If you are keen on the Ong Bak movies, you will know they are filled with some of the most brutal, yet fun to watch, fight scenes ever to be filmed. Of course, we all know these are just movies and they aren't really fighting, but there is not a way any of the actors or stuntmen in these films comes out of production unscathed. The action is simply too over the top and physical for anybody to get away from one of these flicks without at least a small injury or two.
That realistic, entertaining type of fighting has made the Ong Bak series an instant classic among martial arts fans. Ong Bak 3 is now out and I are only able to say that the crazy, intense physical stuff you are used to seeing is still there. But, there is something new. Different things. Something shockingly surprising. Dancing. Whenever you sat down to read an Ong Bak 3 review, you most likely weren't expecting that were you?
You heard right a central theme in the newest addition towards the Ong Bak series, Ong Bak 3, is dancing. Not just a little bit of dancing, actually, but a lot of dancing. Should you haven't seen Ong Bak 3 yet I can only imagine your reaction to this news. Ong Bak... dancing...??
Don't let it throw you too much. Like I said, there's plenty of physical action and fighting, just like you're accustomed to from these movies, but the mysterious addition of dancing and how it plays to the whole story is something that you just need to look into believe.
I had a great time watching this movie. In fact, I returned for seconds and saw Ong Bak 3 again. I figured that if was going to write an Ong Bak 3 review, I needed to possess a second go around. The mysterious dancing which i mentioned just begged that i can sit through another viewing to place all the pieces together in my head.
I'm glad I sat right down to watch it again but you'll enjoy it too. Use with an open mind. You are going to see lots of what you are used to, but Ong Bak 3 is also likely to surprise you a lot more than you may think.
