Malaikat Kecil
(2015)

Great in making family drama
First time I watch this movie is on television, and I dont have expectation watching this movie...

The story is bond with a big message but the creator doing well with the storytelling, and not making it 'cringey' in my opinion...

Dwi Sasono (Budiman) and Tika Bravani (Siti) and their children give good performance in playing the family in this film... And I want to appreciate Dwi Sasono great acts in here playing "Autistic Father." I literally cry a lot for his act.

This movie have a great set up for the drama in the ending.. No matter how many times I watch this movie, I still crying watch the ending...

13 Bom di Jakarta
(2023)

Yes to Trailer, No to Movie
This is my dissapointment about this movie. First, this movie didn't have good introduction at all... And the motivation of the characters are not that strong.

For a 2 hours long, this movie couldn't make a great character development, and I think its because in here there are too many unimportant character, I'm even confused till the end who exactly the main protagonist was...

Sorry, but Angga Dwimas missed the opportunity to make this as good as his previous movie (Stealing Raden Saleh). In this movie Angga is seems to be bound with cryptocurrency message.

If you watch the trailer, you will see how exiting it was in that 2 minutes... But the whole movie? Its the opposite of watching the trailer. I skip many unnecessary dialogues and some moment in here...

Tukar Tambah Nasib
(2023)

Surprisingly Not Bad
This series have a different genre than usual Indonesian series, but its not a bad one actually... I really enjoy watching it.

Appreciate the director and the cast for executing their job really well, espesially Naya (played by Aghniny Haque) for playing another characters.

The comedy is the one bringing me watch this series, and its quite funny to see T1 and T2 interacting with Naya.

For the characters, some of them feels like not important enough in here, for example Nina's Boyfriend, he is not that important to the story. While watching every episode, I really hope there will be switched character perspective after Naya leaving their life...

And this series is quite enjoyable to watch for me..

Ratu Adil
(2024)

Story Good, Cast nah...
This series could be as good as "Pertaruhan" or "Serigala Terakhir" series.

First, I wanna talk about the story and how they telling it. The story is good, but how they telling it was too fast. They start telling story from the past, or the beginning of the 9 Dragons in the 80's.

For me it was too fast, I couldn't even recognize who is who in their youth until the end of the series... I don't know young Wibowo look like or young Andi Syah look like...

Then, from the visual, it was an good action movie, not so bad... The choreography too, its good and its not a cringe fight... And for Indonesian series, this is already good for me. But sorry to say, in the ending when Elvara fights Kevin, its so irritating that she think she is Maddog from The Raid, changing gun fight into fist fight...

The one who shot Oka first is Rio not Alex, but Rio never apologize to Lasja or admitting it... Is that supposed to be a plot for next season or what?

The only perfect cast for this series is Budi Ros (Wibowo), Dian Sastro (Lasja), Agra Pilang (Arturo), Nino Fernandez (Oka), and Andri Mashadi (Kevin), they played their character well in here... For others I really feel some of them did overact as a cast in here...

Here some example, I thought with many old actors, acting shouldn't be problem.. But turns out many of them doing unnatural acts.. And Khiva Iskak (Mario) have a cringey and naive character, but he is not played the character that good in here, unlike he played Irfan in pertaruhan...

The actor who overacts a lot in this series is Hana Malasan (Elvara). Okay, I know her motive is to revenge to Kevin for what he did to her, but she doesn't need to glare in almost every scene. If she only glared when she was angry or crying, I would be fine with that, but here every time...

Last, when she got shot, she really over react to it lol... And you can comparing it with how Kevin got shots...

But overall I like the series, beside that over act thing... I really hope if there is new season, it would be better than this... This has to be Indonesian Action series minimum quality...

Damaged
(2024)

Cheap, and...
Cheap story with poor storytelling and visual for a cheap twist lol.

Samuel L Jackson in this movie couldn't carry the whole movie alone with his regular acting in here... This movie just selling his name, and I feel pity for Gianni Capaldi, because this movie protagonist is actually him but he isn't in the poster lol, proving my point this movie is selling Samuel's name...

