I bought and viewed the 3D Blu Ray version of The Protector 2. I really enjoyed it, and I also have The Raid: Redemption, The Raid 2: Berandal, Ong Bak trilogy, and everything from Korea, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Japan on Blu ray. II bought and viewed the 3D Blu Ray version of The Protector 2. I really enjoyed it, and I also have The Raid: Redemption, The Raid 2: Berandal, Ong Bak trilogy, and everything from Korea, China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Japan on Blu ray. I would like to point out that this movie was filmed with a 3D camera on set and special effects were added after production to make even more 3D like objects fly at the screen. The poor reviews are from people that watched it in a format that is unintended by the Director. This means that if you watch it on Blu ray or whatever without 3D it's going to seem like wack computer generated images are in the film. Given the movie does have wack computer images, but they aren't unbearable. That's what's going on with these lazy reviewers. They don't know anyone with a 3D Tv. The story is superior to TYG (The Protector) as after the initial viewing I fast forward it until I get to Tony Jaa going up a flight of stairs fighting people, etc. The story in the first was dumb as hell, but the action was amazing. The sequel has a beget sorry and so so action. I feel like the reviewers watched this in Thai without subtitles because they are incorrect in explaining scenes in the movie. You'll read reviewers saying they had the same boring idea to kidnap his elephant again, but the movie mocks this idea as well, with a scene in which the comedic cop says to Tony Jaa "You lost your elephant... again!? Most people lose their keys". The movie is funny, and it is intentional, as there are comedic timed moments where Tony Jaa walks into a room seemingly oblivious and fights (he doesn't have good comedic timing) but his cop friend from all the other Tony Jaa movies is the funniest I've seen him. There is a lot of action and the movie is very entertaining but the action scenes in the first film are more brutal. This shows more fighting while doing crazy stunts then just doing Muay Thai on a bunch of people like the first film. With all that said, RZA made the movie a little dumber, but not enough to ruin it. The concept is he loves fighting and has engraved numbers from 22 down to Jaa with the #1 branded on his chest against his will in the movie and this backpack that electrocutes him if he doesn't fight. Its not comparable to The Raid films (those are on another level) but this looks good in 3D and is fun to watch. Only in 3D! Don't be lame, go get yo' ass the 3D Blu ray at Best Buy.… Expand
