What a waste of my time!!!
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
View MoreOng-bak 3 take right after Ong-bak 2 left Tony Jaa as Tien after failing to use brute force to revenge now he has to find his inner piece to face off with a out of no where villain.The writing is bad but one again i came here to see Tony kick a lot of ass and he do it with style while rocking a long hair.The action scene is well choreographed by Tony himself although not as memorable as previous Ong-bak movies.Strangle stuff like during the final battle Tony pull out Nicolas Cage power in Next (2007) may upset many people other than that this movie is a great watch don't let the poor IMDb score fool you
View MoreI take it you have all watched Ong Bak and Ong Bak 2 before and are wondering if this film is on par with the first two; if you haven't, let me clue you in.The first two films in this series have been hailed by many (not everyone, but many) as outstanding martial-arts films, mostly due to the athletic prowess of Toni Jaa, but also because of the purity of the style - in fact, there is little beyond martial arts kick-ass-ness in these films.So, question remains, is Ong Bak 3 as good as its predecessors? Well .. yes. It's still good.But where the first two films had purity, this last instalment has to much random weirdness going on, in short it's got too much film for the quantity of kick-ass it has. If you watch any Ong Bak film, you're certainly not going for the plot, but for the fists and kicks.And let's be frank, Ong Bak 3 delivers in spades; just, not quite as relentlessly as the first two.My final vote on this pretty good action film - 7/10, but *only* for those who love the genre.
View MoreThere's no two ways about it: ONG BAK 3 is a mess of a film and one, I hate to say, that never should have been made. The previous entry in this historical twosome (the first ONG BAK was a low budget martial arts flick set on the streets of modern-day Bangkok) was a bit of a mixed bag of a film that I enjoyed for the most part. In comparison to this, ONG BAK: THE BEGINNING is a masterpiece of cinema. If only they'd had Jaa kill the main bad guy at the end of that film and spare us this unwanted final entry in the series, which is also, according to some, Jaa's swansong following his decision to retire from the industry and become a monk.The film's plot is all over the place. Jaa starts the film captured, tortured and left for dead. Long stretches of over-stylised posturing follow before – surprise, surprise – Jaa is 'reborn' and comes back fresher and stronger than before to battle the enemy again. By this time, the second film's villain has been bumped off by Dan Chupong's villainous "Crow" character, who should have stayed a bird-man rather than undergoing the nonsense we see his character involved in here.It all ends with a large-scale spectacle involving mucho weaponry, spear-play and elephants, but then silly twists are played out (one extended fight scene turns out to be purely imaginary) and the climatic one-on-one bout is a crushing disappointment. It's obvious that the filmmakers went too far in their attempts at creating a historical epic, whereas they should have stuck to the gritty, on-the-street vibe that made both the original ONG BAK and WARRIOR KING such smashing films. Sure, there are a handful of decent fight sequences in this one, all with the usual exemplary choreography, but the rest of the movie is a chore to sit through. This a film guaranteed to test the patience of even the most forgiving martial arts fan.
View MoreThis movie is the worse of the 3 Ong Bak movies. Ong Bak 1 was fresh and exciting. Ong Bak 2 gave us a new direction and an intriguing story line. Ong Bak 3 gave us a pretentious overly stylized mess. Watching Ong Bak 3 the movie IMO got progressively worse. It shows him being tortured and broken yet miraculously healed through prayer and dance. It felt like I was watching an Indian/Bollywood movie where the dance scenes were the "love" scenes. The best part of the movie was the action scene of the "Crow guy" brilliantly choreograph where he was untouchable. This looked like it would lead to a battle royal in the grand finale..... SPOILER!!!! .... Instead our hero uses his dance moves and soundly trashed the bad guy with out even getting a scratch. What utter (censored)!! Most anti climatic and disappointing ending. I watch this movie while on a flight, I actually swore out loud at the ending and my seat mate agreed with me. I have to admit the movie wasn't all bad (crow boy fight in the middle was brilliant) but the ending destroyed the movie. I think Tony Ja have watched too many art HK/Korean martial arts movies and this is his very bad imitation of them.
