Cicak Man

Cicak Man. I had a sinister smile when i heard the title. When we got the passes for the gala premiere, i was actually thinking twice about it.



So and then i went, Cathay was full of people. And characters. The whole setup was cool, KRU planned it well, prolly one of the best (in local) ever.
Professor Klon is now my favourite villian. His laugh, was amazing. And the best actor in it is prolly Jalaludin Hassan (Who Wants To Be A Milionaire host). Ginger boys (Matrix twins) wanna be, was.. a disaster. Maybe putting Saiful Apek was a disaster too.



Metrofulus, a city created for this, was fantastic, it's like 1950's London with cold weather and stuff. CGI classic cars, high rise but old school buildings, underground MRTs, cable cars and no such thing as handphones or gadgets. Oh and of course, there's a currency call Fulus, and the notes & coins are different. I like that.

Go catch Cicak Man. But pardon the actors (except Aznil), check out the settings of the movie, the CGI, the art direction and everything else. A truly remarkable production by the locals.
