Fight scenes (in my opinion)

Don't get me wrong, the fights are good. Especially the one shot fight scene up the stairs. That is a masterpiece of work. But I think when you compare the choreography and speed of execution in these fights to the fight scenes of The Raid and The Raid 2, Gareth Evans, Iko Uwais, and Yayan Ruhian have constructed the best fights of any films. Including Tony Jaa films. Will be interesting to see Jaa's work in The Raid 3 (assuming he is actually cast for it).

This is just my opinion! No offense intended to serious Tony Jaa fans. Anyone else have any thoughts on the subject?

For the most part I think you may be right. But the fight scene in the temple is a fight scene that I would put up against anything in either Raid film and it would be equal, if not better.
