Ako si Ninoy

As of now, the movie is being slowly withdrawn from a few cinemas. It has been certified as a flop. It would be ironic if the director were to receive an award for this movie, similar to what happened in Katips. In contrast, the rival movie gained over 700 million and achieved the third position for "Bestselling Movie of All Time," yet did not receive any awards.

Even some certified supporters of the director gave negative reviews about the movie. Several vloggers went to watch the movie to confirm that the cinemas were indeed empty.

I feel sympathy for the director, but it seems like karma has caught up with them due to the minority group promoting cancel culture because of different political views. They fail to realize that their numbers are less than half of their opponents.

I thought CATS is the worst musical film of all time. But lo and behold, here comes Ako Si Ninoy taking what is rightfully theirs! Waste of money, waste of time.

School projects are way better to watch than watching this film. The actors in this film can't act either. How did they get chosen to lead this movie? The director of this film needs to enroll in a directing class or find a new job. He is not built for directing.

If I were you, use your 2 hours wisely with your family instead of watching this trashy film. Or if you will forced to watch, bring a barf bag inside the cinema.

I want to rate this 0 but IMDB does not allow me to give 0. That is how bad this movie is.

I love this movie. I know many pro marcos will criticize this but what are they criticizing? A work by their fellow Filipinos that shows a true event that is forced to be reversed by the Marcos payments. They are the people whose ultimate souls are sold only to destroy others in exchange for money. I know that in the end they will also understand this and the truth that they must accept. This show is very meaningful and you will discover a lot about a brave President who stood up for the Philippines. Ako si Ninoy Very Good movie for me. The actors in the movie are very good and the director is very good. Ninoy Aquino A real Hero of the Philippines.

Again, the story is well straight forward but there are LOTS OF UNRELATED THINGS that I saw, like GALON OF DRINKING WATER (since it is a history, usage of galon of drinking water was still NOT available or NOT COMMON), receptionist using a SMART PHONE... Really? Smart phone at year 1986?

Plot was given, and what is new? Still character development was below and actor/actress selection is NOT GOOD, VERY BAD to be honest.

Director didn't know what he is directing or creating. I am not a director but atleast as a normal viewer, we can say which is a good movie and the not so good one, but this movie... Man it sucks!

I watches the movie and it was just like 3 of us in the cinema... (I think they are couple, and they don't even pay attention to the movie at all).

ANOTHER WASTE OF MONEY FOR ME :(

The movie might be best seen as a stage play but the attempt is surely commendable.

One will get similar feeling for stage plays converted to movie where one would at times sense that the power of live viewing wasn't as it was on the film, nonetheless, the message has gotten across too so kudos for that effort.

As to those that say this film is lacking the crucial presence of a villain, they may have missed the whole point of the film. As the entertainment piece attempts to inculcate in the viewers that we can all be a Ninoy, a hero, the villain can be anything (not anyone) for each of us; martial law suppression for Ninoy, parenthood for Noel and Ivy, capitalism for Ivy's mom, Quentin and colleagues, being away from motherland for Kuya Bodgie's character, fame for the young actor, the media obligation of exposing truth for the reporter, empathy for the poor for the doctor and passion for education for the teacher. We battle our own struggles and we, because of them, can also be heroes, a Ninoy no less.

My nephews enjoyed it. And the viewing gave us, their responsible influences, the opportunity to enlighten them and for that alone, this attempt of putting the stage to the silver screen deserves a 10.

This may not be a Steven Spielberg movie but this is a movie for all Filipinos and if Filipinoes indeed are worth dying for, the film gets from me a 10.
