Ong-Bak 3

Not exactly what I was expecting. This series has been an odd one. The first one was a typical low budget thrill ride action flick and it was extremely entertaining. The second was the first part of the back story and had a little less action and more drama - it was good, but not as good as the first. This one was the second part of the back story leading up to the first (think Star Wars) and was almost all story with just a little bit of action in it. While the story was OK, the film dragged on in a few parts. The action scenes are excellent as always with Tony Jaa's films, and though they were fairly long, they were a bit too few. It is a decent film and I'd say Tony Jaa fans might find it worth a viewing, just don't expect an action flick. Worth a rent.

I streamed it via Netflix and the streamed 5.1 audio was quite good.

I thought 3 was better than 2 but neither were near as good as 1.

The scene where they were fighting on top of, around and under elephants was INSANE!!! What if someone accidentally got stepped on?

My whole thing is, it kind of doesn't fit as a prequel because it seems like there is a lot more before we get to the point of where the first movie picks up. I still liked all of them, but definitely 2 and 3 weren't as entertaining.
