Audience Member Tom Yum Goong 2, also known in the US as The Protector 2, in the UK as Warrior King 2 and in Germany as Return of the Warrior is a 2013 Thai martial arts film directed by Prachya Pinkaew and written by Eakisit Thairaat. It is the sequel to Pinkaew's Tom-Yum-Goong with Tony Jaa and Petchtai Wongkamlao reprising their roles. Vision wrote: "the usual Jaa formula. The action choreography was overrated and not that convincing at times. With the action coming fast and furious, especially when the script basically gives up any pretence at coherency halfway through the film overcomes a clumsy, complicated set-up and breaks through. Worth a watch. Especially the martial arts from Marrese Crump and RZA. Rhatha Phongam as No. 20 convinced us that she has a prominent future. Three fries!" Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: "O Protetor 1" Imagine uma OBRA DE ARTE, COM CERTEZA UM DOS MELHORES FILMES DE ARTES MARCIAIS QUE ASSISTI. Mas este 2º filme que é continuação do 1º, deixou muito a desejar, muito mesmo. São 2 universos totalmente diferente. Este filme já peca com sua estoria e enredo. Fracos de mais. Oque faz o papel de vilão, ele tenta parecer mal, mas é fraco. O Mark que fez um papel importante no 1º, aqui não tem peso no filme. A parte com maior emoção foi a perseguição com as lambretas. Uma pena este filme. Roteiro e enredo fraquíssimo. Vale apena assistir? Não. Como pode do céu ao inferno. Nota: 3 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This second installment to one of my favorite martial arts movie, was not that good, and I felt bad about it. The reason why is because I really loved the first onr to die for, and for me seeing the trailer and then watching the movie after gave me some some disappointment. I was really looking forward to this second installment. Yes it had its good fighting scenes no doubt on that , but it didn't have the same vibe as the first one. As that being said for some good fighting scenes and some new villans for Tony Jaa , but not being enough to impress me, like the first one, This second installment was just ok, I really wanted to like this movie, So for that I give " The Protector 2 " a solid C. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The Protector is one of my favorite Martial Arts films, and when Tony Jaa disappeared for years, only to reappear with this bloated mess of a movie, I was very disappointed. Oh, much of the fighting is of high quality, and there is actually even more of it than before, but the movie just feels too long, too thin and oddly frustrating. One reason for this is that there's one central muscle-villain that is literally treated like The Terminator (no matter how hard you beat him down, he's up again 30 seconds later), and in order to generate tension, the baddies will get plenty of cheap-shots on Tony Jaa (and his allies) when the baddies themselves aren't nearly on par with them. Jeeja Yanin has a surprising amount of screentime considering that her part in the movie literally amounts to nothing; truly, she loses every fight and doesn't end up accomplishing something that others were unable, forcing me to believe that she was added to the movie during one of its many times when Production halted simply because she herself is awesome. The movie also has an odd fascination with adding CGI to this movie's fight-scenes from time to time - Honestly it's hardly as bad as you might think from such a low-budget movie industry, but it just comes off as odd for a movie that follows-up a movie that took all efforts to feel as real and lifelike as possible. And to top it all off, it's almost 2 hours long, which is criminal when all of the non-action bits are this badly done. Worth watching once if you're into Martial-Arts movies, but you'll likely only want to see it the once. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Jaa is not the same person here as in in his original movies. The action scenes are poorly executed, the CGI is laughable, the characters are boring ... It really has nothing going for it. Sorry Tony! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie had more comedy, and not as epic as the first. But that motorcycle chase scene though.
