Legend of Gatotkaca | Blu-ray (Well Go USA)
On March 21, 2023, Well Go USA is releasing the Blu-ray & DVD for the Indonesian superhero martial arts film, Legend of Gatotkaca (aka Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca).
Legend of Gatotkaca is described as “a universe that is rich with Indonesian tradition and culture, but reinvented with a present-day timeline for a modern day audience both in Indonesia and around the world.”
Directed by Hanung Bramantyo (Brownies) from a script by Rahabi Mandra (Night Bus), Satria Dewa: Gatotkaca launches the universe created by producer Rene Ishak and veteran producer Celerina Judisari, while Mike Leeder (whose credits include The Raid franchise, the Ip Man franchise, Chasing the Dragon and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) serves as Associate Producer for the project under the auspices of Satria Dewa Studios.
The film stars Indonesian idol Rizky Nazar (Danur 3, The Way I Love You) as Yuda, an out-of-work ordinary guy when he discovers an ancient superhero power running through his veins. Realizing he is a descendant of Gatotkaca, he must unlock his power and face off with a mighty warrior trying to change history and destroy the world.
Nazar is joined by Yasmin Napper (MeloDylan), Cecep-Arif Rahman (The Raid 2, John Wick 3), Yayan Ruhiyan (Yakuza Apocalypse, The Raid 2, John Wick 3), Jerome Kurnia, Omar Daniel, ZsaZsa Utari and Yati Surachman.

The special effects and cinematography looks pretty bad in the teaser. A lot of mediocre Indonesian horror and action getting attention over the past few years just because it has someone from The Raid’s name attached to it.
At the end of the day Indonesia doesn’t really have the budget for a big budget superhero type of movie so you have to take what you can get.
But I dunno about horror but in my opinion as far as action goes I think Indonesia has way more hits than misses these past few years.
And hey if the teaser does lead into a movie where Cecep fights Yayan, it can’t be that bad.
Is this any different from standard Marketing Tactics everywhere? Ridley Scott hasn’t made a decent movie in years, and most posters for every latest Scott venture still has “From the director of Alien and Blade Runner” on it, movies that wowed you 4 decades ago,

without Jack Kirby, Gareth Evans or the Mo Brothers, I’ll be surprised if this one becomes the quote unquote ‘Indonesian Marvel’ I had no idea Leeder worked on all those raid and donnie yen films.
Don’t get your expectation high…this movie is a snooze fest, with annoying product placement, the expected duel between yayan a nd cecep happend the (hard to see) dark place with a lot of overhead shot and didn’t do much to the movie
