Gayong

A bit fell short for me after all the hype, sorry. I guess i shouldnt have put up too high of an expectation. Epilogue was so exciting but kinda went down from there. If like me, u like local war movies for the likes of Bukit Kepong 1981 or Leftenan Adnan (and these probably had less budget and technological advances back then) please proceed with the mindset expecting something less. Probably better experience if u have the mindset to just simply enjoy the martial arts performance (actors were good). Dont put expectations on the storyline, script or technicalities of production. Sorry hope this is taken positively as a constructive comment as im hopeful that our local industry only soars to be better in the international scene. But definitely A for the effort!

Overall The Action of this movie combine with has Silat. Muay Thai. Karate. And Kung Fu All In One was pretty Mid. But for a little low budget For this movie i think it'll give it a shot. Beto did a well done and along with Other actor such as yayan ruhian. Eric Chen. Plus with International Actor. The Cinematography. Script. Was pretty decent For This Movie. Not too many good to Said. But Compare To Mat Kilau I can said It's Almost The same energy Expect different concept. But for this movie I'll give it a solid 7.5/10 it was pretty Mid-good movie. But they can improve more for upcoming movie.

It is a good film, based on legendary figure in Malaysia, a silat grandmaster. I think it have a lot of potential, but maybe because of a low budget so it looks cheap and "can do better" feel because the director is a well experienced director so how much epic ca he do with a tight budget? If we want to talk about a weakness, sure there is a lot of weakness such as poor cgi and anything but we cant deny how meticulous they want to make the fighting scene to make sure it looks really good and stylish. Anyone expect for this movie to at least looks the same par as Mat Kilau must remember that this movie is about the journey of malaysian silat grandmaster, its totally different theme. With very low budget.

Honestly, I don't aspect so high for this movie.

But Gayong the movie is the great movie to watch, because it shows us all the details that happen in WW2 and what is the things that happen to Tanah Melayu when we in 1939-1943. For example the movie will show you our culture, what do we have to fight when 2 colonizers in our homeland. The impact of the film for me is we should protect our homeland, don't be selfish, learn martial art not to fight but to protect your family, region, and homeland. In my conclusion we should watch this film to make sure the spirit of bravery and protector rise in our self.

Powerful and culturally rich film that truly showcases the essence of traditional Malay martial arts. The storytelling is compelling, blending heritage, discipline, and emotion in a way that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The choreography of the silat scenes is authentic and beautifully executed, paying homage to the art form while still delivering cinematic excitement.

The cast gives strong performances, especially the lead, who brings intensity and heart to the role. The cinematography captures both the action and the cultural setting with elegance, making it not just a movie but an experience.

This film is a proud representation of Malay identity and tradition. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates martial arts, cultural films, or just great storytelling.
