Mantera

Actually, my headline is a lie. This movie sucked in every way possible: the special effects, the plot line, the HORRIBLE lifeless wooden acting, the sub par out of sync dubbing .. and just about every other aspect of this movie. But don't believe me, please. Rather, watch it for yourself and come to your own conclusion (that way, I don't have to suffer alone). If you can make it through the entire movie without pausing to take a mental break, stopping the movie entirely, or screaming out in pain, then you are more of a manly man than I.

This movie is unfortunately a rip off of so many others that came before it. The transforming motorcycles: Mospeada/Genesis Climber (or Robotech third gen). The nano suit: Crysis. The leader of the enemies: Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget cartoon fame.

Someday, the people that wrote this movie will find out that the US government is using it to torture "terrorists" (or whatever the US government decides to label their latest and greatest made up enemies) and send them a bill that will finally result in this catastrophe being profitable.

I'll keep my review short. This movie is like a fart in the wind. You never seen it coming but leaves you in utter disgust!Ready to vomit everything on the floor. I would rather go play leap frog with a unicorn than have to sit through another 10 minutes of this repulsive compressed turd of a movie. I guess this is what i get for having high hopes in what I know should not exist. The moment the intro scene was revealed it was like that feeling when you have a near death experience and lost in broken thought frantically trying to find either the stop or pause button, luckily for me as soon as I was about to rip my TV off the wall my foot unplugged it saving me from having to buy a new one.

Yeah sure, it is derivative, but what movie isn't? Poorly dubbed, yes. It has a few niggling problems, but nothing compared to huge movie franchises like The Lord of the Rings, Marvel, Xmen, Star Wars etc. Just enjoy it for what it is, a mecha movie.

Actually, this movie could have been better. But the plot ruined this poor movie thoroughly, and the pointless action scenes aggravate it. I'm extremely disappointed with this movie tbh. I was expecting there to be epic battle scenes like in Transformers. However this movie's amazing fight scenes are only the hotel battle in Dubai and the final fight, and they ain't even the best. The rest of the movie is just filled with dramas and pointless acts which are boring. Since this is an action movie, there should have been more brutal battle scenes. I'm sure this movie would have a higher rating if it has more battle scenes. Also, the story is so forced. I don't like the story honestly, it's weird. CGI is not consistent. In some scenes, it's pretty decent. But at the other scenes, it's a big mess.

I used to fall in love with this movie when I watched the trailer and see the poster. But I was to cry after I watched the movie. I just wasted 2 hours on this boring drama. And I felt very sorry with the cool Mantera robot to exist in this bad plotted movie.

Sorry Mr. Filmmaker, I'm don't mean to insult this movie. I'm just telling you feedbacks. You know, when you receive a feedback, your self awareness will be activated. And your self awareness will urge you to improve. I'm sure you'll create better movies in the future after receiving these painful yet brutally honest feedback.

This is a great movie and how it's performed with great actions.