What I hate in this movie is there are so many evidence wall in this movie, usually it supposed to make this movie looks cool and great, but when it came to poor movie like this one, it doesn't work...

My only compliment for this movie is, this isn't as bad as The Collective movie with Tyrese Gibson, I still watch until the "cheap twist" ending in here lol...

I wouldn't bother to watch if I know this movie is this bad, its not worth watch...

Kung Fu Panda 4
(2024)

Feels rush, and no good development
The premise is good, its about Po finding his successor while he needs to defeat the shape-shifter... But the storytelling of this movie isn't not that good and feel very rush to tell.

The movie start from Shifu telling Po to search for his successor is still okay, but suddenly Shifu has gathered the candidates out of nowhere, unlike the furious five in the first movie...

The villain need more introduction scene like Tai Lung, Shen, and Kai in the previous movies. And the goal of Chameleon is like 'duh'.. And she is so weak as a villain, the only reason Po losing the first is just for the plot...

Usually after Po losing, there was like "there is no secret ingredient" moment in the movie, where Po needs time to think, but in here its not that deep and the criminal from the city gets to ruin the moment.. Because they are really useless if you think about it, they just defeating the outside guards and watching whole fight after...

Zhen in other hands, her attitude change is very fast for someone being the bad one since a kid...

And from most of the scenes, it have too many jump cut, too many unnecessary shot, made me feel it is so fast and hard to enjoy. And the visual, it combines too many styles of animation and visual, we know the style of regular Kung Fu Panda animation in 3D or 2D is the same in previous movies, but in here... It have too many style and effects.

For example why suddenly Po fight the lizard in silhouette, why there is so many versus clashing effects.

Many villains from previous movies are back in here, but you know what more annoying? They change and give Po respect after defeating the weak Chameleon. I mean look at Tai Lung, Shen, and Kai in their previous movies, and I don't thing they will give Po respect like that lol...

Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film
(2023)

Appreciate for Brilliant Fun Movie
First 15 minutes of the movie, I thought it would be like One cut of the dead, where the story is the same as what the character filming... But its not like that apparently...

For a slow pace movie its really worth to wait and watch the ending, and I didn't expect the ending of the story. Yandy Lauren is a great writer and director in making this film... The cast is really suit themselves, and that makes the characters chemistry is very good on screen.

And I don't care black and white thing in movie, because its just the same for me, as long as the story is good like this. Because what makes movie really great is the story.

Its a very fun movie, recommended to watch... And the last thing, appreciate Yandy Lauren for making this brilliant movie...

Road House
(2024)

A good remake movie with okay improvement
The story is base on the original one from the 1989, and the change is not so huge, so it was okay story for me... For the characters, I was about to afraid at the beginning but turns out it was just my first impression...

And like the original movie, the characters in town really suit themshelves, except Ellie... Her character in here feels like not needed at all except for saving Dalton from his father. Unlike in first movie, Elizabeth was not a regular people from town but have a chemistry with Dalton.

Jake Gyllenhaal experience in acting world really carried this movie. The pool scene at night, Jake really deliver the line really really great, and with his background story it really made the line sounds good. For Conor, not that bad in acting, and bring enough comedy for this movie. Good enough to recommended.

Road House
(1989)

A good 80s action movie
I just watch this movie after I watched the remake with Jake Gyllenhaal. And for the 80s or early 90s movie, this is so good action movie actually...

The action not so bad and realistic enough except for the throat part haha. The drama feels okay to me, and for some reason I like the people of the town interacting with each other, that makes the revenge story more impactful... For Dalton himself, played really well by Patrick Swayze

The story is good enough, and this movie really fun to watch for audience like me, because it not full action and really get along with the drama story of the town. Really recommended to watch.

The Beekeeper
(2024)

John Wick movie with no good introduction
Revenge movie, but I feel the motive not strong enough.

