I grew up as teenager in 1980's and I knew Wiro Sableng character from the novels. When I watch this movie it feels nostalgic to remember the memories of adolescence. The opposite for my teenage son, who grew up with Marvel comic characters, Batman v Superman movie, and Avengers films with super sophisticated CGI techniques, they were rather unable to enjoy this film.
This Wiro Sableng film is very extraordinary in terms of artistic, camera system, lighting, and the natural beauty presented. However, the scenario is a lot of holes and deficiencies in terms of building character to be recognized by laypeople who do not know the characters in the novel Wiro Sableng.
Don't expect too much to introduce the character of Wiro Sableng's stories to the international world, many Indonesian teenagers alone do not fully understand the characters displayed in this Wiro Sableng film. The uniqueness of Wiro Sableng's combat skills and Wiro's inner sanctum identity search should be explored in depth.
Wiro Sableng movie Director is supposed to learn from the movie director 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' movie which was able to make the lay audience understand the deep character and the complicated storyline without having to read the book's own story. Another example is the SWORDSMAN film in the 1990s played by Jet Li. Although ordinary audiences never read the original novel, the audience understood the names of the characters and the greatness of the characters through the Swordsman story.
Many lay audience who have never read Wiro Sableng's story are confused with many characters that appear because of 'being forced' to appear in a very limited /short of time, without explanation of the background of the characters and the background history/review of the greatness of each character's combat skills.
I am very proud that Indonesian films can cooperate with international film distributors. Screenwriters and directors should be able to display more in-depth information about the uniqueness of the character with the perspective of a new audience who have never heard of the story of Wiro Sableng.
Most viewers who are able to be fascinated by this film are people who already understand the story of Wiro Sableng. But for lay audiences and teenagers who have never known the novel character Wiro Sableng will be confused with the appearance of characters which are explained in the novel but there is no explanation in the film so that the unique characters in the novel only appear very shallow and as if only a supplementary figures.
I hope a lot from this Wiro Sableng's Film producer. Hopefully, if the sequel will be made, it can involve international class actors such as Iko Uwais or Joe Taslim. The movie director needs to learn a lot from the movie director: TSUI HARK in terms of storytelling techniques; or learn from William Kong; Hsu Li-kong; Ang Lee when they make 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' movie.

Not That Deep Storyline and Characters but FunPermalink
nsirkardneyatt31 August 2018
Warning: SpoilersAt first, when I saw Yayan Ruhiyan involved in this movie, I had high expectations about how the action choreography is, but it's a little bit disappointing while there's no special movement or great fighting scene like what he did in The Raid series (while his colega, Iko Uwais, did amazingly in his new movie, Mile 22). But I think it's acceptable because of the age rating and this film segmentation.
The story is simple and fun with some gag skits included. But it would be hard to you if you haven't known/searched about Wiro Sableng, especially foreign viewers, to follow the developments of the characters.
Another disappointment because of some act like flying, punches, fights, are too overact and stiff to watch, and there's 1 of 2 tools that described as important thing, but Wiro Sableng didn't use it at all until the movie end.
But you can say this movie is a real improvement for Indonesian Film industry, the CGI was good (but there are some scenes that ridiculous like 'burning fire or sword punctures' (if you see the movie you'll realize those scenes)), the actor and actress was good, the gag that included in the movie were good. If they will make sequel of this movie (pretty sure they will), I hope there'll some improvement in action scenes and the development from each character.

The humor is dry. Storyline flat. Too many characters to get hold of. When I saw the first scene, I thought, 'Wow, this could be something really good', but it gets more and more boring throughout the rest of the movie. The fighting scenes are cringeworthy. They could have focused on the development of Wiro's character himself, but instead chose to introduce many others at once, quite randomly as well.

Great experience and very entertaining!Permalink
ext_rims30 August 2018
From the beginning of the film, the cinematic and great visual presentation is top notch. I feel like I was watching a hollywood movie, and the narration begins with the Journey of the hero itself. We flow through his journey (Wiro) from zero to hero with guidance from his master (Sinto). Final lesson that Sinto gave to Wiro is to be in a good side and always bring balance to the universe because there is always dark and light good and bad in every aspect. The story quite simple and flow along that we enjoy with some jokes here and there give you some fresh feeling watching this movie. The core and the story telling of this movie is stick to the original serial television Wiro Sableng.
After all I recommend you watch this movie beacuse entertaining, great visuals cinematic and also great performance from all of the cast, great job!

