The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

watched it only because of buakaw banchamek . i really loved it . plain and nice. music i think transferred me to that period and made me feel as if i was in ayothaia back then . buakaw is my most favourite muai thai fighter of all. the plot is simple . the social messages throughout the movie . perfect movie about the morals of fighters, what a true fighter respects and how he confronts the death issue . would definitely recommend the movie for a relaxing 1 hour and 40 minutes time. the fight scenes could have been better but thats minor compared to the total value of the film. which i think is high . hope you enjoy it the same as i did .

Highway to heaven (or hell for all I know) that is. A very OTT movie, that does not involve much acting, but does rely on a historic event (though you won't be alone if that "fact" brings up a chuckle or two, especially during the movie). The fighting is pretty good, the (obvious) CGI not that much.Language switches between Japanese and Thai, while the story goes places you will expect it to go (no surprises there). There are of course better movies out there, but if you are a fan of "eastern" movies you can risk a look at this. Especially if you don't mind the (CGI) blood that'll spill all over your screen!

I just finished watching the movie so I'm writing the review while it is still fresh. Overall the movie itself isn't good at all. Some of the acting is beyond horrible and almost made me stop the film. Even the main actor is overacting sometimes. The soundtrack isn't horrible but it gets very repetitive after a while. The movie seemly tries to copy the feeling I had when watching The Last Samurai. A nostalgic feeling was tried to create when our main character decides to never return to his fatherland and stay in Ayothaya. It was almost too painful to watch, and it didn't do the film any good.Special Effects are horrible. The blood for example is so fake you don't need to pause the film since it's too obvious.If you're planning on watching this film, be ready for a cliché story a la The Last Samurai and some Special Effects a la Spy Kids 3. Fighting parts are pretty cool overall, but not the best.

Based on a true historic figure? Wow, maybe only the in comic book? The screenplay and the scenario are just stupid and ridiculous, I just can't believe this is happening, man. The acting of the main characters are just terrible. A Japanese samurai with a mouth lips like a carp can speak Thai, playing flute as the movie's sound track, well, anything is possible in this comic book movie. The master monk's nonstop chewing is exactly like a chain smoker. But none the less, the whole movie was shot beautifully in Thailand countryside with exotic scenic landscape, but the village was designed and built too modern and so clean that even the inspector from the Health Dept. couldn't have find anything unhealthy or cross-contaminated. The traditional Thai warrior fighting technique in this movie is amazingly effective and aesthetically beautiful, making the so-called Chinese martial arts or Japanese karate more like child play. These Thai fighters should be signed up by the UFC or the Strike force to beat the crap out of those MMA fighters. This is a very stupid and very artificial movie. Just watch the fighting scenes, not the other parts, especially the claimed "historic" crap, but definitely 100% better than Jackie Chan's moronic "Karate Kid"
