Watch Ong Bak 3 For Free

Admirable film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

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.

Can anyone tell me what is actually going on in this film?? Firstly, and this is key, the fight sequences are top notch and I come to expect nothing less from Tony Jaa. Having seen the prequels to this film (Ong Bak in particular is fantastic) and Warrior King this doesn't quite live up to first Ong Bak but it has a good go. There is no question that Jaa's physical prowess is phenomenal, a serious Jackie Chan if you will. Jaa's directorial style in places is snappy with some interesting tricks. Lots of long tracking shots in the fights really help to prove that there are no Wires, CGI and certainly no stunt men. Secondly, and this is the problem, the film is a classic case of style over content. The storyline has more holes than a string vest and what bits you can understand are silly, out of context and flat out odd. I have watched this twice and I feel no more clued up. Can anyone explain the man with the wicker basket on his head?To sum up - this is one of those films that you will want to fast forward until there is a fight which means it will take you about 20 minutes in total to watch this film. Great fighting but not much else. If you want to watch a fantastic martial arts film in the last 5 years then when you have skipped to the fights in this, go out and get yourself RAID and RAID 2: Berandal, then you will have to opportunity to watch two modern classics of the martial arts era!!

After watching this film I went back and read my user comment for Ong Bak 2, just to remind myself what I thought of it. What I found was that I had praised the action but said almost every other aspect was weaker than it should have been; it is a user comment I could pretty much copy/paste here and just right the word "very" anytime I see the words "weak" or "poor". In short Ong Bak 3 is a massive disappointment across the board, but amazingly doesn't even really have the action sequences to make the casual viewer forgive it.Let's start with the plot just to get it out of the way – which is coincidentally just how the film treats the plot, an inconvenience to be gotten out of the way with the minimal amount of fuss. As a result we get something so thin that I cannot even be bothered to describe it but suffice to say you will not care about any of it. Of course a lack of plot in a film that we all came to in order to see people kicked into the air is not a real issue, but unfortunately the plot vacuum is delivered slowly and with a constant mystical air of worthiness that it cannot make work and does not need or deserve.The lack of plotting means we do not care about the characters and of course the cast have little to work with in that regard. In fairness, I did watch a dubbed version so it is hard to gauge the performances, but on the other hand at times there was so little dialogue that I forgot it was dubbed (although the American dubbing is 1980's-tastic in its cheesiness). Jaa remains unable to do much as an actor except the physical, he has a presence in that way but nothing else. Comic-relief Wongkamlao doesn't seem to fit in the film but is put in there anyway and is poor. The bad guys are generally weak and indeed the crow-king character is just silly without any real sense of threat or presence (a couple of good moves though).Speaking of moves, this film's biggest disappointment is that the fight sequences are so very dull. The large set-pieces are all about locations and numbers but in terms of Jaa and the other leads, there are almost no moves or sequences that made me gasp or thrilled me. This is a problem since this is the point of this type of film. Instead we get fights that are mostly "OK" but nothing more than this; they don't cover for the poor plot and they certainly don't make up for long "training" sequences that feel like they are there purely to fill time (which of course they are).One could argue that viewers of Ong Bak 3 should know what they are getting, but I don't buy that. The potential to make a great film with someone as physically able as Jaa is still there and yet again it is wasted. The plot is non-existent, the characters likewise and too many of the scenes just feel like they are there to fill time. The action is workmanlike in the main and this is the biggest problems – Jaa has amazed me in the past, here he simply bored me and I yet again look at his film and wonder what his career aspirations are and why his people aren't trying to get him into films much better than this one.

I registered onto IMDb just so I can tell you that this is the worst martial arts movie I've ever seen. I saw and enjoyed both the other movies. I had low expectations for this one, and they weren't met. In fact, the movie made me angry. The story seems to have been written by a random word generator - it involves nonsensical curses, a king who has unintentionally funny hallucinations, a crow woman who sounds like a female transformer, and things that happen that didn't really happen. I tried to understand what was going on, and I did not succeed.There's also scenes of graphic violence and torture that is a lot more mean spirited than what we've seen in Tony Jaa's other movies. This isn't fun, and it's not like the movie has any deeper meaning or interesting characters to justify it. Do we really need to see an uninterrupted shot of a person's throat being slit open and blood spewing out? How about two? The fight scenes? There's only one or two long ones, late in the movie, and that's when I perked up. Unfortunately, they're a disappointment. They're obviously sped up and sometimes there are wires involved. The moves Jaa does are the same ones he does in all his movies, except not as good and sometimes obviously choreographed. As expected, everyone attacks one at a time, but this time you can see them standing in the background waiting their turn. Tony Jaa's gotta make some better choices - the guys career has been going downhill after his first movie. The guy's got talent but it's being completely wasted.
