Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca

The movie starts out okay, then slowly hitting rock bottom in terms of film quality. I wish the Quinn character would just fall from that bridge and plummet down to her agonizing death. No character development whatsoever. Cringe dialogue throughout the movie and for God sake, the product placement ruins the experience for me. The CG is okay, I only like the last part of the whole movie, when gatot fights beceng in their final super hero forms. That was the only redeeming quality in the whole movie. I'm surprised why hanung chose to have the product placement in his first superhero movie. It's just so unecessary and ruins the film.

Might be a good start for a studio name satria dewa, but please fix this movie, i dont have a problem with the visual effect, the problem is with the music and the story, the story was uninteresting and the music was so dramatic. When will indonesian superhero movie will be good? What im saying this movie isn't bad or good, its like low average.

Plenty of sci-fi/fantasy flicks revolve around finding THE ONE of some prophecy who will save the world from ...whatever. Usually it's an average young guy (occasionally a kid or young woman) who seems an unlikely, underqualified wearer of that lofty mantel. Keanu Reeves in the Matrix was probably the most famous. Yuda, the hero of this iteration of the concept, can only claim to be the most... recent.

The movie runs too long for what it delivers. It takes almost half of its two hours just to get the kid started. Then another half hour of figuring out who's who on both sides of this eternal conflict. Waaaay too much exposition for the amount of action they manage to stage; overcrowded with past and present characters involved in this existential struggle. And when the big CGI-laden fights finally begin, they're mostly in dim lighting with misty overlays, and cut so jerkily that it's hard to appreciate whatever physical skills the players may be deploying.

All of this for the first installment of an intended series. No spoiler in saying the good guys win this battle, but it's not the end of the war. The Yuda character might play well in a tighter package, but the the producers have to clean house on writing, directing and editing to make the sequel(s) worth following.

Terrible writing, mediocre acting, cringe dialogue, and too much ugly advertisements.

There is so much plot holes and unexplained things through out the film. No character development at all. I don't feel any emotional attachment to any characters. There's also two useless character that should be just thrown off.

The dialog is boring as h*ll and filled with lots of long expositions. Not follow "show don't tell" rule at all. And don't get me started on the advertisements! Ugh, I understand they need a lot of money to produce a movie, it's normal. But how they show us the advertisements is like an insult to viewers.

I'm glad Hanung Bramantyo (director and writer of this film) not directing Gundala like what it originally planned. Gundala ends up in better hands and not turning like this film.

Watching the action scene makes me headache theres too much cut to cut clip, i cant focus and its hard to figure out what are they doing.

I know, that particular way of editing is to help the action scene to cover bad movement etc but in my opinion they were doing it too much.

I dont know who's responsible for this, but for a superhero movie i think the action part is one of the biggest factor people would watch.

And i think they could've done much better for the choreography, i thought this character would have a superstrength kinda like power, that the fight will full with breaking walls and stuff intead of just ordinary martial art fighting, i think the choregrapher should've work more on the imagination of the power of the superhero, and not just a choreofighting.
