Tamnan Somdej Phra Naresuan II: Prakaad Israparp (The Legend of King Naresuan II: Declaration of Independence)
- Directed by MC Chatrichalerm Yukol
- Starring Captain Wanchana Sawasdee, Nopachai Jayanama, Inthira Chaoroenpura, Napasorn Mitraim
- This movie is much easier to watch and enjoy than its prequel, mainly because there's enough action and unintentional comedy to smooth the same flaws that plague the first movie. Since there are no more child actors around, the acting has also generally improved. What this movie really lacked though, is a capable villain. The villains here are all either totally incompetent and/or lack any screentime. So there are really no challenge to King Naresuan's battles. The "rifle scene", which should have been a classic, if done right, also fell way short of its potential.
- Overall, this movie is your average war movie that is still too overlong for its own good. The only really unique thing this movie did was setting up a scenario where tribal VooDoo headhunters must fight with Mon Amazoness warriors.....in Thailand...with wire-fu actions even! Truly an international epic! -Comment written by Dear-

Naresuan 1 was a great movie, brillian setting and beautiful scenes, felt like an adventure of three young kids in a country seiged by war and a foreign ruler. Naresuan 2, however, is an otherwise good movie but it truly lets as a war movie, the scenes are too slow, too confusing, towards the end where it becomes really hard to make out who is fighting who. There are some really nice parts in the movie though, but all of them had nothing to do with the war footage itself, and wierd where the secondaty characters appear as to be having more importance than Nerisuan himself, it should have been a movie named Rajamanu and Princess Lekin, Naresuan himself looked like a side-show compared to them two.