Another Statham's movie where he revenge for someone he knows. John Wick have a really long introduction, but this Beekeeper have about 1 minute interaction with a random Granny, and I don't think that can carried the story like John Wick with his dog.

Basically Jason 'Beekeeper' Statham is a though guy who doesn't use gun only hand or something else. And there's duo FBI, but doesn't look like FBI. They don't look smart, they don't look capable doing their job. They really like gossiping about their target a lot, like really 25% of the movie was they gossiping this Beekeeper.

The villain, nuh uh.. The son of President of United States of America, lol. They say he's untouchable, but nuh uh... The writer decide that he will have a stupid and talkative bodyguard. Many times Adam Clay (Statham) in this movie can be killed, but the guard did many stupid move like talk a lot, I mean just shoot the gun bruh.

And for hunting President family, its really easy tho, like in the mansion, we saw Adam Clay punch a few bodyguard "Secret Service" who bring shield, but they cut the scene, so we assume they already dead with Adam Clay Punch and kick.

Galaksi
(2023)

Romance No, Drama Yes
First time watch I skip the movie, and here is the review of second time watching the movie.

When the first I watch this movie, I really feel every highschool movie is cringe... And this one is the same haha...

But the drama from half to end of the movie really good. Bryan (Galaksi) and his Father Donny Alamsyah really doing good at the family drama.

Donny is really good actor, this isn't his fighting movie, and the acting really deep for me... He really a trully actor in this movie. And Bryan in the other hand, besides he doing many cringe romance movie. His acting on the family drama really good too.

But Mawar Eva (Kejora) in this movie feels like just an extra character. Her story is not explored further, and apart from that, its a good movie.

Radio
(2023)

Not Worth to Watch
The premise of this film is too forced. "radio that can narraters the person who listened to it" I mean.. Really?!

The character is, as usual, a poor high school student who moves somewhere in the village and meets some bad guys and bullies at his school... And even if you watch the first episode, the way the character finds the radio is very forced.

Even though there are many well-known Indonesian actors and artists in this film, it doesn't help the story which isn't well planned.

The visuals are not good, the color grading is worse, and it's like they downloaded free LUTs from the internet and put them into this movie.

And why does the music always sound like so intense, even when the scene isn't that deep? I think maybe they're out of free background music.

I don't think they are trying so hard to make this series. There are so many references to making a thriller series... You can watch "Katarsis", or maybe the "Rumah Dara" movie which is better than this.

Bruh, I really hope Indonesian make some good quality thriller, action or horror series.

That's my genuine thought, actually, I have a lot of bad thoughts every episode, but there it is.

Jin & Jun
(2023)

Another Cheap Aladdin Story
As usual a highschool movie with poor protagonist and the enemy some bad bully rich boys. I hate that, too predictable...

CGI of course, its Indonesia, its poor. Very poor... ex. When Jin fixed Jun's face in transportation car, you really can see the cut, and the shockwave trying to cover it up.

Even though it was made in 2023, Indonesian CG skills still can't make a CGI movie like Jim Carrey's The mask. They don't know how to do morph, what they thought about making CG movie is just adding some transition and element green screen from youtube.

Story is worse, comedy situation was 'okay' but that making the dialogue sounds stupid. Anggy Umbara keep making trash after making "Sabar Ini Ujian."

And I don't know why they make a post credit scene for another soap opera movies, this movie aint that good for having a post credit scene.

Expend4bles
(2023)

A bad comedy film
This is not some action movie, very different than other expendables movie.. They pushing too much in tradtional action move and comedy dialogue, that they forget the important was the story and the natural dialogue...

Story really bad, again about betraying, now suddenly woman name Gina appear and unlike Doc in season 3, she is really bad character... We even hasn't seen her action but suddenly she become the temporary leader...

Christmas just get kicked and get another job guarding fat streamer? Really???? Is Chrismast really that broke??? Out of context from the story and you bring this nonsense fat streamer??? I really hate that part, because they even show it again in the middle of the movies showing guard watch the streamer...

