Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca

Terrible writing, mediocre acting, cringe dialogue, and too much ugly advertisements.

There is so much plot holes and unexplained things through out the film. No character development at all. I don't feel any emotional attachment to any characters. There's also two useless character that should be just thrown off.

The dialog is boring as h*ll and filled with lots of long expositions. Not follow "show don't tell" rule at all. And don't get me started on the advertisements! Ugh, I understand they need a lot of money to produce a movie, it's normal. But how they show us the advertisements is like an insult to viewers.

I'm glad Hanung Bramantyo (director and writer of this film) not directing Gundala like what it originally planned. Gundala ends up in better hands and not turning like this film.

Watching the action scene makes me headache theres too much cut to cut clip, i cant focus and its hard to figure out what are they doing.

I know, that particular way of editing is to help the action scene to cover bad movement etc but in my opinion they were doing it too much.

I dont know who's responsible for this, but for a superhero movie i think the action part is one of the biggest factor people would watch.

And i think they could've done much better for the choreography, i thought this character would have a superstrength kinda like power, that the fight will full with breaking walls and stuff intead of just ordinary martial art fighting, i think the choregrapher should've work more on the imagination of the power of the superhero, and not just a choreofighting.

Cringey, lame and disconnected script, very lame jokes (I couldn't believe they could make Rigen and Butet, very funny comedians, to sound lame and weird), cheap and obnoxious advertisements and product placements all over, weird lighting and angles and continuities, storyline and acting like a low budget sinetron (telenovela), out of place and unnecessary characters (Quinn is annoying as hell), over the top but weird action scenes, awkward editing, and the list goes on.

I couldn't even force myself to finish watching this movie (I'm writing this as the video is playing, over half way through the movie). Was actually looking forward to see a good movie in this topic and story, instead I ended up cursing and being confused more and more as the movie plays.

All in all, a total disappointment.

To those who give 10/10 stars, I can only assume you either work with the production team (and/or sponsors) or are very supportive of someone you know that's related to them.

Gatotkaca is the First Instalment of Satria Dewa Universe, This Movie a Lot Many Problem.

Story or Script is Really Bad, Directing is Fine, Acting is Cheesy and Cringe (This Acting Looks Like Soap Opera or FTV), Cinematography is Fine, Editing Camera is Really Bad and Broken, CGI is Failed, Production Design is Good, Gatotkaca Costume Design is Okay (Kinda Captain Marvel Little Rip-off), Sound and Music is Really Bad, And The Most Annoying in Movie is A Lot Many Commercial or Ads.

Overall, A Disappointing Indonesia Superhero Movie, I Giving Score is 6/10, The Next Satria Dewa Movie Arjuna is Gonna Be Better Than Gatotkaca.

The movie starts out okay, then slowly hitting rock bottom in terms of film quality. I wish the Quinn character would just fall from that bridge and plummet down to her agonizing death. No character development whatsoever. Cringe dialogue throughout the movie and for God sake, the product placement ruins the experience for me. The CG is okay, I only like the last part of the whole movie, when gatot fights beceng in their final super hero forms. That was the only redeeming quality in the whole movie. I'm surprised why hanung chose to have the product placement in his first superhero movie. It's just so unecessary and ruins the film.
