Cicakman. Most of us must've dismissed it with a chuckle. Yeah, it does sound ridiculous. Haha. But tht didn't change the fact tht it still peaked my curiosity. So I got Wei Shern, Wei Lyn & Jo to watch. We took the 1120 AM one. Reaching the cineplex, it was filled with Malays. ALL Malays. I knew they were here for "Cicakman". Lol. Saw a girl frm 2T too. In fact, she sat in the row in front of mine.
*Spoilers ahead. Altho this will deter you frm reading on. Haha.
Abt the movie. I hve to say. It's good. Really. For a local effort, it's a movie to be proud of. I've only watched two M'sian movies: "Sepet" and this. So far, so good =) Tho Saiful Apek doesn't really float my boat, he did serve for comic moments. CIcakman itself has quite impressive abilities, except tht they HAD to hve sumting tht makes him weak (i.e. Suuperman's kryptonite) but making it "getah" (rubber) is kind of stupid. Jus cos kids "lastik" geckos with "getah"? Oh well. The scene whr he tries to figure out his costumes are funny. Haha. Wei Shern & Jo were laughing the loudest. They're so easily humoured.
Both Ginger Boys didn't make an impression at first, but as the film moves along, their scenes become funnier. Especially the part whr they hang rubber bands linked together to form a chain! And also whr we found out tht the Ginger Boy tht translates (he speaks in three tones for each word, so it goes lik, high pitched, normal toned, and low... get it? Yeah, it's strange =D) for the other (tht speaks in the form of hand signs and gibberish) tht he steals Prof Klon's letters only to collect the stamps. Hahaha. Me & Wei Lyn didn't realize at first, until Wei Shern & Jo (of cos) started laughing again, then we understood. No one else in the cinema laughed. I guess the Malays really don't get it.
Most annoying has got to be Aznil Nawawi's portrayal of Prof Klon, the villain. His sentences are always followed by "Ha... Ha... Ha..." or "He... He... He..." or sum form of an annoying laughter. His scenes really irk me. You'd jus wished his scenes were shorter. And his suits are jus downright ridiculous. All the patterns and same colours. Horrible! Lol.
Supporting characters aren't very interesting. But the funny parts are the Menteri's who are cloned. The way they act are reminiscent of young kids. Haha. The funniest scene (for me) is the Cicakman clone. If you listen properly, you'll hear the fellar fighting with the real Cicakman and speaking in Cantonese, "Lei mo kau cho ah. Sei yen tau." Haha. Tht is SO funny. I guess tht's for the Chinese audience, altho apart frm the four of us there was only one other couple. Then when the Cicakman clone speaks in Malay: "Oh, main kasar, ah." He says it with a Chinese slang. And tht's funny too. Haha.
Point is, if you catch the movie, it won't be a waste. It's not tht bad, really. Hehe. And this must be my longest movie review =D
