Ong Bak 2 Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Jaa, who co-directs, has only one thing in mind: a series of increasingly complex fight scenes in his characteristically wide-ranging style. If movie theaters allowed you to fast-forward past the filler, your life just might be complete.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Features a far more soulful and charismatic Jaa immersed in a ceaseless whoosh of extraordinary fight scenes involving everything from pebbles to elephants.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Ong Bak 2 is slicker production-wise than the original, and it has so much noisy action that Thai foley artists must have made a fortune inserting thuds and grunts.
Washington Post
Jan Stuart
Taking co-directorial reins with Panna Rittikrai, Jaa has erected a portentous platform for his high-flying athleticism, bearing none of the freewheeling spirit or humor that made his feature debut a guiltless pleasure.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
There isn't much of a plot, although Jaa's fans won't mind a bit. All they want is lots of bloody, muddy action in the Thai jungles, which they get.
Dallas Morning News
Cary Darling
Ong Bak 2 is really just an excuse for several jaw-dropping set pieces that show off Jaa's killing skills.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Bears virtually no connection to the original.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Tony Jaa is a lot of fun to watch, but Ong Bak 2: The Beginning is not only a step back in time -- to 1431 -- but a step back in this martial artist's international film career.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Don't look for continuity of storyline -- just enjoy the extravagant fight stunts, the restless camera work, and the sluicing rivers of blood and mud. (That's why you're here, right?)
AV Club
Noel Murray
The fight scenes are kinetic and varied, and pick up a unique flavor from the backdrop of meticulously recreated hillside villages.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Lovely to look at by small degrees, but a mud-spattered mess of a movie overall.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The first thing to know about Ong Bak 2: The Beginning is that there is no story. The second thing to know is that the first thing isn't as much of a bother as it probably should be.
Slant Magazine
Simon Abrams
Ong Bak 2 is infused with an urgency and relentlessness that few contemporary action films have.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
Features an international star at the top of his particular game right now, delivering continuously impressive vehicles for his gritty, dirty style of martial arts.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Unfortunately, the movie could use a bit of pachyderm memory, given its habit of flashing back to Tien's childhood with exactly the same footage used in previous flashbacks. Instead of the narrative being deepened, it keeps getting shallowed.
Slate
Grady Hendrix
Nourished on anemic action sequences full of shaky-cams, rapid-fire editing, and quick cutaways, American audiences are not prepared for Jaa's 20-minute essays on human bodies causing massive trauma.
Village Voice
Nicolas Rapold
The movie would work better as a highlight reel.
Oregonian
Mike Russell
You can only get so mad at a movie in which a large crowd cheers and the lone subtitle reads "Hooray." With a period.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
Stretched to nearly two full hours and deploying a seemingly endless array of flashbacks sequences, it becomes almost impossible to follow for more than a few minutes at a time and Jaa's utterly charm-free performance doesn't make things any easier.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
It's an incoherent, would-be martial-arts epic with only a handful of action sequences in its favor.
