Keluang Man

As a Gen Z who never watched the original Keluang Man series, I went into the movie with zero expectations-and came out absolutely blown away.

This movie is hilarious AF. Like seriously, I haven't laughed this much in a local film in a long time. The comedy was on point, the timing was brilliant, and the way the characters were written? ICONIC. The jokes landed hard, and the cast really delivered. It didn't feel forced or cringey-it was genuinely funny, in a very Malaysian way that totally works for this generation too.

I honestly feel so proud watching it. You don't need nostalgia to enjoy this. Even without knowing the OG storyline, the movie stands strong on its own. It's entertaining, well-paced, and full of charm.

And let's be real-most of the people who are out here criticizing the movie? Yeah, they probably haven't even watched it. It's easy to hate from the sidelines, but once you actually watch it, you'll get why people are loving it.

So from a Gen Z who's new to the Keluang Man legacy: this movie is an absolute banger. Go watch it and laugh your heart out.

In my opinion, the movie is worth 7.5, but I have given it a bonus of 0.5 more due to the nostalgic references.

I watched this movie in a cinema alone, but I genuinely believe it is worth watching with your children or family members.

The story is simple yet possesses good ideas, and the implementation is commendable. However, the third act could have been better and more impactful. The relationship between the characters and the audience could have been strengthened with a more satisfying ending. I hope that in the sequel, they can eliminate some of the excessive elements while adding a touch of greater seriousness.

Given that Keluang Man is a mental patient, the overall tone of the movie should not be taken too seriously, unlike DC or MCU films. Nevertheless, it could be improved.

The visual and audio aspects are undoubtedly exceptional and stand out. The fighting scenes could be enhanced by employing more angles and choreography in future installments. It is advisable to avoid excessive CGI to enhance the viewing experience.

The actors are all exceptional and perform exceptionally well. While the jokes may be clichéd for critical thinking viewers, they are, in fact, quite humorous and realistic.

Overall, this movie offers an enjoyable and entertaining journey. I highly recommend it.

This is an underrated film that deserves more recognition. It's light and entertaining, but what makes it special is the strong sense of nostalgia it brings-especially for those who grew up in the 80s and 90s. It really takes you back to your childhood, when local heroes like Keluang Man were a big part of our lives. Don't expect explosive, high-budget fight scenes like in typical Hollywood superhero films. This isn't about that. It's about heart, humor, and Malaysian charm. That said, the fight scenes that are included are still impressive and well done. A refreshing local superhero film that stands out.

The overall cast delivered convincing performances. The character Borhan, played by Nas-T, came across as somewhat average and less striking compared to the others, although his acting still played a vital role in the story. The focus on the five main characters was well-executed, with each given a clear and meaningful role in the narrative.

The plot, while somewhat predictable in parts, managed to retain its appeal. The storyline was structured and cohesive, allowing the audience to remain engaged despite anticipating some of the twists. Still, there were a few plot holes and some editing choices that felt a bit off.

The action sequences, however, felt slightly excessive, with three distinct battle phases that bordered on repetitive. The second battle, in particular, began to feel tiring, but~ though the final act slowed its pacing just enough to allow viewers to re-engage and enjoy the conclusion.

From a technical standpoint, the CGI was not particularly polished, but it wasn't overly distracting, as it appeared in less significant scenes. The product placement-particularly of the Wanda brand-felt somewhat excessive, appearing in three scenes and slightly pulling focus away from the story.

As a popcorn movie, especially for fans of local action films or those familiar with the "Lelaki Kluang," this is definitely one to watch. It deserves an 8/10 for being entertaining, satisfying, and even amusing at times. However, from a more critical cinematic perspective, the film scores closer to a 6/10, as its visual storytelling lacks the depth and refinement needed to truly stand out-especially for new audiences.

Still, it's a film worth watching and stands out among many current local productions.

Everything I ever imagined about Keluang Man came to life in this movie. He's wild, unpredictable, and at times downright crazy - just like he should be. But when things get serious, don't even think about challenging him. Many might mistake him for Batman, but make no mistake - this isn't Gotham, and he's no Bruce Wayne. This is Keluang Man, and this is his world.

Nas T was born to play Keluang Man. He delivers the role with intensity, humour, and a hint of madness that fits perfectly. The patients in Hospital Tumpoi - abg Butak, Wahid, Azlee - each added their own chaotic charm. They weren't just comic relief; they were central to the soul of the story. Maria and Mariana stepped in as solid support, grounding the chaos when needed.

The lesser-known actors who played Dr. Malini and Inspector Sahab carried their roles surprisingly well, holding their own among a colourful cast. And the music? Perfectly curated. Every song hit the right note, enhancing each scene's emotion and energy.

Most importantly - Kita Enjoy! This isn't a film you overthink. Let go, let your mind wander, and let Keluang Man pull you deep into Borhan's world. A world where madness isn't the absence of sense, but a different kind of truth.
