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.

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.
