A DISAPPOINTING REMAKE!!

What's wrong with the director Hanung Bramantyo?Ever since the epic Sultan Agung, his films have increasingly leaned toward being exaggerated, chaotic, and inconsistent. And now, the remake of one of Indonesia's most legendary youth films-Catatan Si Boy-has been brought to the big screen only to end up far below expectations.Let's be clear: when you remake a box office classic, there are only two possible outcomes-it either lives up to the original, or it completely collapses. Unfortunately, this film is a total MESS.Hollywood, when doing remakes, usually maintains the essence of the original era. They stay true to the setting or choose to make a sequel or prequel instead of rewriting the setting of an iconic story. But in Indonesia, many filmmakers, rather than creating continuations, prefer to remake legendary titles-and change almost everything! It's way much better to make a NEW STORY than making a remake film.From the cast alone, the imbalance is glaring. The young actors struggle-especially when put alongside senior actors (playing their parents), the contrast is painful. The only performances worth noting come from the senior actors and the actor playing Emon (although even he doesn't surpass the iconic original). At best, it's a decent attempt-but not enough to carry the film.There's absolutely no chemistry between the leads. Key characters have been altered to the point of being unrecognizable. Vera, once known for her bravery, independence, and strong-headedness, now comes off as lacking understanding and a little narcissistic-insisting only on being understood, never trying to understand others. It's a far cry from the Vera we knew.Boy's friends, like Andi, get almost no screen time. The story also seems confused about what era it belongs to. Is it set in the 80s-90s, or in Gen Z's world? The cultural mix is jarring-like Gatsby aesthetics meets 80s street gangs with cars and motorbikes, plus TikTok-style Gen Z dancing. It feels like a film that has completely lost its identity.I grew up in the 90s, and I still watch and enjoy the original Catatan Si Boy from time to time. That's how legendary this film is. It wasn't just a story-it was a cultural icon.Those who gave this remake a good review are probably Gen Z OR audiences who have never watched the original. For them, this might be fresh. But for those of us who remember how powerful and meaningful Catatan Si Boy once was, this remake feels like a hollow imitation.

It a very boring movie

It a damn boring movie. From the started .. i forced my self and I finally gave up in 20 minutes.I don't understand.. this is so far from the old Catatan Si Boy. The cast and the actorbis horrible.The movie was poorly executed in every aspect. The actors seemed disinterested and lacked any sense of emotion or chemistry on screen. The plot was incredibly mundane and predictable, offering no surprises or engaging moments. Overall, it was a tedious and unenjoyable viewing experiencePlease do not make sequel for this movie. One is enough. Do not change the cult movie into horrible movie. It should been warning sign when you wanted to watch this movie.

It's touched my heart for real!?

I'm so in love w/this film at first sight? the boy's character it's just like a best good wattpad boys character, he's handsome, he's care, he love his friend and also he's so loyal, and full of effort always. I will always remember this film because the story is so extraordinary. Vera's unexpected presence give more feel for boy's life and the film. Amazing! I love this?Nuke was a very beautiful girl, she's nice, and she's so mind her Papa, i'm touched fr. Nuke wants struggle always but her Papa always say no, until boy come to tell that he don't want Nuke was hurt by the situation, Boy don't want nuke to leave her Papa, just boy need to go. OMG I'M GONNA CRY, U NEED TO WATCH IT NOW! ?
