Mousa

An unexpected film from Egypt. Clear cultural differences in characters and character development. It's funny to read the other reviews here. So many obviously fake supportive reviews. That being said it is an interesting and original idea and I imagine a bit controversial in the country since their own government is their main enemy today. I don't think Egypt wants Mousa coming after the corrupt government and religious leaders who betrayed Arab Spring.

I can't really comment on the acting since I am watching subtitles. There is a young lady who is one of the leads who is gorgeous and has star power. Honestly didn't get her name but can see her having a career far beyond this little movie and Egypt.

An Egyptian attempt into superhero genre, inspired by Hollywood blockbusters like IRON MAN or CHAPPIE.

Story wise it was quite messy with an annoyingly awkward & extremely shy character on the lead (the engineering college student who invents Mousa, the robot). It seems like the team behind the film wasn't much sure of the idea and how to actually plot & execute it with a sensible & engaging approach.

Though there's a college professor who was kinda against him for some lame reason but there was actually no clear antagonist in this film. Although there was a plot element that could have been use as a tool to make it interesting; just for a change, by turning it into an anti-superhero or vigilante film (!)....like a evil group of people gets hold of that robot and somehow manipulates its creator (Yehia) to serve their interest only, resulting the thin line between right & wrong, justice or plain vengeance eventually gone blurry. At the end it would be the protagonist's journey to rectify his mistakes, finally make some better decisions and becomes the hero that he deserves to be.

The story of the movie is really a good one but in my opinion, directing and editing have destroyed the whole movie. I felt like I was watching an unfinished release of the movie that a music video clip would tell a more solid story. I appreciate the idea of making something new to the Arabic cinema screen, however, that doesn't allow you to make it in a badly neglected way in 2021!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching the new upcoming movies under this series.

Nothing new here...all this movie's main selling point is that it's a CGI movie from the middle east.

A nice attempt to make a different Egyptian movie.. although, they didn't succeed that well.

It could be better, the scenes are moving very fast, sometimes without any explanation.

What i liked the most is kareem's act and his expressions.
