Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa - review



Been able to watch the movie of "Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa" or The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines (HMM) on the 1st night HMM officially premiered!

Outside of the cinema... everyone gettin excited to watch the most wanted, waited movie since it is a very COSTLY movie (RM8 millions)...

WARNING:- SPOILERS ahead... if YOU haven't watch the movie & willing to accept the consequences... YOU ARE ALLOWED to stay & read... heh!

First of all... I have no intention to compare HMM with any international epic's movie such as LOTR or Narnia or perhaps POC...

And it's been awhile Malaysia didn't produced such a movie after "Puteri Gunung Ledang".

Adapted from our local history, an ancient Malay literature that chronicles the bloodline of Merong Mahawangsa and the foundation of the Kedah, a state in Malaysia

da movie:-

The story line is superb... is about a hero named Merong Mahawangsa, who's been asked to escort a Prince of ROM, Marcus Carpenius to meet his bride to be, Princess Meng Li Hua.

A chaos occured when the Gerudas attacked them & kidnapped the Princess...
And the story lines begin to expand...

For me... thou HMM tryin to focus on Merong... but I think the supporting actor & actress are more good compared to the hero.
Big applaused to Kamawas, Embuk, Ying Ying

I am so regret & feelin sad watching the transition scene of mode in HMM... totally SUCKS & more likely unfinished work of slideshow...
I mean... come on... you managed to produce such a technology movie... but yet, the flow of the movie... my guudness!
Perhaps... shooting this kind of movie type... I don't think 52 days is not a GOOD IDEA at all!

Not forgetting... the SCRIPT... both in English & Malay...
Definitely... not good e'nuff...
I just can't believe... it is so damn TERRIBLE!
Never thought that... KRU Studio's got problem to produce such a proper (at least...) English & Malay kuno language...
I mean.. come on... you guys already produced so much songs & English album...
I read in few interviews... saying that da production been doing research almost more than a year (for REAL?)

But.. I do SALUTES & RESPECT the action packed scenes & the props, especially Geruda's territory!
Totally awesome!
