The final Ong Bak movie. I’ve been meaning to watch this as soon as it came out. Luckily it hit NWI sometime this weekend, so it was a no brainer watch.
This was probably my least favorite of the three. It picks up right where Ong Bak 2 left off and tends to the more spiritual/mystical side of things, focusing heavily on Tien’s recovery (both spiritual and physical) as well as the cursed king.
The violence, when it does break out, is even more brutal than either of the other two Ong Bak movies. I know that’s hard to imagine, but the violence here is driven by blood lust and revenge and it really feels dirty.
I’ll eventually get all three movies on Blu and then I’ll watch 2 and 3 back to back, since 3 really feels like it got trimmed off of 2 for running time. I think it would have played better as one long four hour long feature.
