I had high hopes in this movie, but ended up very disappointed. Hanung Bramantyo is not the right director to make a superhero movie! Keep that in mind, the next time you try to make another one. Where should I start? So many bad points to poke around, so little time. First of all, the character development wasn't deep enough to make the audience care enough about the protagonist. Second, the background story wasn't very clear at the beginning of the movie, that when it was explained, it was already too late. Third, so many inconsistencies in the fighting sequences. Sometimes the protagonist was so weak, that even the thugs can kick him around. But sometimes he gets so strong that he can defeat the boss level enemy with one punch. Fourth, the fighting sequences are so hard to follow. Probably because of most of them are played in the dark. Next time, use better lighting, even if the place is supposed to be dark. I had a hard time figuring out who got hit, the bad guy or the good guy, cause it was so dark! Fifth, it's a superhero movie with a very weak protagonist. Even when he got his special weapon, he still got his ass kicked by the enemy. And the other characters weren't that good at fighting the bad guys. It's annoying to see the good guys get kicked around so easily and the bad guys thrives. Overall, this movie sucks big time! I'm so disappointed. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars is because I don't want Indonesian movie makers to stop trying to make a good superhero movie. Let this fiasco be a lesson to make better ones in the future. Learn from experience.
