3.0 out of 5 stars Dubbed in cockney..., 16 Mar 2006

By	Charles Wolf "Lupaster" (Italia) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

The movie is interesting, but it sounds like Asterix & Obelix in a thai version. Fight seens are good but the whole thing lacks of a peak. It's the first film of this kind (that I've seen) based on historical facts and it's not chinese or japanese, it's thai and you'll notice the diffrence.

One thing that I really couldn't stand it's the dubbing..
The accent, pronunciation and interpretation of the voices is the WORST I've ever heard. You can tell it's someone from London trying to fake an accent with no success at all...
Result: you find yourself laughing in a very serious scene because the last words of the dying warrior sound like cockney... Terrible.

To conclude, it's not going to leave you with a smile and the dvd ruins with the dubbing a good part of it, but if you're into asian movies, worths a look.

3.0 out of 5 stars Remember the Alamo..., 26 Feb 2009

By	Mr. A. M. HOGG "MORS VINCIT OMNIA" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

*some spoiling*

And I am sure the Thai's view the legend of Bang Rajan as *least* as fervently as the USA does the above.

This film however does suffer from a few problems. It is not paced very well. The beginning feels shoehorned in. Now, I'm not always a fan of big lengthy, detailed introductions. But Bang Rajan goes a bit quickly on the voice/text intro, and then slows right down for lengthy build-up.

Much of the action seems realistically bloody, even if not all of it is totally believeable. For being based on real events, some more explaination of the causes and effects would have been nice. Also, the "we're good, they're bad" solid rule is firmly in place. I don't expect the Burmese to be painted in a particularly favourable light in a film like this, but a bit more of "why" would have been nice. Also, the village eventually gets wiped out, but the Burmese fighters are almost universally incompetent. But they win in the end.

All that said, characterisation is good despite dubing so bad it forced me back to subtitled original language (which is often a preferred choice anyway).

Summary: a refreshingly different take on the old "righteous fight against probably impossible odds" idea, somewhat hampered by some technical and aesthethic issues.

Story is good and action sequences are very good. Dubbing is poor. For people looking for a good story of outstanding odds and great bravery, here's one for you. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so much Bang as fizzle
The story is heroic.

That deserves to be on a line by itself. The only problem with the film is that the characterisation is not convincing. Not one bit. Read more