DisappointmentPermalink
Hackser2 September 2018
To be honest, I never read the novel, and I'm not a fan of silat. So we're fairly talking about the movie itself without any nostalgic feelings.
This movie is trying too hard to be a Hollywood-like movie. The scoring is quite good, but it's annoyingly exaggerating. Most of the times I need to read the English subtitles instead of listening to the dialogue because of the loud score.
Well, it has quite interesting characters, but the dialogue is so poor that I cringed too much while watching it. The joke is fine, but it's overused.
There's nothing special about the plot. I yawned most of the times in the cinema.
Maybe the only good thing about this movie is the choreography they gave in the action scenes. Yayan Ruhian is quiet cool too. And that's all.

EntertainingPermalink
fernallfn3 September 2018
The character is based on book written by Bastian Tito. So it's pretty much the same like TV show I used to watch when I was little, I believe so did 90s Indonesian kids. It made me feeling very nostalgic like I was taken back to the old times. This movie got a whole new level.. Well, it was produced in now era (jaman now) so more sophisticated technique with advanced technology and more interesting plot (I guess). Anw, There are some aspects that I want to share with you guys. (Ps. This is just my opinion. Different taste will have different pespective) Plot :Almost every Indonesian movie has lack of storyline. On the other hand, Wiro Sableng has a not so bad plot. You don't have to think heavily in order to follow the story. It was very light. You still can catch up after you perforced went to the rest room or check your messages (Please don't do this. It's totally annoying. I don't like either to sit next to people who's checking on their phone during the movie). There were some acts which I've found way too exaggeratted. Especially the laughing. Whether came up from the script or the casts were just improvising, it all just too much. Jokes were okay but some weren't well-executed. I tried to laugh at them but I just couldn't. Sorry !
Casts :Casts is one of the most important things to attract people to see the movie. Vino Bastian, perfect !! Lukman Sardi,, ooh the best...probably my favorite. Whereas, there are some characters who aren't really fit with casts. Or maybe acting is just not their strong suit. Again, this is just my opinion.
Cinematography :As far as I'm concern, the genre is an action movie which is why the shot should be integrated with coreography so we can enjoy every single move espcecially on fighting scenes. As for me, I didn't quite succeeded. The angles were not harmonize with coreography so seems less artistic. Probably I just forgot to use my glasses. Never mind !
Scenes :In this aspect, I would like to brought up the fighting. There are like a long-endlessly fighting scenes. I thought it was gonna take the whole movie but then I realized, this is an action movie, don't expect two love birds dancing and sucking each other's faces forever (in a romantic way tho').
Missing piece :Everytime I heard Wiro Sableng, things come up in my mind are : Jurus kunyuk melempar buah, Pukulan Matahari combined with 212 Mighty Dragon Axe (Kapak Naga Sakti 212). Jurus kunyuk melempar buah, I didn't see it at all. Pukulan matahari few scenes but that's it. They didn't emphasize it with giant thunder as the ultimate weapon to defeat his enemy. Maybe they're just saving the expense because my friend, it'll cost a fortune to create such an effect on CGI. The Axe, hmmm,, not bad... I honestly have no idea what to say but that was okay.
Score :Remarkable. This is my favorite. Maybe worth an Indonesia Movie Awards. Rushes my adrenaline during those borring fighting scenes that made me almost fell asleep. Good job !!

Entertaining! Brings Indonesian movie to the next level.Permalink
me-5903531 August 2018
As a reader of the novel and following his TV series, of course I am very much waiting for the presence of this Wiro Sableng film to be released. This film in my opinion has succeeded in elevating the Indonesian film industry to a higher level by making higher standards. With the help of 21 Century Fox, it's no wonder that this film has a classy taste. Cinematography, action action or choreography, music score. Everything is cool. But there are indeed some things that should make this film even better. Like the story plot that is less neat, the characters that need to be improved, and the colossal impression that feels less grand. Hopefully it's better in the sequel later.

equan_pr1 September 2018
The movie is great probably the best Indonesian movie i ever seen this year and it's fun too as the Wiro Sableng is should be but if you are a reader of the novel you should dealt with the story because yes the story of the movie version is shortened.
I really recommend this movie especially if you are Indonesian because of the art, the fight probably a little history of Pajajaran Kingdom.

Drastic increase for local films!Permalink
aldybeatbox2130 August 2018
This is the Indonesian version of Deadpool! I guess?
Very entertaining and magnificent for local story settings. The development of a story that adapts history is well packaged, there is a drastic increase in CGI compared to previous Indonesian action films. There are only 1 to 2 oddities of visual effects from dozens of others. very cool, must watch!

snsh-694737 September 2018
Warning: SpoilersThe CGI was great, it was a nice surprisethe acting? not so great, the choreography also weird, maybe because some of the casts aren't use to do this kind of movie. Some were great and natural, and some weren't.Some of the fighting scenes were also a bit weird, there were a few lazy writing too. for example : you can't just defeat the evil minion with a fart. That wasn't... logical even for a supernatural being/ superhuman.funny, but still.. I prefer the classic.

