Let me be blunt - Ong Bak 2 is an incoherent mess...[Yet is] awesome, stupid, incoherent fun.October 23, 2009
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.October 23, 2009
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.November 20, 2009
Ong Bak 2 is really just an excuse for several jaw-dropping set pieces that show off Jaa's killing skills.October 23, 2009
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.February 07, 2010
... the lack of any dramatic center leaves the action, for all its bloody carnage and brutality, emotionally untethered: all spectacle and no character.December 17, 2009
We knew Jaa could bust heads; now he's just busting our balls.February 23, 2010
The 'sequel' to Jaa's stunning international debut, Ong-Bak, and his third international outing after the entertaining The Protector, but it contains only a fraction of the previous two's joyful invention.March 25, 2010
A mix of martial arts, which includes Muay Thai, kung fu and Samurai swordplay, that was Jaa's inspiration for making the movie in the first place.October 23, 2009
Bears virtually no connection to the original.July 21, 2012
It was epic action, I will admit, but that doesn't mean that the writers should give up on the rest of the film completely.
