B
"Appreciate the feature as more of a silent film adventure and it's a blast, furthering the curious career of Tony Jaa, who steps behind the camera to co-direct this often exhilarating but supremely baffling martial arts picture."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

C
""Ong Bak 2" is so obviously contrived for the sole purpose of showing off Tony Jaa's martial arts weapons expertise that the film soon wears out its welcome."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

1.5/4
"...the film eventually settles into a groove of tedious training sequences and context-free battles..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C
"Not really a sequel but more a misguided prequelish follow-up...obviously enjoyed a much larger budget than its titular predecessor, but it's nowhere near as much fun."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

63/100
"An effort that handily trumps the first in every respect, Ong-Bak 2 further cements Tony Jaa's status as one of the era's key action stars."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

"The action bits make you feel like you've had pure adrenaline pumped into you, but the attention to artistic detail... is like something you'd expect from a Hollywood epic..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

"Stretched to nearly two full hours and deploying a seemingly endless array of flashbacks sequences, it becomes almost impossible to follow for more than a few minutes at a time and Jaa's utterly charm-free performance doesn't make things any easier."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

3/5
"The general incomprehensibility is further hampered by poor subtitles and a stoic tone which suggests it's taking itself much too seriously"  Filmcritic.com  Rob Vaux