Feel Empty InsidePermalink
jinojiwantenggara6 September 2018
This movie is trying so hard to be great and funny. Most of the jokes are cringe worthy. The plot is paper thin. Too many characters that basically non existence due to the poor writing. You could have replaced one character to another. Who is that? Who is this? You won't care when one of the character dies (this is not spoiler because you won't care anyway). The actions are dull and the philosophy of number 2-1-2 felt too empty. The only good thing is the location. But it's not enough to redeem this movie. I'm so disappointed.

THIS FILM COULD BE BETTER :( !Permalink
andika_w3 September 2018
First, I was expecting this movie to be 'friendly' to those who don't know about Wiro Sableng story at all. Or at least, make the actions great!
But HOLLY MOLY. The truth is (from my perspective), I couldn't enjoy this movie since the beginning. I must say the story was very very very bad. Too many 'untold' characters, just like the Justice League.
The VFXs were great (so proud), BUT the way they deliver the story ruined it all.
Sorry Lifelike films. You guys are great, but not for this one.
But I'm still waiting for the next sequel! Learn the failures from this film and return with some unpredictable badass Hollywood class stories :)!

Wiro Sableng
Fun but could be better..royshaelendra3 September 2018
Warning: SpoilersIf there's one thing that we can learn from both Mile 22 and Wiro Sableng..the real star of the Raid movies is Gareth Evans. Evans really is the master of action martial art movie..probably the best right now. Tbh..I had more fun watching Wiro Sableng than Mile 22. The story is simple..a kid saved by a silat master after his parents were murdered by the main villain. Many years after..he seek revenge. And they mix it up with a royal coup and a couple of hot chicks. The humor could be better handled..as well as the special effect. Overall this movie has its moments. But considering the big budget, it could be better..much better..

Don't Expect Too Much...Permalink
suwandiirwan13 September 2018
When you see a movie is made based on the legendary martial art characters, what youd expect? A martial art extravaganza of course!! Yet this movie delivered quite boring martial art choreos and technique. When Yayan Ruhian's in a movie.,. You'd be expecting a fast paced action scene, kinda like The Raid stuffs and all that....yet the action scenes here are overused on wired moves., slow and forced martial art coreos., somethin that maybe an ok for a movie made in the 90's (some of the 90's hong kong flicks had better fights than this).The one thing good in this movie is the cinematography and the music scores.,. But hell.,. A martial art fan would come to see a martial art movie with one thing in their heads., a butt kickin action fights extravaganza!! ...Well you dont get that stuff here...So lower your expectations on this movie... the movie overall is quite well.,. But the fighting scenes were mehh...

Grear Silat scenes, but needs a lot of improvement in the other departmentsPermalink
raditaremisa12 September 2018
Plus: super great fighting choreography, good visual effect, beautiful scenery views, good and steady camera placement, but sometimes it got too close.Minus: lack of the acting skills for the young actors; you can really see the different level between senior actors like lukman sardi, dwi sasono, yayan ruhiyan and the youngsters, lack of character development, lack of background story of the main villain (the sinetron version was sooo much better). poor line selection especially wiro's dialogue (it feels so cringey because he spoke like modern people while the rest of the cast using formal language. Again, the dialogue in sinetron version win by far). Some of the intended comedy can't be delivered successfully. Wiro sableng was supposed to be an action comedy, so they should do the comedy and characterization more wholeheartedly. Overall, it was an Okay movie. If the producers want to make the sequels, the most important thing is to work on the acting skills.

The acting most of actor and actress were not natural. I thought vino is not suitable for wiro character. The story line was less strength and some point are confusing. The silat was very good. Yayan got it so well.

For some people who watched the series in the past, this movie is very nostalgicwe can see this film made with such great effort,acting the from the casts is really amazing especially yayan ruhian, ruth marini and vino bastian itself as crazy wiro
some effects may not be perfect, but this is already very good
it's just that this film has several weaknesses, including:too many characters but not deepened,jokes that are sometimes not hit,I hope the sequel can be made even better

Good story line, incredible effectPermalink
satriyobpadhi1 January 2019
Wiro sableng is one of a well known legendary story in Indonesia, the story line is unpredictable, great computer graphic effect for a local movie, and the only actor that has stunning acting is Vino Bastian.
