This flim is amazing.
The fight scene in the restaurant near the end is probably the best choreographed fight scene on film. Its done with one take!
Not as good as ong bak but not a poor film by any means. The story is not that great but who cares when when you have tony jaa breaking peoples arms and legs!
Stupid

This movie is the most stupid martial art movies i have ever seen. the muay thai is good but thats it. There has to be more to a movie and im afraid there wasnt anything else in this movie. Stupid storyline, bad acting on a whole a very bad movie.
amazing this guy is the best !

tony jaa is the man, hot on the heels of ong bak comes another no holds barred arse kicking action flick. as with ong bak the storyline isn't the best, but likewise, you don't watch it for the in depth plot development. by the time you've picked your jaw up from the floor watching jaa's amazing skills the film will have finished!!
Not as good as Ong-Bak

Like its predecessor Ong-Bak, Warrior King has plenty of amazing martial arts action: Tony Jaa fights his way through dozens of opponents, leaving behind a trail of broken bones and anguished howls. The marathon rampage through a staircase is particularly impressive. But unlike Ong-Bak, Warrior King is too long and a bit too grim for my liking. A slight disappointment.
Great action - bone crunching!

Tony Jaa 's second movie where he is the star and what a movie. It is let down with the storyline (as it is similar to Ong Bak - that a villiage boy goes to city searching for something) and the beginning you're thinking "hope this picks up soon" as it goes on about the boy (Jaa) and his elephant. but once those 10 or so minutes are up and he is in Australia, then prepare for some bone cracking action. As with Ong Bak, Jaa choreographs many fights and does many stunts without aids (eg strings).
I love Jackie Chan's movies, and love the fact he does his own stunts - i never thought there'd be anyone to replace him (other than Sammo Hung or Yung Biao). Jaa is exactly like Chan in that respect, but a more serious actor where as Chan is more of a comedian. He also has that look of Bruce Lee. Lee always looked like a nice guy, but then his expression changed and you thought "OMG he is gonna kill someone" and Jaa has that same expression.
Ok the story is flimsy but plausable, but its the action and stunts you'll remember. Story is about someone who stole his elephants ( like Ong Bak where someone stole the head of Buddha or something) and Jaa goes to the city to get it back. he then beats everyone up and finds the baby elephant (which is like family). Jaa does try to act well in this, and even see him cry, but the story lacks so much that he cant do much more. However, there action is amazing and you would get away with fastforwarding to watch just that.
There are 2 scenes which stay in my mind (and i will try not to ruin it for you by describing them) which i believe may make the Guiness Book of Records. One scene he runs up 3 floors, all in one single shot/take which i do not believe has ever been done before. Then the end fights where Jaa breaks more opponents bones than i have ever seen in any movie.
There arent many Thai films or Muay Thai films, and Kickboxer was a poor example of Muay Thai (and you'll see why with Ong Bak and Warrior King). So this is a really good movie to show the beauty of Muay Thai and its devasting power.
Since both outings have shown his great skill, all that he needs now is a great script. im hoping the next outing will have that, since both Ong Bak and Warrior King are too similar in script to be set apart, and both only show how brilliant Jaa is stunt and Martial Art wise, but he now needs something to challenge him as an actor too.
Tony Jaa legend... part Two

This film has the greatest fight sequences ive ever seen.
Like Ong Bak before it, the film suffers from having a lack of a plot but it makes up for it in spades with the quality of the fight sequences with the last two being particlarly special, and also the one with the capoeira fighter standing out.
Excellent second movie for Jaa.

The new Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan, well not quite but this is pretty close. Jaa's brand of action is superb, utilising traditional muay thai with acrobatic grace. The action is hard-hitting, especially the end scenes. Jaa just lacks perhaps the charisma of a Bruce Lee but that's unfair i suppose to compare the man with such a legend. On his own merit this brand of action is innotative and i think i can speak to everyone when i say we are all looking forward to his next piece of work.
Loved it!.....loved it

I loved this film, Ong Bak brought a new style of films to the table, and the warrior king took it to the next level. Absolutely jam packed with fights, it should keep any fight happy fan, well, happy. enjoy.
