![]() The action was some of the best caught on film (do they still use film?) that I have ever seen. Download film ong bak the protector torrent movie#Expectations were high, and the movie fulfilled them in both good and bad. Had the opportunity to watch Tom Yum Goong at a local cinema here in Bangkok on opening night. Reviewed by LaHaine 9 / 10 the best action movie of the year Remember it all just opinion people, everyones got one. Its easy to bash but look at the low budget flicks Jackie Chan or any other martial artist made when they where twenty and you'll see that this movie is much much better than most. More International success will give Tony Jaa access to a bigger budget, more talent (ie writers, language instructors, studios etc.) and allow him to grow. Hollywood wouldn't even have finished the credits before they ran out of money if they worked with the same budget. At the very least he is going to be a major Thai action star for years.Īlso people keep in mind this is a Thai movie. His screen presence, skill and experience mean he could be as big or bigger than Jackie or Jet in the next ten years. He is in the best shape of his life and just now coming into his prime. While he has trained in similar martial arts its obvious that he is unique. Through the diversity of his fighting style as he battles people who using everything from crane style Kung Fu to Capoeira, you understand why comparing him to others is unfair. ![]() Now you don't even need to know anything about fighting to notice the difference between karate (or other styles) and Muay Thai. Tony is a master of Muay Thai Kickboxing, which he uses 80% of the movie. This movie is so amazing because it not just Kung Fu and Karate for the thousandth time. He earned every break he has in his own way, and built his style accordingly. Tony was very poor growing up in Thailand idolizing Bruce lee in the movies. How does this relate to Tony Jaa? It doesn't at all and thats the point. Jet Li was one of the youngest Chinese National Tournament winners ever and blew people away with his Tai Chi and Shaolin style Kung Fu. Now I'm not a Jackie Chan fan by any means, but credit where it is due. Jackie built his comedic style from the ground up with his amazing acrobatic abilities, fighting skill and on screen charm. These are the styles these men made famous. Both are from China and went through actual training schools and academy's as well competitions. Anyway, if you go to a martial arts flick looking to pick it apart and analyze the acting skills then your a fool and should never leave your American Hollywood watering hole.Īs to comparing Tony Jaa to Jackie Chan or Jet Li, are you insane?! Both Jackie and Jet are in their forties. Perhaps left simple for international appeal or for the simple fact that a simple, pure story would be more poignant. His sorrow at the loss of the elephants is a big part of his rage and the simplicity of the story left lots of space for action. Mind you in this movie Tony is much more violent and brutal to his enemies. Tom Yum Goong is very similar to Ong Bak in its simplistic story and the noble feeling that surrounds Tony Jaa's character. Several other IMDb members commented on the repetitiveness of the movie, comparisons to Jackie Chan/Jet Li and its use of Kung Fu.įirst of all martial arts flicks will always be redundant to some extent since there are only so many ways to pick a fight, but stories do vary as does the quality of action. ![]() The first is that 90% of the North American audience knows nothing about Asian films and more to the point, martial arts. I have watched this movie several times and have come to a number of conclusions.
