Actually, it was my first time to watch Malaysian's movie. I
could not understand almost half of this movie because they spoke in Bahasa
Malaysia without English subtitle. However, this movie caught my attention
because of the sets, props, and costumes. Also, the storyline was simple enough
to understand and it is suitable for all ages.
In some part of this movie, the director put humours to get audiences'
attention but it did not really help. The director should make it more serious
rather than putting humours. It does not mean that all the humours failed in
the movie. I liked the part when prince asked ladies who is the princess and a
maid said "I'm a princess" with poker face. I'm sure that most people
were laughing at that part. My second funny moment was when a maid described
how prince looked like inside a tent. To putting a character such as YingYing
was brilliant idea to add humours not to lose audiences' attentions. YingYing
and Embok had less scenes than main characters but, for me, I would like to
give claps to YingYing and Embok because they attracted me to finish watching
it. What they mentioned and played inside of movie was more than enough to get
an attention (most teenagers getting bored to watching historical movie :)) because this movie was about Merong
Mahawangsa's adventure of finding his destiny and discovering his back ground
and Merong made an promise to accompany a Rome prince to Langkasuka, to marry
Chinese princess but his soldiers got into a huge danger.
this was the moment when YingYing described how prince looked like!
Two thumbs up!
I should say one negative thing that I had experienced in this movie was they spoke in Bahasa Malaysian without English subtitle but I give 7 out 10 for this movie! I feel like to try other Malaysian movie again!
