were protectors of Thailand's revered Royal war elephants. Kham (Tony Jaa) is from a long line of protectors. He grew up with great elephant Por Yai and his calf Kohrn. Elephants are taken by poachers with the help of corrupt officials. Kham goes to Sydney to confront Vietnamese gangster Johnny to avenge his father and save his elephants.It's got action, real stunts, Tony Jaa and explosive destruction. The acting is B-level. I don't expect Tony Jaa to be an extraordinary actor and he has good charisma for a stuntman. It's his action that speaks louder. I like policeman Mark but the rest aren't that special. The comedy ranges from cute to cheesy. On that note, there is a Jackie Chan impersonator. For that to truly work, the movie needs the real Jackie Chan who would nail the comic handoff of that scene. The story is functional but this is an excuse to see action stunts. Although Jackie would have done it with better humor.
julesdil After the bad but decent ong bak this film with supposed excellent Acton scenes disappointed me. tony jaa hurts a lot of crime members when they steal his elephants. This plot is unique and the fights try to be good but they turned out to be not the worst these films are nothing special bur warrior king is the worst tony jaa film the Acton scenes especially the climax was far fetched and the setting is western so thees no Thai culture nor music. The characters are rubbish the comedy in this is stupidly boring a mess. this film is not appalling but bad i cant Even stand ti watch it even the stunts Arno enough Ti save it
Maniac-9 Just like all of Tony Jaa's movies they all use the style of Muay Thai fighting over the more used arts of Kung Fu and Karate, which is a nice change of pace and adds a bit different of a style to the fight scenes. He continues the same great quality of fight scenes that he did in the Ong Bak trilogy, which was his career starter.The plot of the movie is fairly simple but you're not going to see this movie to see a plot that's going to win the screenwriter any academy awards. The plot for the most part is just there to tie the action together which it does quite well. If you go to this movie expecting to see what the movie promises to deliver(a bunch of bad ass fights and acrobatic action) then thats exactly what this movie provides for you.Tony Jaa is basically the modern day Bruce Lee or the same as what Jet Li and Jackie Chan did in their primes.
GodzillaVSJaws in the 80s we action film fans had a lot going for us. Because the action stars back then actually had real fighting experience. Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, and of course jackie chan , sammo hung, and yuen biao. The problem is, now all of these people are old no longer making any movies. So, what are we to do? Well luckily some Thailand action buffs thought the same thing, and thus Tony Jaa was born. You really have to be a true action film fan to appreciate the action stardom that Tony Jaa has. He is "the next great one", and his films deserve to be honored by the likes of those good old action classics. could talk all day but sadly i have a life and must go back to-oh who am i kidding, IMDb still has not posted My review of the worst movie of 2008; The Dark Knight.
