Mat Kilau Storyline

This film tells the rise of a Malay warrior named Mat Kilau and his friends against the British colonialists who came to Pahang in 1890. The greed of British officials and policies, which have imposed excessive taxes, confiscated land belonging to the Malays to reap the treasures of Pahang and disrupted the Islamic way in Pahang has caused dissatisfaction among the rulers and the Malays. The patriotic spirit of Mat Kilau and his friends who rose up against British violence had caused Captain Syers to launch an attack on Mat Kilau. Witness the heroic spirit of Mat Kilau, Tok Gajah and Mat Kilau’s best friends use their wisdom to fight in the jungle against the British soldiers. Did Mat Kilau and his friends succeed in driving out the barbaric and greedy British army to reap gold and tin in Pahang?—themoviedb

Mat Kilau Movie Reviews

Disappointed

This is literally the worst film from the Director, his previous films were watchable and enjoyable. This one fails so badly till you legit have to force yourself to watch till the end. Could’ve improved a lot of things but they’ve decided to leave it that day!

Overall watch at your own risk, skip this if you want to.

Extremely Overrated

Poor writing and storyline. Fake acting. Childish narrative on antagonist. Historically inaccurate doesnt mean the story have to be unrealistic.

Though response from the local shows that malaysian simply judge local film by fighting act and cast presentation.

Indonesian’s Rudie Habibie for example does spent their plot on fighting and choreography. But good character arc, less fighting, less screaming, less preaching.

Another collection of trash from the Yusuf’s.

What is the fuss about this film???

I decided to give it a go and try watching this movie with my family…and i just don’t understand why people making a fuss about this movie… first of all screenwriting can do better… should hire someone who is actually good in doing scriptwriting … Shamsul Yusuf should just stick to directing… you don’t need to show that you can do everything but the outcome is like those tv malay drama series…….

the transition between scenes is just mediocre… its like you watching a snippet of scenes and end up gluing it together… there is no continuity on the entire movie …. jumping all over here and there….

The shaky camera works should be less.. you should learn by watching from the experts like steven spielberg’s “private ryan” or any from paul. Greengrass films…oh and the kicking and puching sound during the martial arts silat sequence should be more realistic…not some recycle sound from your old KL gangster film…. lousy sound.

Should hire a proper sound designer and a good foley artist….

oh and the set designer should do more proper study on the surroundings… for example there is a scene where the landscape is showing the people doing the. Gold panning and it shows the tent is all so clean and so white…. bear in mind that scenes is at a gold mining area with all the muds etc but yet the tent is so clean…. and even the villagers costume as well as the Mat kilau crew is using a well clean , iron straight from the boutique quality….. does not feel that the villagers are living in poverty…..

the ending scene is like you suddenly realize that you are running out of money and just simply cut short the film.. there is no proper ending/ summary to this film…. even the character of Captain Syers by Geoff Andre Feyaerts during the final retreat scene is not properly develop…should develop showing the frustration / or the vengeance feeling towards the rebels and showing his vows to come again if there is any plan to do a sequel………

i left the cinema with WTF!!! Why people say it is an awesome movie… i have seen better malay films……

if there is a sequel shamsul yusof should and.studio kembara should do more proper study and not some so so film like this.
