    Sattar review

    Sttar" is a vibrant and engaging film that blends comedy, action, and emotion in a unique and entertaining way. The story is driven by strong performances, especially from the lead actor Ibrahim Al Hajjaj and Abdulaziz Alshehri, who brings charisma and energy to the role. The direction is confident, and the film maintains a good pace throughout, balancing light-hearted moments with more serious themes.

    Visually, the movie is colorful and well-shot, capturing the mood of each scene effectively. The soundtrack complements the narrative well and adds to the film's overall atmosphere. While there are a few predictable moments, the originality of the script and the clever dialogues keep the audience entertained.

    Highly recommended

    Very funny movie, the suspense, the relationships and the drama is strong and I was very impressed as the movie made me laugh, hold my seat tight and It seems there was flying ninjas cutting onions on some scenes as my eyes were dropping.

    My problem with the movie is that I can't really take hogan seriously with his over acting and the fact that he is Ali G ripoff it's completely unoriginal and unnecessary, secondly is Khairallah using an older caricature which also felt they were out of imagination.

    All in all, the movie is great fun and would highly recommend everyone from all ages to see and enjoy.

    Interesting

    Good, excellent, i like it. The story follows Saad, a young man with a mundane job and a dream that's far from average - he wants to become a professional wrestler. Stuck in the daily grind of office life, Saad's life takes a twist when he decides to chase his childhood fantasy, setting off on a hilarious and chaotic journey to make his mark in the world of wrestling. To fulfill this wild dream, Saad crosses paths with shady trainers, makes odd friends, and deals with bizarre opponents in his quest to prove himself.

    While the core story may appear simple, the film manages to balance laugh-out-loud comedy with inspiring character growth, giving the audience a protagonist to root for.

    Average Movie

    Here's your review with all special characters removed (e.g., punctuation, symbols):

    ---

    Just an average movie Not much to say about it really because it is very mediocre but a good effort from the actors With more investors the industry can flourish and bring more quality it will take time and efforts to reach there

    By mid 2023 it reportedly earned around 107 million ranking at the top of the Saudi 2023 box office calendar illustrating a notable shift toward locally made films beating out Hollywood blockbuster

    Strengths Ibrahim AlHajjajs performance His comic timing and physical commitment including a 15 kg weight loss make Saad a charming relatable underdog akin to Simon Peggs

    Energetic fight choreography The underground wrestling scenes are physically intense creatively edited and visually dynamic a highlight for action fans

    Cultural authenticity Producers emphasize real Saudi settings vernacular dialogue and localized music particularly the use of Sheilat tracks during key entrance moments

    Fun supporting characters Ali Hogeen offersp comedic reprieve while coach Abdul Khaleq adds gravitas and mentor energy

    Weaknesses Predictable structure The underdog sports formula is familiar New opponent introductions tend to drag pacing and female roles notably Saads fiance Falwa are underdeveloped stereotypes rather than fully formed characters

    Visual and musical limitations While the Sheilat songs energize scenes the background score is sometimes generic The cinematography feels serviceable rather than stylistically elevated which may disappoint viewers expecting more polished visuals

    Artistic critique Some film critics question whether Sattars commercial explosion equates to artistic innovation arguing it added little to the artistic evolution of Saudi cinema despite its entertainment value.
