Watched this movie over the weekend thinking that it might be not too bad. The book was relatively decent so I assumed the movie form would be fun to watch as well. The movie was nothing like the book. The script writer for this movie added and cut scenes where he saw fit. Omitted parts of the story that would have added to the movie and made it make more sense. The movie seemed full of cheesy one liners. The fighting scenes were terrible, and some of the key fighting scenes seemed to be made from pieces of other movies. If you read the book and enjoyed it then don't waste your time with the movie. If you want to see the movie, you may wish to consider only reading the book because it makes more sense and is a far more enjoyable read.

The Protector
(2005)
Only reason this movie deserves a 5 is because it has Tony Jaa...
9 September 2006
Only reason I would give this movie a 5 is because Tony Jaa is pretty awesome, fight scenes with him are very enjoyable. The main reason I disliked the movie had to do with the way they did certain parts of it. Without going into too much detail, they had Thai actors lip syncing to English voices that were amazingly accent free. Movie would have been much better if the Thai actors had spoken bad English, the lip syncing was terrible. Many parts of the movie don't really make much sense, why would poachers take an elephant to Austrailia? But if you want to see Tony Jaa in some pretty cool fight scenes, then you might as well watch this movie. If you want to see a movie that makes sense then see something else.
