07/13/2016 Its got lush surroundings and excellent set design and costumes, but with the visual feast of everything comes piss poor acting. Everyone is wooden and there are a lot of characters, so its hard to keep track of all the double crossing and plot lines. Its rumoured that there was an original 5 hour cut, but this version is enough for this viewer.

The follow up films about King Naresuan are better and more action packed. See more 10/17/2011 As a Thai, I cry very much. It is not about the customs, the plot or anything, but the courage, the love and self-sacrifice. I am very proud of being Thai. This one is better than the legend of King Naresuan as it is more historical than the other one. I need the King to express more how much he loves the country and want to set the people free as in Suriyothai does. By the way, was it the armors really like that back then? Isn't it historically wrong some how? I don't know, it does not seem right. See more 08/03/2011 Great costumes. The acting is engaging for the most part, but Suri's final battle is laughably terrible. After a two hour build up seeing the title character end so lamely was a big let down. Very long, but worth it for those interested in 16th century Thailand. See more 05/03/2011 Huge, big budgeted historical epic depicting the life of Princess Suriyothai in 16th century Thailand. The film charts her marriage to Prince Tien, and the changes on the throne until the King's high consort plots to seize power and Princess Suriyothai is forced to act and rally the troops against the threat from neighbouring Burma. There's a lot of story to pack in here - Coppola's cut trims the original five hour version down to a more manageable 2hrs 20min - but it's told simply and effectively, and the tone remains studious throughout reflecting the importance of this time in Thai history.
