A Disappointing Continuation

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This is a great romantic movie ever made! I love the storyline, actors soundtracks and everything on this movie.Btw, this movie is based on the best-selling book of the same name by Habiburrahman El Shirazy.I think if you read the book you would like the movie more. And honestly, I haven't read the book.Overall, I think Verses Of Love is an Indonesian version of all the romantic movies based on Nicholas Sparks' books because it will touches the audiences. I'm not crying while watching this movie, but maybe if I'm in the good mood when I watch this, maybe I will crying. Who knows??

Maybe it's just me but why can't Indonesia make better films? Pramoedya Ananta Toer was one of the greatest writers ever to grace this earth what has happened to Indonesian cinema. Saw this on a Singapore to London flight and it did make me cry much to the amusement of my Indonesian relatives who spent the whole film laughing and taking the **** out of it.Why can't Indonesia produce the quality films coming out of Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong instead of rubbish like Arisan !. Opera Jawa was a good effort but what's needed is the bravery to deal with emotions openly instead of hiding them behind tradition, culture, religion, or the life style of the rich.Islam is not the reason, many other Muslim countries have produced great cinema.

For a regional movie, it was OK. I would have liked it to be a little more fun and funny, but overall I think it was a watchable effort. Some parts were a bit over-acted, but it moved along quite fast.It does offer glimpses of Muslim thinking and culture (at least as practised in some parts of Egypt/Indonesia). Nevertheless, remember it's a fictional movie, guys.For those not from the Asean region - suggest you watch it with an open mind, and I'm sure you can enjoy it too....don't pre-judge based on your religious prejudices. BTW does anyone know whether the actress who plays Maria (Carissa Puteri) is a Muslim in real life?...just curious.....

Overall, it was better than most Indonesian movies about love. the rating is a bit equal with Deddy Mizwar's films. But of course, Deddy Mizwar's films was better :)This movie was originated from a famous novel with the same title. The novel was written by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy. But the full story of the movie was different, compared to the original novel by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy. Because of this, many Indonesian people who've read the novel before watching the movies was so upset, because they've many differences. :OIf you've read the novel,then you must watch the movies ;)
