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.

I'm not afraid to say I love this movie, the only thing lackluster was it's action, which honestly with the comedy and pure gold it was, it wasn't that noticable.

The acting was obvious and tailored for the theme of the movie, who cares if it's flat or unemotional, the movie clearly intends to be a comedy.

The comedy is what got we, I'm smiling like a fool throughout the whole thing, I'm not going to spoil much, but it's a delight to watch this, truly the best movie I've watched thus far this year, and the Easter eggs from high counsil was very nice.

Honestly looking forward to whatever pasal productions had in the future, both their high council series and kahar movie are my favourite media from malaysian studios, I absolutely love this movie as well.

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.

Everything I ever imagined about Keluang Man came to life in this movie. He's wild, unpredictable, and at times downright crazy - just like he should be. But when things get serious, don't even think about challenging him. Many might mistake him for Batman, but make no mistake - this isn't Gotham, and he's no Bruce Wayne. This is Keluang Man, and this is his world.

Nas T was born to play Keluang Man. He delivers the role with intensity, humour, and a hint of madness that fits perfectly. The patients in Hospital Tumpoi - abg Butak, Wahid, Azlee - each added their own chaotic charm. They weren't just comic relief; they were central to the soul of the story. Maria and Mariana stepped in as solid support, grounding the chaos when needed.

The lesser-known actors who played Dr. Malini and Inspector Sahab carried their roles surprisingly well, holding their own among a colourful cast. And the music? Perfectly curated. Every song hit the right note, enhancing each scene's emotion and energy.

Most importantly - Kita Enjoy! This isn't a film you overthink. Let go, let your mind wander, and let Keluang Man pull you deep into Borhan's world. A world where madness isn't the absence of sense, but a different kind of truth.

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.
