Wiro Sableng 212

I grew up as teenager in 1980's and I knew Wiro Sableng character from the novels. When I watch this movie it feels nostalgic to remember the memories of adolescence. The opposite for my teenage son, who grew up with Marvel comic characters, Batman v Superman movie, and Avengers films with super sophisticated CGI techniques, they were rather unable to enjoy this film.

This Wiro Sableng film is very extraordinary in terms of artistic, camera system, lighting, and the natural beauty presented. However, the scenario is a lot of holes and deficiencies in terms of building character to be recognized by laypeople who do not know the characters in the novel Wiro Sableng.

Don't expect too much to introduce the character of Wiro Sableng's stories to the international world, many Indonesian teenagers alone do not fully understand the characters displayed in this Wiro Sableng film. The uniqueness of Wiro Sableng's combat skills and Wiro's inner sanctum identity search should be explored in depth.

Wiro Sableng movie Director is supposed to learn from the movie director "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" movie which was able to make the lay audience understand the deep character and the complicated storyline without having to read the book's own story. Another example is the SWORDSMAN film in the 1990s played by Jet Li. Although ordinary audiences never read the original novel, the audience understood the names of the characters and the greatness of the characters through the Swordsman story.

Many lay audience who have never read Wiro Sableng's story are confused with many characters that appear because of "being forced" to appear in a very limited /short of time, without explanation of the background of the characters and the background history/review of the greatness of each character's combat skills.

I am very proud that Indonesian films can cooperate with international film distributors. Screenwriters and directors should be able to display more in-depth information about the uniqueness of the character with the perspective of a new audience who have never heard of the story of Wiro Sableng.

Most viewers who are able to be fascinated by this film are people who already understand the story of Wiro Sableng. But for lay audiences and teenagers who have never known the novel character Wiro Sableng will be confused with the appearance of characters which are explained in the novel but there is no explanation in the film so that the unique characters in the novel only appear very shallow and as if only a supplementary figures.

I hope a lot from this Wiro Sableng's Film producer. Hopefully, if the sequel will be made, it can involve international class actors such as Iko Uwais or Joe Taslim. The movie director needs to learn a lot from the movie director: TSUI HARK in terms of storytelling techniques; or learn from William Kong; Hsu Li-kong; Ang Lee when they make "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" movie.

Plus: super great fighting choreography, good visual effect, beautiful scenery views, good and steady camera placement, but sometimes it got too close. Minus: lack of the acting skills for the young actors; you can really see the different level between senior actors like lukman sardi, dwi sasono, yayan ruhiyan and the youngsters, lack of character development, lack of background story of the main villain (the sinetron version was sooo much better). poor line selection especially wiro's dialogue (it feels so cringey because he spoke like modern people while the rest of the cast using formal language. Again, the dialogue in sinetron version win by far). Some of the intended comedy can't be delivered successfully. Wiro sableng was supposed to be an action comedy, so they should do the comedy and characterization more wholeheartedly. Overall, it was an Okay movie. If the producers want to make the sequels, the most important thing is to work on the acting skills.

As a reader of the novel and following his TV series, of course I am very much waiting for the presence of this Wiro Sableng film to be released. This film in my opinion has succeeded in elevating the Indonesian film industry to a higher level by making higher standards. With the help of 21 Century Fox, it's no wonder that this film has a classy taste. Cinematography, action action or choreography, music score. Everything is cool. But there are indeed some things that should make this film even better. Like the story plot that is less neat, the characters that need to be improved, and the colossal impression that feels less grand. Hopefully it's better in the sequel later.

For some people who watched the series in the past, this movie is very nostalgic we can see this film made with such great effort, acting the from the casts is really amazing especially yayan ruhian, ruth marini and vino bastian itself as crazy wiro

some effects may not be perfect, but this is already very good

it's just that this film has several weaknesses, including: too many characters but not deepened, jokes that are sometimes not hit, I hope the sequel can be made even better

CGI is smooth.. i like the effect , watching this movie is like watching mortal combat but in Indonesian hero version :D

my childhood was comeback very interesting for the next sequel...