Galgo is out of business, you don't need to change it with his son or anything.. don't use something that you don't need... we don't need this Galan guy to see the comedy, because the full movie was a joke.

This year is the worst year of action movies.

The Collective
(2023)

Too many trying
The director seems doesn't have vision in making this movie... He try to make a good movie, of course. But it was just trial and leave it error afterall.

There are many scene look awkward and cringe, the first one is the knife on the cage, I mean I don't feel threaten by that situation... Tyrese cringe slow motion scene...

Many plot armor, like how even the enemy can't reload their own gun... Guys with rifle apparently use it like it was short range weapon, they need to fire it not get close to the enemy...

The lines in movie are trying to be cool but make it worst, its okay to be cool but make it natural please.

And of course the detective wall of evidence and a knife on someone head, it really makes the movie very awesome right?

I don't know why Tyrese took this movie, because it was weird for seeing him in here... He have so many action movie, but this one is not even the good one. He did many cringe shot, ex. A new agent talk to his backside for try to be good shot.

96 Jam
(2023)

Fantastic series ever!!!
The story is really meaningful. Its about big bad rich teenagers with their good behavior towards others, a school with broken system, kidnappers with their stupid brain to let themselves get recorded by a girl, and about poor people with their kindness (as usual ofc.) but stupid at one side also.. hehe

The cast is absolutely nailed it... I think they choose many internet personality to play the characters. They really good doing acting, that I say wow so many times watching their acting.... Never in my life saying wow this much...

I notice some blur city to connect shots, its really a great concept, I didn't even know they planned it or discovered it while working on set.

The good guy, maybe its police Idk... Their technology is so advance like the one Avengers use... Also I'm a little bit confuse why the villain boss doing many unnecessary poses? Is he an actor or a model of a boutique?

I couldn't watch it anymore, it makes me cry... nice job everyone.

Yakhanyeongung
(2022)

Something Wrong
I know this story is not full based on the original story. In the beginning I'm disappointed because there is no Eunjang boys, but its okay because this is the backstory of Yeon Si Eun. And it so much different from the comic, Soo Ho in here is a fighter and never get pushed from rooftop by a bully.

I don't know why. Si Eun in here always holding pen, in the comic he use the pen just one time against Haiba, but in here Si Eun Yeon like to holding his pen to intimidates his enemy. And in the comic, Si Eun is more calmy and well prepared before he go to fight, in here he is more aggressive.

The fight overall is good, Si Eun fight on the first episode is the best in the whole series, and I dissapointed again I'm not see Si Eun first fight in Eunjang on last episode.

The music is like nah for me, I don't know the soundtrack, but I feel the music they use in few last episode repeated for many times.

If there new season I would definitely watch it because weak hero is my favorite comic now, and I hope it'd be better than this...

Black Adam
(2022)

Great but not that great
I know in this era nothing is original, but watching this movie, really makes me felt that the writers combining many element from another movies.

The story is good enough, for the comedy not so, it feels like it was forced to be funny like what Atom Smasher did, and Sabbac is a cliche character and villain.

Maybe DC fans will hate this, Doctor Fate and Hawkman really makes me feel that they're trying to be Doctor Strange and Tony Stark, I mean we don't know their chemistry before the story begin, so its not really deep when one of them sacrifice himself...

Overall I enjoying it, and it was cool for me.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
(2022)

Why she talking to the camera?
Why? Does she thinks this is comedy series? I'm not laughing watching this, so why she talking to the camera??? Episode 3 is out, she thinks this is her show, no.. I'm more interested in Wong life in the Kamar Taj Library, than her "professional" attorney life... Just give us Matt Murdock already...

Why she just accept that she is becoming hulk in episode 2, it doesn't make any sense. She wants a normal attorney life, but she didn't even that panic when she become hulk.. I think the story want to getaway with it, the writers just want Jennifer Walters accept her fate. And I don't think the shapeshifter case was that important...

