Wake up and smell the coffee!
This is reality.

Can you even listen to yourself?

The character is different from the actor portraying it.
So because Ong Bak Uwais was unstoppable, all his subsequent movies should be more of the same.


Do you expect an actor to crossover the features of a previously portrayed character into the plot of a completely different movie.

Do you expect Hugh Jackman to retain his wolverine healing ability in his every movie?
Christian Bale to always be the smart ass Batman?
Staham to always know his way around the wheel in every movie?

As an actor, you will work within the script you are given.
You once used three bullets to kill a battalion in a previous movie is none of the concern of a seasoned movie director/producer.

Rewatch the movie without bias and come back to give your review.

My beef with the movie wasn't plot twist or suspense, it was just pure dislike for M. J white acting. Secondly, with the other remaining assemble of hardcore martial artists, i expected way more, so much so, that i wanted Iko Uwais to display his exceptional martial art skills mixed with lots of gory scenes, Tony Jaa, to display his mind-blowing martial art fighting reflexes. Just think of THE RAID, ONG BAK & THE NIGHT COMES FOR US, all merged as a single movie, that was my expectation irrespective of my initial skepticism about the movie from the onset, but it was met with ultra dismay.

Nicely said, Agreed, the character is different from the actor portraying it, but there are some actors that are stereotyped for a specific type of role or fighting style in a movie, & thus assigning such actors other character or fighting style, other than what they are known for wouldn't exactly go down well with the movie.
Take Bruce Lee & Jackie chan for instance, we all know these two men hardly uses guns in any of their movies. So my question is, a movie were the character/role assigned to Bruce Lee & Jackie requires that they fight mostly with guns instead of their kun fu, would you enjoy such movie??

.
If you have seen all of iko uwais & Tony jah movies, you would know that the plot of triple threat is somewhat cliché to most of their movies, if that be the case, what stops iko uwais or Jah from showcasing their gory fight scenes, because, basically there is not much difference,in the premise nor settings of the movie & all their other movies.

As an actor, you will work within the script you are given.
Now, you've pointed something reasonable out. Simply put it this way, the script was bad, none of the A-list cast were used to their full potential.

Sometimes it takes more than a good script to make a good movie, sometimes the story line could be excellent, production, directing and editing could mess everything up.

I was watching a Michael Jai White interview about Spawn the other day, he said Most of the cast were surprised that some acts were edited and replaced with some CGI effects and, the visual effects used in that movie was first of its kind at that time, and the director was a visual effect producer, so the movie leaned more towards visual effects.

So most times the culprits of a bad movies are not really the cast, but the production team.

On a serious note, what did the writers do to my Thor character?

Thor is my favourite superhero.
If they mess up his character, heaven will fall angry



Damn the spoilers, what happened to Thor? cry
