Cicak Man (Preview)

Life is all about choices. 1st let me remind you that I am not paid to write reviews in this here blog...thus I at least am not forced to watch movies which I personally think would not arouse my mind. The truth is I have not watched this movie because for one I cant bare going alone watching it and second the audience appeal are to those I can never see eye to eye with.
After watching the trailer I am mighty impressed with the CG and effects used for this Super Hero effort. What I dare to say is technology wise it shows that we Malaysians are able to produce movies with special effects with good proficiency.
One of my friends happens to be one of the extras in this movie said on set the shooting is like any other movies he has had a brief appearence in (he was not involved in any of the "Green Screen" scenes). But he managed to watch the primier and I have to believe him for an effort in this movie genre it is a huge difference from XX Ray. Well, it should be mighty good then.
In my opinion the characters are typical parodies of famous American Comic adaptation movies we have seen. As to actually go to the movies and watch it... I know I won't be doint that. What I will do to justify myself is I would surely promise to get the original VCD. One sure thing is I bet Saiful Apek is super funny as ever....I was bursting with laughter while watching him "testing" the character's powers in the trailer.
What will sell is Saiful Apek and perhaps Yusry. As for the rest of the cast they were just following the directors orders. Everyone has to pay the bills right? As for me I am honestly looking forward to the next Afdlin Film "Sumolah" and Tentang Bulan some fairy tale of sorts whose main casts are all kids.
