Review of Ong Bak 3 (2010) by Jean-Nicolas T — 26 Dec 2013
Can you startt with a brainless, yet funny and inventive, action flick, and then get wiser and wiser until you release a deep and enlightning movie ?
Well I'm still waiting to see that happen - here they tried, and failed.
The rule of "the third movie is never as good as the previous two" seems to be a real malediction...
Mind you. I like stupid fun movies as much as I like smart movies.
What I don't like is when movies try to appear smarter than they really are.
I didn't mind the fact that the 2 previous Ong Bak didn't have a real scenario, because anyways, they didn't try too hard. This one however does try... But mainly it's a long series of clichés :p.
This movie is easy to watch and occasionally fun though, Jaa's fighting is still great.
Good enough if you've seen the 2 previous ones - otherwise, forget it.
