Critics Consensus

It suffers from comparisons to its predecessor -- not to mention Tony Jaa's less-than-nimble direction -- but Ong Bak 2 has all the extravagant violence and playful style that fans of the original will expect.

Ong Bak 2 is really just an excuse for several jaw-dropping set pieces that show off Jaa's killing skills.

Rated: 3/5

Austin Chronicle

Lovely to look at by small degrees, but a mud-spattered mess of a movie overall.

Rated: 1.5/5

The first thing to know about Ong Bak 2: The Beginning is that there is no story. The second thing to know is that the first thing isn't as much of a bother as it probably should be.

Rated: 2.5/4

There's a lot to like for those who enjoy visceral martial arts action; and a lot to dislike for those who value a good story.

Rated: 6/10

It was epic action, I will admit, but that doesn't mean that the writers should give up on the rest of the film completely.

Rated: 2/5

Ong Bak 2 is a 2008 Thai martial arts film co-directed by Panna Rittikrai and Tony Jaa, who also stars in the lead role. It is the standalone prequel to the 2003 film Ong-Bak and is set in 15th century Thailand. Which makes no sense since its a prequel to a film set in the 21st century. In the film, Tien trains himself in martial arts, where he becomes a lethal soldier and sets out to avenge his parents' death. Vision wrote: "Tony Jaa holds up to Jet Li's Fearless. Almost comparable. The action choreography, the fight training and the battle sequences are all worth the watch. Especially near the end of the film, Tony Jaa makes his mark as a legend of martial arts on screen. The only thing that made no sense was the timeline setting. This film is supposed to be set in the 15th century and Jaa's name is Tien and not Ting. More of a set piece for Tony Jaa to display his martial arts qualities. A mud splattered mess. Three and a half fries!"

Filme: ONGBAK 2 - O Começo #ongbak Assistido: 21-8-23 Elenco: @tonyjaaofficial @bigxmack Modelo: #artemarcial #artmarcial #ação #action Duração: 1h 38m Ano: 2008 Minha opinião: muitos misturam Ong Bak com o Protetor. Aqui no Brasil lançaram um com o nome do outro e vice-versa. Vamos a um resumo: Ong Bak 1 (2003), O Protetor (2005) o melhor filme de Tony Jaa e para onde lançou ele para o Mundo em minha opinião. Ong Bak 2 (2008), Ong Bak 3 (2010), O Protetor 2 (2012). Ong Bak 1 se passa nos dias de hoje, enquanto Ong Bak 2 se passa em um passado medieval. E quando Tony é uma criança e é colocado para uma luta com animais ele se rebela e o tirano Tien e foge. E é criado por Chermang onde o treina para se tornar o melhor. E assim o filme traz ótimas lutas com vários estilos de luta. Até que chega ao final onde Tien volta até que tudo do passado retorna mas com inimigos maior. E quem será? E assim segue ao final com ótimas lutas e coreografia. Um filme com orçamento baixo a lutas e coreografia é oque salva o filme. Roteiro deixa a desejar e o enredo também. Vale apena assistir? A ação vale apena. Nota: 6,5
