Cicakman is an abomination in every conceivable aspect. The story is basically a rip-off from other superhero movies like Spiderman but its handled by people who have no idea how to construct a logical narrative. The main character's, or any of the characters in this movie's, motivation remain unclear until the very end.
The main character's driving force as a character seems to flip flop with every scene you see him in. The film started with him falling for a girl but in the next scene they had a falling out in a way that is so poorly communicated but then he falls back in love with her after rescuing her from two annoying goons in an alley but he was too scared to face her so she meets the main character's roommate and they fall in love so the main character and his roommate had a falling out all of the sudden? Like... what? The structure of the film makes the minimum amount of sense because they put a montage of cicakman doing superhero duties AFTER he faces off with the main villain.
The finale of this movie reminds me so much of the rooftop scene from "The Room" but its somehow way worse than that because it barely had any charm in it. Characters just appear out of nowhere and the roommate character dies but no emotions were felt because the movie's direction is so aimless and confused.
The CGI is noteworthily bad and by bad I mean atrocious. Scenes look like they take place in an un-rendered backdrop for a Playstation One game. It looks like it is snowing at the exterior but only a few background characters actually wear winter clothes and every one else seem to wear clothes suited in a tropical setting.
I have never seen a movie so full of try-hard attempts at comedic performances and I think this is the film's biggest crime. Imagine Austin Powers but instead of one character playing the weirdo, you have an entire ensemble playing insufferable caricatures.
