Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

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

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

callanvass This review is for the uncut International version Forget the plot, seriously. Who in their right mind is looking for a good plot when they decide to watch this anyway? Chances are, you've come here for the action and boy do you ever get it. I have seen tons of action movies, I guess you can call me an adrenaline junkie. I can honestly say that nobody can compare to Tony Jaa when it comes to fight scenes. You think you can define intensity? think again! When you think you've seen it all, trust me; you haven't. There is always something new when it comes to Tony Jaa. Ever seen bones being broken in rapid succession? You will in this movie. If that doesn't entice you, how about Tony Jaa literally leaping up in the air to kick a guy in the face, off a helicopter? The scariest thing is, those scenes pale in comparison to some of the other things in this movie. The warehouse fight scene and the restaurant fight scene are both incredible, but the end fights blew me away. Wait until you see Tony Jaa take on gargantuan human beings. I don't wanna spoil anymore, but let me just say the groundbreaking action won't disappoint you. I didn't mind the "Elephant kidnapping" storyline. It is obvious Tony Jaa is passionate about it, others may not feel as impassioned as Jaa does, but I felt it was beautiful at times. Tony Jaa isn't great acting wise, but he does have a good emotional scene at the end. He is riveting with his intensity, it knows bounds. He comes across like a man possessed to get back something he admires. Jaa must be privy to being tired because his conditioning is ridiculously good. He is a freak of nature and makes Jackie Chan look tame at times. Ironically enough, there is a cameo from Jackie Chan in the beginning. Sadly, it's a Jackie Chan lookalike. How's that for a dream team? Somebody should make it happen.Final Thoughts: I know I am praising the action like it is groundbreaking, but it really did blow me away with how exhilarating it was. The plot is nothing special, but with the non-stop action, you won't have time to think about that. The Protector features some of the most incredible fight scenes that have ever been filmed. If you're craving action, give Tony Jaa a call. Buckle up and hang on!9/10

feverbaba123 Tom Yum Goong (The Protector) is that kind of film that will make you an admirer of Tony Jaa from the word go!Its the kind of film where story is just an excuse to show off the brilliant action skills of the lead actor.It belongs to the genre of all those Bruce Lee and Chan films. Tony Jaa himself is like an updated version of both combined together.A legend in his own right. There is nothing that he doesn't seem to know - Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Kick boxing, Gymnastics, Parkour .... you name it and he has got it! The perfect fully loaded action hero.My personal favorite scenes are one in the warehouse where he beats a gang of 20-25 people and it looks believable yet spectacular. His fight with the Capoeira fighter Lateef Crowder and finally, that bone-breaking spree scene which in my opinion,is the greatest action scene in cinema history.Highly recommended!

Maniac-9 Just like all of Tony Jaa's movies they all use the style of Muay Thai fighting over the more used arts of Kung Fu and Karate, which is a nice change of pace and adds a bit different of a style to the fight scenes. He continues the same great quality of fight scenes that he did in the Ong Bak trilogy, which was his career starter.The plot of the movie is fairly simple but you're not going to see this movie to see a plot that's going to win the screenwriter any academy awards. The plot for the most part is just there to tie the action together which it does quite well. If you go to this movie expecting to see what the movie promises to deliver(a bunch of bad ass fights and acrobatic action) then thats exactly what this movie provides for you.Tony Jaa is basically the modern day Bruce Lee or the same as what Jet Li and Jackie Chan did in their primes.

varunfcpl Tony Jaa's recent endeavour "TOM YUM GOONG" is basically a revenge tale in which a man gets revenge on the people who kill the holy animals of his homeland,namely the elephants.The film main theme varies from,the protagonists' love for animals , brilliantly choreographed fight scenes to modern sexually explicit and violent themes.However the main theme of this movie is the martial arts fight sequences ,which are fantastic and are a "must see" for martial arts cinephiles.Tony Jaa uses his own version of muay thai ,as well as other martial arts such as stick figting and a combination of a swift kicks and gymnastics.There are several fight scenes choreographed by the famous Panna Rittrikrai stunt team.The best fight scene in my opinion is the scene in the temple where Tony faces of against a highly skilled capoiera practitioner.There is another great fight scene in which he fights an evenly matched Johnny Nyugen. The movie is entertaining ,though the acting is dull.However tony does a good job of acting as well.A must see for martial arts fans.
