It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

As other reviewer explained, this has to be reviewed not as a stand alone movie, yes as a third one into a trilogy. Not better way to end the ONG BAK trilogy, Tai survived a terrible torture, he died and came to life just for one reason, complete the circle. He trained his body to recover it and above all, his mind and way of fighting. I agree that this has less action sequences as previous films, but the fighting is beautiful and as I said, the reason is to complete the circle. He must learn the dancing style and finally understand that he is the weapon, he doesn't need weapons. The movie is well done and the action is solid. I understand the deception of many reviewers, but this movie was the only way to end the trilogy. Excellent movie.

Alright well i love the first onkbak it caught me totally by surprise and was really enjoyable i've seen it at least 4 times and it never gets old. The second one was alright kinda caught me off guard with the detailed story. Now Onk Bak 3 i was really excited for this one and when i watched it i was totally disappointed i didn't understand where the movie was going or why it took so long to get there. I have to say that while i watched the movie i didn't know tony jaa practically made this movie. So i was really angry to see the conclusion of onk bak 3. On the other hand now that i do know that tony made this movie i kinda am willing to be somewhat more supportive, i mean the guy is 35 and that is kinda old for a guy who uses no special effects and does all his own stunts. i'm sure we will see more of the tony jaa we know and love but i guess he himself is getting ready to face the fact that he is human. with that in mind this movie wasn't so bad. just maybe shouldn't of been called onk bak.

'ONG BAK 3': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Thai martial arts superstar Tony Jaa (who's been compared to the likes of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li) stars in this sequel to the international blockbuster 'ONG BAK 2', which actually isn't a traditional sequel to the original 'ONG BAK', seeing as that movie was set in modern day Thailand and the two sequels are set in the year 1431. This third chapter takes off right where the second part left off though and continues the adventures of Tien (Jaa). The film is directed, written and produced by Jaa and Panna Rittikrai (the team also co-directed the second film). While it doesn't live up to it's two predecessors or Jaa's other works it's still a more than decent martial arts adventure.The film begins with a montage of the closing scenes from the second film, which ended on a cliffhanger. Tien has been captured by the evil Lord Rajasena (Sarunyu Wongkrajang) and is nearly beaten to death by his men. Just before his execution though Tien is pardoned by the king and is taken by the messenger back to his people, the villagers of Kana Khone. There he is revived, from near death, back to life and goes through a special Buddhist healing process of both his mind and body. He must then prepare to do battle with his enemies once again and a new foe with powers of deadly magic (Dan Chupong).The story doesn't really matter as it's mostly incoherent and irrelevant. It's really just used as an excuse to string a bunch of elaborate action scenes and other spectacular visuals together. Going in to this movie I had low expectations, having had seen the mostly negative reviews it got from critics and fans alike but that was mainly due to disappointment. It's true that it doesn't live up to the other two chapters or 'THE PROTECTOR' (my favorite Tony Jaa film) but it's still better than a lot of other comparable martial arts films. Tony Jaa is an amazing martial artist and screen presence and in that way he definitely doesn't disappoint here. The fight choreography is stunning, the action scenes are spectacular (and surprisingly brutally violent) and the visuals are breathtaking. The story and character development is almost nonexistent but those things aren't really that important in a movie like this anyway. This movie is just a great action thrill ride, almost like an over long martial arts music video. I really liked the score music of the film as well as the directing (which stylistically speaking is very cool). I might have enjoyed the film quite a bit more than others because of my low expectations but I definitely had a pretty good time watching it.Watch our review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffxjYiwLUko

Ong Bak 3 is the worst out of them all.How did Tony Jaa go from a brilliant Ong Bak 1 to two terrible sequels? time and time again we are bombarded with slow-mo scenes and it gets old fast.The fighting is pretty non-existent bar a few so so scenes which aren't at all that great.He has fake looking long hair and a beard which just looks stupid.Humlae is some retarded doofus who says silly things for the 'comedic' effect but its just dumb.The end fight scene was just pathetic.....Tien beat the guy like it was a walk in the park. I wanted action, real conflict, for Tien to struggle to win and fight to the near-death.All I got was a half-arsed film with sentimental crap and....oh forget it.It's miles away from the brilliance of Ong Bak 1.
