"Bang Rajan: The Legend of The Village Warriors" tried to look epic but didn't succeed. What I did like in the movie were the brutal battle scenes, but during those scenes there were too many special effects--which the film could use little of. The cover of the box says Oliver Stone loves this movie; I wish I could see what he sees in it.

This one has a bit of that made-for-tv feel to it, but it's an ejoyable film nonetheless. Some of the battle scenes are a bit to CGI, but there's some really cool stuff in there too.

I won't bore you with the details, suffice it to say, I never regreted my purchase of the pricey UK version of this film.

This movie is kind of an epic adventure that was apparently based on a true story. The movie does contain some big battle sequences that were pretty well filmed. However, the down time in-between these battles had me looking for the fast forward button. The love story didn't quite work for me and I felt myself looking for something more out of the story. The vastly outnumbered villagers taking on the big army in a last stand should have created a lot of tension and emotion. But, somehow it just didn't pull me in. Maybe I'm just too used to the melodrama that is so prevalent in the Korean movies I watch. At any rate, if you're looking for big battle sequences, by all means check this out. But, if you're looking for an engaging story (ala Braveheart), you probably won't be satisfied.

This is the sort of film that puts recent Hollywood epics to shame. Sure, a lot of the acting's a little wonky , but the characters themselves all fit perfectly. The action's fantastic, full of bone-crunching knees and elbows, along with copious amounts of double-sword and double-axe fights. Plus, the Burmese are portrayed like the English are in bad Mel Gibson films - the most evil people known to mankind, which makes them highly suitable villains.

Shame the CG work is blatantly visible, but it shows Thai cinema's definitely worth keeping an eye open for. This and the films from the Ong Bak team have certainly opened the right doors.

Not quite sure why so many people are sleeping on this film, but i gotta say it's pretty damn good. Good plot, good acting and all kinds of blood spewing forth. Plus, one of the main characters has a naughty mustache that simply rules! It's OK, y'all don't hear me tho. Like that one time I was all "Yo, Twins Effect 2 sucks balls," and you were all like, "Naw, the TWINS are in it!" Now look at you, with a DVD that smells like balls all on top of your TV set.
