Cicakman:The REVIEW
I'll admit , I am a movie buff , I've been loving movies all my life and blessed that I currently have someone who enjoys movie as much as I do ....there is however a BIG `but' in this context .
You see , the few Malay movies or better said local movies that I've ever went to the cinema to watch are :
Pontianak Harum Sundal and ...well just pontianak harum sundal . I watched Pontianak harum Sundal 3 years back when Anson was still doing his CPU in Taylors . Two guys ,going to a cinema to watch a local horror movie , now I know why Jovina said that we were gay . Check my testimonials in the beggining and see what people said about me and Anson ....a nightmare .
After Pontinak Harum Sundal ....which was no where near any horror movies that I've seen ( although maya Karin was hot ) ...I never went to see another local movie ..till CICAKMAN came out .
I love superheroes and movies that shows the impossible possible . Spiderman ranks as one of the best movies I've seen and so as the LOTR trilogy . Fantastic . The Matrix , Incredible Hulk , The MASK and all the other super here movies are just such a delight to watch ...Imagine yourself having super powers.....Ok, maybe not for you , but I always wished I had the powers of Son Goku ok ( have I exposed too much here ? )
Tadaaa, was the long winding story of how much I liked super heroes ........and even after that ....even after liking every single super hero that I've ever seen , even this guy who wore a bullet proof underwear whom I saw in Astro .......Cicakman was a huge letdown for me .
WHY ? There was freaking no action!! What kind of super hero movie that has no action ? Makuku , the Cicakman was scared of Rubber Bands !!!!!!!!! What kind of a super hero is afraid of rubber bands .....OMG .
Oh My Gawd ......
The CGI effects was on an average grade . What can I say , after being exposed to so many HOLYWOOD big budget movies...Cicakman was a huge letdown giving the fact that I already given a lot of slack to the producers .
I'm not gonna write a whole long review here but ...NOT recommended...



He's scared of rubber bands?!
Oh ya, sometimes people shoot cicaks with rubber bands mah...
LOL..

Of course la you idiot, that's why the producer promoted it as a Comedy Superhero movie. Rubbers, Saiful Apek as the superhero and even the poster highlighted it as "Comedy Superhero" ...were all signs that this movie is not like the rest of the Hollywood movies with USD hundred and millions in production budget. Give Malaysians a break.
