Magika

 

Saya dah tonton filem Magika ni..the first musical film in Malaysia..walopun separuh jalan Encik Nazley dah tertido, bagi saya not bad la Magika ni..beautiful cinematography, flawless CGI rendering, good acting and catchy songs. This musical retelling of our very own local fairy tales..filem tempatan yang bole dibanggakan dari segi  teknik dan idea..hey come on..bagi  la sket sokongan kat filem tempatan..dengan bajet yang  terhad, its not fair to compare Magika dengan Narnia or Alice in Wonderland..

Its  a musical film dalam kata lain, singing dialogues...memang la boring bila sekejap-sekejap menyanyi aje kejenya..scene bercakap yang best bagi saya ialah scene antara Puteri Gunung Ledang (Ning Baizura) dengan Bendahara Melaka (Sabri Yunus) sebab saya memang gelak la time scene ni..tak nak komen panjang-panjang..cukup saya cakap ok la..bole bagi thumb up to the youngest of  the KRU brothers, Edry Abdul Halim as a director....tapi, thumb down to the director of filem tajuk "asal bole" dan poster "amat senonoh" macam di bawah ni..

Ishhh..sape punya filem tak semenggah ni??
