Ejen Ali the Movie 2

This movie is really good. The story has many emotional touches that surprise us with unexpected developments. In addition, the storyline is not just about a hero versus a villain but also includes an anti-hero, commonly known as a vigilante. The entire narrative also makes us reflect on social perspectives regarding the true nature of good and evil. Moreover, the animation in this movie meets international standards, making it a visually engaging experience.

To the producers and the entire team at Wau Animation, you have all done a fantastic job in delivering such an exciting experience through this movie. I hope you continue to create more amazing works, and we will always support you.

The storyline quite complex and dark so had to rewatch many times to digest. Graphic and animation got improvement than before. The movement and emotion for every characters looks smooth and realistic. Audio quality will be top notch.

Wau never stop deliver emotional scenes for fans. Every characters got balanced screentime this time. My feelings were like rollercoaster because the plot twist were too surprising. Recommended to watch the previous series with movie to understand the second movie. I love how this movie portray value of friendship.

Overall, I felt pure goosebumps and dont forget to watch 2 credit scenes at the end.

A beautiful storytelling of an animated character trying to understand his emotions and friendship while navigating through new challenges of being a young agent.

Each character being portrayed meticulously and showcased the talent behind the creation of this movie. The soundtrack is beautifully produced and placed at the exact moment that brings out the movie even better.

A movie that is definitely worth to watch more than once and worth watching with both young and old generation. It touches the heart and surprised many others. Love the movie wholeheartedly and impressed with beautiful animation.

Great animation and solid storyline with meaningful themes, but the film leans too heavily on non-stop action. While the pace keeps things exciting, it leaves little room for character development or emotional moments to truly land. The lack of humor also makes the tone feel overly serious at times, especially for an animated film. It's visually impressive and well-crafted, but a bit more balance between intensity and light-heartedness would've made it more enjoyable. Worth a watch, but not very memorable. The secret characters reveal is underwhelming and didn't live up to fans expectations .It's lacked "wow"Factor.

It's truly a proud moment when a local animated film like Ejen Ali The Movie 2 premieres alongside international titles (if you notice) and still commands strong attention from the crowd. For those of us who grew up in a time when Malaysian animation barely had a presence in cinemas, this milestone feels monumental. WAU Animation has once again proven that Malaysian studios can deliver world-class quality.

Visually, the film is a stunner. The animation is smoother than ever, with detailed lighting, expressive motion, and dynamic cinematography. There's an evident step-up in production values, and it shows in every frame. (I am super excited even from the first raining scene!)

And the highlight for me? The S. A. T. R. I. A. suit.

I absolutely loved every moment involving the new suit. The design is not only sleek and modern, but also carries subtle cultural elements that make it uniquely Malaysian. But beyond the looks: it's the powers! Each core ability of the suit brings a new level of excitement to the screen. Watching Ali master these features one by one is thrilling and satisfying, especially for longtime fans who've followed his journey since the early days.

Story-wise, the film builds on Ali's growth as a hero, diving into themes of responsibility, leadership, and internal conflict. The direction is commendable, but I personally felt there were some missed emotional opportunities that could have elevated the narrative.

A few emotional moments, meant to deliver an impact but arrived too suddenly, with minimal buildup. One emotional scene in particular feels a bit forced and out of place, which slightly weakens its overall effect.

Additionally, a core friendship-themed song is introduced early in the film, but its placement feels underutilized. Had it been used during the film's climactic emotional moments, it would've amplified the feeling the story wanted us to feel.

This stands in contrast to Ejen Ali The Movie 1, where the placement of "Kita Jaga Kita" was completely unexpected, perfectly timed, and injected emotional excitement - giving the scene an unforgettable weight. (Not to mention the hilarious iconic mamak maju scene + soundtrack)

When it comes to the villain, EATM2's antagonist feels more distant and less evil. While the threat is real, it lacks the raw emotional connection and performance weight we saw in Niki from the first movie. Niki's struggle, pain, and motives were deeply felt, her presence lingered long after the credits. The new villain here is intriguing but doesn't leave quite the same mark.

That said, the soundtrack overall is still solid, especially "Hanya Kamu." While it may not be as instantly iconic as previous themes, it carries emotional maturity and becomes more impactful with repeated listens. (I must admit watching the trailer repeatedly hyped me up and I was expecting Bangkit! Echoes as Ali regain his spirit to win the battle once more) Better placement within key moments would've made a huge impact! Both to the story and to the song!

Not to mention some of the key figure we all have been waiting for years, could've carry more weight and significant to his presence.

In structure, EATM2 vibes feels more like a continuation of the series rather than a tightly-contained cinematic arc.

Conclusion

Ejen Ali The Movie 2 is a proud achievement in Malaysian animation, visually masterful, technically solid, and packed with action. And A MUST WATCH for every Malaysian! Will I watch it second time? YES! Third time?? Still huge YES!!

While it doesn't always hit the emotional highs of its predecessor, (EATM 1 sets the standard really high I still can't move on) it still offers an entertaining and meaningful experience, especially for those who've followed Ali's journey. (Since day 1! Now Im 35 years old)

From one the biggest fan of Ejen Ali, Thank you WAU for all of your great and hardwork!! May the production thrive for years to come and may this movie hit box office and gain its spot at the top tier.

Final rating: 8.5/10.
