Dilan 1990

This is probably the most popular movie in 2018. Since the movie release on cinemas at Jan 25th 2018, it's been trending on the social medias and everyone been talking about this movie. Like the title, this movie set in 1990, where Dilan met Milea in high school. The cheesy but sweet romantic words from Dilan to Milea are ones of the movie highlights. Iqbaal Ramadhan and Vanesha Prescilla are success to potray Dilan and Milea, their chemistry in this movie are really convincing. Iqbaal whose been underestimated before, can prove that he is the right one for Dilan character. Lots of people from different generation are really enjoy the movie. It is the movie that you can watch repeatedly and never get sick of. Me personally have watched this movie 5 times and some people even have watched more than 30 times. Isn't that sick? No wonder why this movie gets approx 6,3M viewers in less than 3 months. And even it is already out from the Indonesian cinemas, some of the "Dilanisme" (Dilan fans) still manage to put the movie back in cinema and watch it again. Dilan 1990 has captured a lot of people hearts. And i hope it will happen again in the next Dilan movie, Dilan 1991. I just can't wait.

First of all..this movie is a financial success. Very popular in Indonesia. And that makes me think..are Indonesians really that dumb? Ok..what's the positive thing about this movie? The acting from the female lead is decent..and she's easy on the eyes. Other than that..none. The story is so cheesy and the male lead is so unlikable I wanna punch him in the face! And the dialogues..urghh. After halfway of the movie I got out from the theater to smoke a cigarette for like 15 mnts. I just dont care about what happen next or the ending. This movie is trying so hard to be the next 'Ada Apa Dengan Cinta'..and failed miserably. Please just stay away from this garbage..

Never read the novel and been hearing the hype. I finally found it on Netflix. The acting of Dilan character is very bad. This character is already a stalker (creepy). Add bad acting, unnatural speaking tone (what teenager speaks that way?!) into the mix and you end up with a creepy stalker instead of a charming rebel. Other than this, the story telling is a drag, not engaging. I tried to enjoy this movie but it's so bad that I couldn't justify the time I spend (read: waste) to watch it. I don't recommend it.

This movie is the most iconic romcom of my generation in Indonesia, as many people from all ages know it and people love to quote Dilan's famous pick-up lines in daily life. In my opinion as a teenager, this movie is cute and funny, but very cheesy and predictable. I like Dilan's character, he's funny and unique but his pick-up lines are so cringey and overrated. As for Milea the female lead, her character is pretty boring and such a typical damsel in distress. Also, the book is better than the movie.

This movie is so popular for female teen in Indonesia. They hyped about it since the trailer was out. It's maybe to cringey and cheesy for adults, but the promise of seeing a good looking playboy who gives riddles and pick-up lines and looks like he cares nothing but their relationship is what makes them fall head over heels for Dilan.

The technical problem is how the setting not arranged effectively so it doesn't feel nostalgic enough for those who had lived trough 1990s. I even see cars from 2016-2017ish. And I think the girl protagonist may have to advance her acting skill too.
