Sattar

Good Movie."Sattar: The Return of the Legendary Slap" is a highenergy Saudi actioncomedy directed by Abdullah AlArak, blending underdog ambition with wrestling spectacle. Released at the Red Sea International Film Festival (2022), the film hit Saudi cinemas in December and broke boxoffice records, becoming the Kingdom's topgrossing film-surpassing even Avatar:

Sattar is an exhilarating, feelgood triumph-a crowdpleasing mix of heartfelt underdog storytelling, authentic cultural detail, and wrestling spectacle. Its record-shattering run in Saudi cinemas demonstrates the hunger for locally grounded stories. AlHajjaj shines as the earnest protagonist, and the comedic synergy between him and Alshehri fuels the film's charm.

Yet its reliance on genre staples, shallow female roles, and occasional visual-sloppiness hold it back from greatness. It doesn't fully escape formula, but for what it aims to be an enjoyable, culturally rooted upbeat comedy-it succeeds spectacularly.

Sttar" is a vibrant and engaging film that blends comedy, action, and emotion in a unique and entertaining way. The story is driven by strong performances, especially from the lead actor Ibrahim Al Hajjaj and Abdulaziz Alshehri, who brings charisma and energy to the role. The direction is confident, and the film maintains a good pace throughout, balancing light-hearted moments with more serious themes.

Visually, the movie is colorful and well-shot, capturing the mood of each scene effectively. The soundtrack complements the narrative well and adds to the film's overall atmosphere. While there are a few predictable moments, the originality of the script and the clever dialogues keep the audience entertained.

The movie was genuinely funny and creative. The director really took care of this project, everything from dialogue to references are refreshing in Saudi cinema as it's original and feels Saudi unlike previous movies we've seen in the past. Saudi movie to the core. I laughed so much and that's a first in local movies, only egyptians managed to do that before and that says a lot. The music, my god the music was so good and very representative of both our different local cultures and the mixture of ethnicities that we've lived with here in Saudi from egyptians to sudanis to pakistanis. Telvaz11 are pushing the boundaries of Saudi cinema, a must see!

1-The story line was confusing and not convincing, the plot wasn't really interesting, i felt that some scenes were overlapping and unordered. I think that if it was more serious and had more drama scenes it could've been way better. 3/10

2-The comedy in general was good and fun, I was entertained by the main characters in this film, nevertheless, some actors were not funny and so cringy to watch.7/10

3-the music mixing was good in regards of choice, bad in regards of the volume, I couldn't hear what were they saying in some lines.5/10

-Overall rating is 5/10, an average film to watch, it's one of those movies that you should watch with your brain's shut.
