Wow, someone totally missed the point

Saying that Ong Bak was a bad movie because of the weak story is like saying that the Simpsons is a bad series because of the lack of continuity from show to show.YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT! The story is only there to loosely tie together the fact that this guy is being a badass. Which he is. There were only a FEW fight scenes? What are you talking about? There were so many fight scenes and chase scenes and the like. Every time you thought you saw the coolest thing ever, he breaks out another move that STILL totally blows you away. The only reason that this movie exists is simply to showcase Phanom Yeerum's skills as a martial artist and an acrobat, which frankly, is enough for me.*sigh* If you care so much about story, steer clear. If you have any interest whatsoever is the GENRE of martial arts movies (where the quality of the story is usually not the primary concern), watch this movie. You won't be sorry.

Real Action Film (No Bias)

This movie base on nothing but some excellent Thai Boxing tricks that have been projected very beautifully. After all it is one of the only movie that actually have true Muay Thai in it after watching a Hollywood style kick-boxing for so long. It is nice to see some differences side and that what make this movie stand out.Added with no stuntman, no trick that is not real (and some of the tricks is like "woah how the hell did he did that?") And some good pure boxing this movie is what you actually called an "Action" action film.For what it is the movie seem to be anticipated by lots of action movie lover and this is definitely the one not to be miss.Rating: 6.5/10 (Grade: C+) Rating in action wise: 8.5/10 (Grade: A-)