I don't care about the CG look by the way.. But I think I know why the CG is so poor, I think is because they really serious making She-Hulk dance natural..

Buldojeoe tan sonyeo
(2022)

Everyone is annoying.
Bon Jin daughter is very smart in here, she is very talented. But her attitude is very annoying, and rude. But I allow it because I think I know why she behave like that.

But, everyone around her is more annoying. Her father is useless, okay maybe he raise her until she become a teenager, but he didn't care about family. They're on money crisis, but he still bet on horses. Even he also talk rude to his daughter.

When she ask a question kindly, and then they just ignore her, talk rude to her. Hospital worker are very rude and talk very loud in hospital. The victim's mom is a scammer too, and I think the hospital was scam too.

I also upset with the annoying aunt that angry to Bon Jin daughter, its all his father fault, why you angry at her? The bully that punch her is very coward. And I don't what he is, but the politician was the most bad human in this movie Arghhh

Why everyone is not realize that her family is so poor, no one care about it, they just want money.

Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight
(2022)

"Dragon Master" is so weak
In the last film we know this panda is very strong. But here he is even weaker than he was in the first film.

How hard is it to beat 2 stupid weasels? He once defeated a wolf with a sword.

And I thought about this.... Po should still be called Dragon Warrior even though he's already a master. Why not call him "Master Po" instead of "Dragon Master"... that's quite a mess for me.

I know it's a series but for such a big franchise the animation is crappy, no better than Kung Fu Panda the Legend of Awesomeness.

Pertaruhan: The Series
(2022)

Enjoy to watch, but...
This series is very enjoy to watch, the comedy is different but good enough for me, the fights is good, and the story is okay, but many scene makes me confused. Like when Ical killed Abah, why he didn't get caught by the police??

But I found the smoking was too much, like every scene in the market there is always a smoking character, I mean smoker doesn't smokes every time.

At the end, there is so many unnatural and unnecessary dialogue, the action was very bad, elzan go to fight but he just take the kick and punch... I mean its a fight, why don't you fight back? That was bad...

And after all that Ical was forgiven, even Ara forgive him... Come on, her brother just die and she forgive him and ask him for help... And again where is the police?

Season 2 edit Its been one years since the first season of this series, some of my questions already answered in this second season. And you know what? The series improve a lot, the story, the technical things, and the choreography was really improve.. I added two more stars for this series

The fight really not cringe, comedy is like the first season its different but good. The characters really improve a lot and ending was really really good. Hope there is new season...

The Man from Toronto
(2022)

Enough for Kevin Hart!
Why Kevin hart role always become the coward. I mean, its enough Kevin Hart. You always act as a coward like Ride Along, Jumanji, Central Intelligence and now this. What? You can acting beside coward role?

The premise of it always the same, a coward meets a brave person, then they become more open to each other and then they beocme a friend.. Comedy its not just become a coward... Kevin hart you can do more than just a coward role.

John Wick
(2014)

Epic Action Film
Maybe this review is little bit unfair because I like action genre. But this is how I feel about this movie.

From the beginning of the film, we know that this person is someone we shouldn't mess with. And although it's a bit long when introducing it, it's really worth watching. The story telling with the visual and great audio.

Then when Viggo introduces John Wick is the best scene for me, the feeling when you know something epic will happen. Great, very great.

Uncharted
(2022)

Worst "I dont trust you" Plot
I thought Raya and The Last Dragon about trusting people was a bad movie, but it turned out this movie is to be even worse... There is an old man who is not wise as an adult... The film is full of "don't trust people, you will be betrayed," and the scene is I betrayed you once, I betrayed you again, please don't believe me... worst plot ever. And a lot of very unimportant "give me the key," "I won't give you the key" dialogue.

And the keys are the compass doesn't makes sense.

All Nathan wanted was to meet his brother, but the stupid old man kept thinking that he wanted gold, and would betray him.... it's very clear that the weird old man and the woman who committed the betrayal, went back to "I can't believe you guys." bad, very bad.
