Ada Apa dengan Cinta? 2

When i watch this movie the 1st time. I expected more from the director and script writer. but end up the movie become a comedy romance movie. Cutting tempo were really distract me. The only best moment of this movie is the 45 min that rangga and cinta spending together. Other then that the story line too flat to me. Why rangga mom need to be in side the frame and its become like the big title. we understand that this movie is to answer all the question that we have before. Its have the answer but not in this kind of way. Maybe Riri Riza don't look deep into the AADC1 where the sweet and things that we want to see. To many cliché on this movie. Hope if there a continue of this and better then this.

A very huge dissapontment for this sequel for an #indonesianfilm that status is #cultfilm First, there's no Ladya Cherryl as Alya. Alya oh Alya, you're the second beautiful character after Cinta here. But why making the good character Is dead? We can wait for her to finish the film school, then filming this sequel. Maybe her talent as good filmmaker can join to write a good script for this movie, not only as an actor.

Second, the production less than a year but so hurry up for a long waited love story, makes the developing is leave a big plothole. Where story of nine years behind and logic things here doesn't play much. The comedy of Mamet & mIlly, are you going to make a stinky romance comedy, oh come on! The other actor like Ario Bayu is only sticker or red herring. You can cast another model with not big name for just a stick in cast. Maybe they choose him because he in Drupadi.

Third, the setting is only good frame for a painting. Not influence the story. This only nostalgic moments for a long parted couple in a long time. The wanderlustime traveling place remind me of 3 Hari Untuk Selamanya (that's a good road movie!). I hope the exposure of the local place in Magelang and Yogya doesn't give a load of garbage trash. Another part of setting here is the art scene. From music, poetry, arts, and coffee. In poetry I prefer the first movie, where the spirit of youth and independence is fires the generation. Eko Nugroho Art Installment is great but doesn't affect the plot. But Papermoon Puppet Theatre is the best part because they play a relevance love story just like Rangga & Cinta situation.

Fourth, Product Placement. Ada Apa dengan Client? Yes this is a great huge market and sales. All the sponsor want to advertise in this "GREAT COMMERCIAL EVER" But I feel like a chaos, can you make it more nicely? Fifth. The Title Focus. This title is about a girl named Cinta, where she has a confusion heart. This is her next story. So the scripwriter must be focus on her. But saddenly the good character she had in the first movie is lost in this sequel. You can compare another great example like Before Sunset (west side cinema) or In The Mood for Love (east side cinema). That's a great long waited sequel (10 years even more to make) where they focus on the character, the story, and the mood. Some might say, if you lost character, you lost everything.

Sixth. The Ending, fool rush in. Yeah you making a great fan service here but it's too rushy. In the end it's just like another Korean drama. I hope there's a spin off movie focus in "Genk Cinta" where Alya still alive, please Miles please.

Seventh. The Music. It's fairly not bad. But unfortunately Never as Good as the First Time. Maybe now it's get too commercial, not like when the first movie is get the late 90's sound and early noughties, Haha. But "Ratusan Purnama" is great as the first movie theme, the duo with orchestrated strings just sounds great. And the noted here is the "Bimbang" covers by the children of Titi DJ & Anto-Melly. The opening is cool, then music starts feel the 90s spirit where Potret lives.

Oh yeah in the end, maybe the goal of this movie is only for success in quantity, not quality.

If you watched the first movie, you'll be happy and dragged into the story. It's kinda nostalgic, since the last movie was out about more a decade ago. But if this the first time you watch this, you'll be confused about their story, how it was begin and end up like this.

The movie totally romantic, you'll see nice views between Brooklyn and Yogyakarta (apparently Jakarta didn't get any large portion on this movie). As i said before, you'll get along to the story, and will go deeper questioning what's going on between them after all this time? You'll be happy to see then again, i promise you. You'll miss about Alya (Ladya Cheryl) and you'll shocked after you found out about her later on.

For me, honestly i'm glad that they made this movie. It satisfied my curiosity. They're doing great for this movie, even there's new characters come, and a old characters are gone. Recommended for you who like the old movie. And if you haven't see the first AADC, i suggest you to watch that first before you planning to watch this movie.

So, first things first I'll say feel free to judge this movie as you see fit as I will judge this one from my point of view as a pretty die hard fan.

Let's speak frankly here, first of course the movie isn't perfect. Heck it's not even close to the first one. Why? Because the condition is not like what it used to be. We're not here to see "Geng Cinta" as a bunch of happy and innocent high school girls. They are adults now.

Second, I agree that it felt a bit rushed in the production, bunch of plothole and all. Still though, for me you can't cover all those years lost in Rangga and Cinta's love life in just about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Third, well I do miss Alya as she was the one who tied the gang and still supporting Cinta to chase after Rangga and made all of this possible. Because she can't join the shooting she was written out of the second movie, well I can't blame the crews though, they have schedule as well here, so that's that. A shame, but the shooting must go on.

Lastly, "it's too much drama". Well IT IS A DRAMA MOVIE, so don't complain about the amount of drama in the movie, instead I'll say this: How they handle the drama is actually not bad. Yes it's cheesy but isn't that what romance movie does? Creating a cheesy situation and then end it with a fluttering romance in your hearts? And I must say that they did it pretty good.

Oh and 1 more thing that I love from AADC 2 is that the product placement isn't that much disturbing, it is proportionally placed and actually feels pretty natural. Also I love the Soundtrack, Melly Goeslaw and Anto Hoed did a decent job again in the series, well done! So, I would recommend the movie to others, first and foremost to the ones that had watched the prequel. For me it's 8/10.
