Movie#1: Cicakman
Great visual effects. That was the first thought that came to mind after the movie ends. But the sad thing is, that's the only thought that came to mind. Not that it's a bad movie, (Yusry did a great job on the visual effects and directing) but it left me feeling wanting more as i feel that this movie has great potential.
The story revolves around Hairi (Apek) getting superpowers from a cicak he swallowed in his coffee and then decides to go against the evil Prof Klon. Apek, as usual is funny as well, Apek. The movie has its funny moments, but not laugh-a-minute kind of movie. It's enough to get you awake throughout the movie.
Yusry tried to incorporate a few themes (action, comedy, drama) in the movie (ala Spiderman). But the editing seems a bit choppy. I can't seem to feel the emotions they tried to display.
By the way, Fasha has the looks, but her voice irritates the hell out of me.
Overall rating: B-
Movie#2: Cinta
The movie with all the hype and great reviews. Well, sad to say it kind of bore me a little bit.
But i have to say, the editing is good as the story of a lot of people involved (i seriously can't remember how many!) intertwined nicely. Some say this movie is a malay version of Love Actually. Well, sort of. Unfortunately, some where in the middle, the storyline gets a bit dragging to me.
Great acting all around especially from Rahim Razali. Even Rita Rudaini is good. Sharifah Amani: after watching this movie, i don't think she's a versatile actress. Either she acts the same as she's in Sepet/Gubra or the character is made that way. Either way, her character bores me.
Unlike Cicakman, this movie did bring out some emotions in me; not much but i think it's enough. Did feel a bit sad for the kid in the movie after Rita Rudaini decided to leave her husband.
Again, Fasha looks good but that voice!
Overall Rating: B
