Preview: Ong Bak 3 (2010)

Synopsis:

The third film in the Ong Bak trilogy finds Tony Jaa back in action battling the mysterious Demon Crow.

• Poster: C-

Review:

The poster for the previous film was far more creative, so I don't know if they are running out of ideas or just running out of juice.

• Trailer: C; C-

Review:

If you like martial arts just for the sake of martial arts, this might be your film. There is no semblance of a plot on display in the trailer, so it doesn't appear to be the kind of movie that has the chance to break out of the limitedly-watched sequel mold.

The music selection is terrible, the narration cheesy and the idea that this is the best martial arts trilogy of the last decade (only the last decade?) suggests they aren't really trying hard to sell a film that isn't likely to be very good (after all, how many martial arts trilogies have their really been over the last decade?).

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
