Keluang Man

I have watched this movie twice and i truly enjoyed watching this film mainly because of the storyline, jokes and choices of song. Though I'm not a big fan of action movies I felt the action is of top tier and people behind this film are brilliant and talented. I wish there will be a sequel for this movie as I want to watch a real life girlfriend of Borhan and also Tiong his sidekicks. I am a 90's kids of course I have watched the Keluang Man cartoon hence I'm able to appreciate the skits in the movie. To me I adored Keluang man due to it is genuine and it has Malaysian essence where respect,love and family bonds play important role in our culture. He fits the criteria of a Malaysian hero, a strong, funny and sweet guy.what i learned from this film is to move forward, acceptance and finding our true self are the essential components.

Some people out there really expect the Keluang Man live action to be exactly the same as the original cartoon same tone, same style, same everything. Like bro... it's a live action, not a frame-by-frame remake. You can't just copy-paste cartoon logic into real life and expect it to work.

The original was meant to be fun, a bit wacky, and exaggerated. That works for animation. But once you bring it into live action, you've got to adjust the tone - make it more grounded, more cinematic. If not, it'll just look cringe or cheap. So expecting it to feel exactly like the cartoon? Not realistic lah.

I get that people have nostalgia, but the director isn't making this just for old fans. He's trying to reintroduce Keluang Man to a new generation with a style that actually fits modern storytelling. So instead of whining that "it's not like the original," maybe try appreciating the new direction first.

Also the CGI. Yeah, I won't lie, some parts definitely need work. Certain scenes looked rough and not fully polished. If they want that serious, realistic vibe, the visual effects need to match. Right now, it's halfway there, but still feels like early draft level in some spots.

But even with that, I give credit to Anwari. He dared to do something new with a local hero, and that's not easy. Just hope for the next one, they really level up the effects and keep pushing that bold.

The plot, for me, was okay. There were metaphors, elements of tariqat (spiritual path), and interpretations that vary depending on the individual. It's quite deep. Maybe for those who weren't born in the 80s or 90s, it might be a bit hard to grasp the humor and nostalgia.

There will definitely be comparisons with Deadpool or Avengers, but this is Malaysia version. Keluang Man originally was a Malaysian cartoon show for kids, so naturally, it holds nostalgic value for those who grew up in that era. Even though the storyline differs from the cartoon version, the movie is actually more interesting.

I adore the CGI,what fell short for me was just the cat. Everything else was actually okay. Of course, you can't compare it with Marvel, the budget is a whole different league. For Malaysia production, Keluang Man is considered great, especially with how it represented Malaysia's multiracial society.

They really did their best to bring in elements like Malay Silat, Malaysia love for 90s Bollywood, and true Malay characteristics,even the hero clearly has strong Javanese Malay features, not mixed.

As usual, many people like to compare it to Marvel's level, which is crazy considering the massive difference in budget. Just because the cat failed, people immediately assumed all the CGI was bad. If the cat wasn't there, I think overall the CGI would've looked much better.

Of course, there are some flaws here and there. That's normal. Overall, I liked it. It was enjoyable to watch,especially the fight scenes for audiences who may not fully grasp the philosophy behind the plot.

The overall cast delivered convincing performances. The character Borhan, played by Nas-T, came across as somewhat average and less striking compared to the others, although his acting still played a vital role in the story. The focus on the five main characters was well-executed, with each given a clear and meaningful role in the narrative.

The plot, while somewhat predictable in parts, managed to retain its appeal. The storyline was structured and cohesive, allowing the audience to remain engaged despite anticipating some of the twists. Still, there were a few plot holes and some editing choices that felt a bit off.

The action sequences, however, felt slightly excessive, with three distinct battle phases that bordered on repetitive. The second battle, in particular, began to feel tiring, but~ though the final act slowed its pacing just enough to allow viewers to re-engage and enjoy the conclusion.

From a technical standpoint, the CGI was not particularly polished, but it wasn't overly distracting, as it appeared in less significant scenes. The product placement-particularly of the Wanda brand-felt somewhat excessive, appearing in three scenes and slightly pulling focus away from the story.

As a popcorn movie, especially for fans of local action films or those familiar with the "Lelaki Kluang," this is definitely one to watch. It deserves an 8/10 for being entertaining, satisfying, and even amusing at times. However, from a more critical cinematic perspective, the film scores closer to a 6/10, as its visual storytelling lacks the depth and refinement needed to truly stand out-especially for new audiences.

Still, it's a film worth watching and stands out among many current local productions.

Consider this movie was pretty good but somewhat little bad. But not much only for some certain Scene that don't fit or not on point. Stepping into the world of Keluang Man I was immediately transported back to the vibrant childhood days. But Since This Movie Was Set To New Era So I think Its pretty Decent. And This movie is a delightful. Funny and to the beloved Malaysian comic character, blending nostalgia with a fresh, lively energy that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. Tone is light-hearted yet infused with moments of earnestness, making the movie accessible to audiences of all ages. And plus With Some Cameo That Are kinda Worth it and somewhat good. The film's score and soundtrack are lively and memorable, enhancing the emotional beats and action sequences alike. Special effects and editing work seamlessly, making the superhero escapades feel exciting yet grounded. Of course, as with any film, there are moments where pacing could be tighter, and some jokes may feel a tad predictable like Deadpool. Well maybe little. However, these minor flaws are easily overshadowed by the film's genuine warmth and charm.

So In Conclusion. It was Pretty good Movie. I'm rating this movie a good solid 8/10. Kinda Well deserved for our superhero Keluang Man by NAS-T.
