Ong Bak 2: The Beginning

This movie should be considered as one along with Ong Bak 3. I united both and saw the whole picture. In these times, people are just concenred about action scenes, actor performances, editing and things like that when they watch movies like this. Being a pure martial artist and, understanding that all humans are warriors because they all strive to survive against all the darts and arrows that life throw at them; I must say that this movie is a masterpiece. Honestly, I think that, along with Jet Li's Fearless, this is the best foreign Martial Arts movie ever created. Someone will disagree and, I must respect that but, it is about the whole message that this movie brings. You can see in this one how a man can become a killer, full of raw revenge feelings, just by the way he was raised. I always ask myself when I see assasins and criminals: at what point of their lives, they were thrown into that path? They were all born as sweet babies and, how they became what they are now? This movie really shows the raise if a powerful killer and the root of what made him be like that, the martial arts exposed were awesome; how he was trained in the Samurai Kenjustu, the Chinese Kung-Fu and the wrestling. Tony was incredible at mastering movements of all these 3 combined arts and I have to say that it was deeply toughing when he made it through a bunch of elephants, reaching the dominant male and making all the elephants kneeling! It is a compete movie full of lessons for us to learn and it trowed in the foundation for the next one in a great way. The fighting scenes are so marvelous that you could be lead to believe that there is no movement that Tony cannot do. Exceptionl repertorie! This great production is all about how a man can take suffering beyond limits and grow stronger never giving up but, also shows how weak and useless one can be if love an forgiveness is taken away from a human's life. I strongly recommends to watch this movie and the #3. Enjoy!

Tony Jaa continues to amaze me with his Muay Thai skills. In this film he uses more weapons but still great. The story line isn't much different but the action, landscapes and costumes/clothing do make up for that. All around, it's worth watching. Looking forward to Ong Bak 3.
