Great historical drama from Thailand, the America version was edited and presented by Francis Ford Coppola.

Okay, too bad it's actually called The Legend of the Tsunami Warrior, but whatever. It really did have potential, however the dubbing was horrible. At times I felt like I was watching an old Godzilla movie. The subtitles weren't much better. There was so much narration that the subtitles were actually behind by a few sentences at the begining and it had problems keeping up throughout the film. It was pretty kewl with all the fight scenes and the special effects weren't too bad either.

Such a beautiful culture although rough and strict. Suryyothai is a woman princess / warrior who leads her people into battle. It's a love story and filled with betrayal, revenge, bitterness and courage.

A very rich history. I love the plots there. If you like to sit down and learn all about Thailand soap opera with a little of this and that, this movie is for you!

Grand movie but it'd be better if I've done some researched before watching it.

The original 5-hour Thai production-version showed a slice of history in Thailand. I visited Sukhothai and Ayuthaya in Thailand to learn more about Thai history.

This is a great looking movie (costumes, sets, cinematography) but I was left so confused throughout that I just can't recommend it. I believe tighter editing and pacing would have definitely helped to make this a very good film instead of a near-miss.
