An action-packed and emotionally satisfying adaptation of the treasured Indonesian comicbook created by Harya "Hasmi" Suraminata.

Its origin story of the Indonesian superhero doesn't offer anything that hasn't been seen before, but it works adequately for its social commentary and a few action sequences that occasionally blast the screen as a thunderbolt. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 7/10

Whats not forgivable is the films failure to choreograph enthralling fight scenes, given the talent pool and reputation of Indonesian cinema.

While slick and well choreographed Indonesian martial arts sequences sure do help... the rest of the film feels very familiar to anyone who's seen even a handful of superhero movies.

...one can't deny Anwar's talent for creating decent superhero spectacle on the kind of money that would barely cover the catering in a Marvel movie.

Rated: 3.5/5

Elements of Madness

This modern adaptation of creator Harya "Hasmi" Suraminata's comic is not as family-friendly as its American counter-parts, willing to show the violence that breeds villainy and the indifference of good men, but it's just as entertaining ...

Rated: 4/5

It was entertaining, and the fight choreography was well done. A bit slow at to get started, but a great low power hero story

Call me crazy but this BCU is more enjoyable than the MCU with a really big big budget.

Bumilangit Cinematic Universe's Ironman certainly lives up to the expectation. Some say the plot is all over the place but that's to be expected from the young Indonesian movie industry.

A great start to Indonesia's bumilangit movie universe. The storyline was promising and the action was well choreographed

Gundala is an impressive movie, not to be compared with the Super Hero movies of the Hollywood. Here, the Hero is given completely a human figure. Even the action sequences were executed in a very natural way. But, I wish if it was more thrilling and fast. I guess this is just a beginning and expecting sequels.

Joko Anwar's Gundala is a solid, but flawed superhero flick. It is great seeing Indonesia get on board the superhero train, but the overall movie needed to have been stronger. The humor that is present is solid, the acting is good and the fight choreography is particularly terrific, resulting in some amazing action scenes. But the script is overstuffed with too many underdeveloped plot points and the characterization left a lot to be desired.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
