Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers Film Trailer Review


What can be said about Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers official movie trailer? Well, if you have been existing long enough and have been following the Philippine movie scene, you know exactly what to expect from Vic Sotto's Enteng Kabisote film franchise. Whether that be a good or bad thing and whether you like it or not, Enteng Kabisote is here to stay... or at least his descendants or if they decide the reboot the entire franchise, because... why NOT? This is the "big" movie for the EB Dabarkads, an Eat Bulaga December movie of sort, just like how the longest running Filipino noontime variety show makes a series of annual drama one-shots during the Lenten season. Oh and let me address one obvious criticism in this movie trailer besides Vic Sotto being too old fro this film franchise, yes it unapologetically parodies Hollywood blockbuster success Iron Man and the Avengers. Oh and there is the Lolas and the AlDub/MaiDen love team for the Eat Bulaga Dabarkads (who love them).


Did you know that Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers is the first Enteng Kabisote film (from the longf line of "Okay Ka, Fairy Ko!" film series) that will not be featured in the Metro Manila Film Festival? This is due to the now "improved" (?) and "higher qualifications" said to be applied and adapted by the people behind the annual mainstream holiday season Filipino film festival after a series of negative criticism hurled towards it. Vic Sotto's "Enteng Kabisote 10 and the Abangers" has met the exact same faith as its usual rival from the competing network (ABS-CBN) in the annual film festival, The Super Parental Guardians. Just like how the two entries usually clashed with one another in past Metro Manila Film festival (and their Filipino noontime show counterparts, GMA Network's Eat Bulaga vs ABS-CBN's It's Showtime); the average Filipino movie going fans will once again be thrown in the collision of these two "great" forces clashing on the big screen.


How about you guys? What do you think about this 2016 comeback film from Vic Sotto and the enteng Kabisote film franchise? Where you a fan or have seen the past "Okay Ka, Fairy Ko!" or "Enteng Kaisote" films? Which one is your favorite or which one where your least favorite? What do you think about Enteng Kabisote not being in the official entries to the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival?

Imagine You and Me Film Trailer Review


What can be said about Imagine You and Me teaser movie trailer? Well, besides mistaking that the film uses The Turtles "Happy Together" as its theme song (which it doesn't, by the way), it looks very simplistic. A romantic film that cashes in on the "popularity" of Alden and Maine of AlDub. It is the first major film featuring the AlDub (some fans call it MaiDen) love team who got their first wind out of sheer luck in the Philippines' longest running variety show Eat Bulaga for almost a year now. This is the second film that featured Eat Bulaga's Maine Mendoza and Alden Richards in a film; the first one being My Bebe Love: #KiligPaMore. So besides the standard "kilig" that one might get from romantic film trailers, what else do we get from this teaser trailer?


That is the first question to come in to mind. Why only release a teaser trailer, when they can already release the full trailer? It's more than a month before the romantic film's eventual theatrical release and all they have are breadcrumbs which only gives us a most basic of premise, of two Filipino yuppies finding love and probably a first one at that (at least) for one of the "Maine" character; a love story which happens to be set in Italy. Besides everything else, we have nothing. This doesn't bode as the lack of proper marketing and hype is only exclusive to some teaser trailers and clips shown during Eat Bulaga and feature in the network news' showbiz segment. The movie doesn't seem to offer anything new to (or to revolutionize) the genre. It simply is a romantic film set (and mostly shot abroad) with tons of "pick up lines" used by a a charismatic male leading man to a "No Boyfriend Since Birth" (NBSB) female lead; a film which seems to only cater to the AlDub fans. Well, at least that is what we can observe from the teaser trailer least than a month away from its actual release. This is something observe in some Star Cinema films as well, but ABS-CBN seems to be more hands on with how they promote their films — to an ad nauseam level.

Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako
Plot / Synopsis

The story begins with the establishment of the three different worlds apart, bound to meet for an adventure like no other -- the humble family-oriented story of ENTENG KABISOTE (VIC SOTTO), a low-profile technician married to the beautiful Fairy Princess of Encantasia, FAYE (GWEN ZAMORA); the battles of the AGIMAT (RAMON "BONG" REVILLA, JR.), the brave village Warrior Hero of Amuleto; and the high tech-yuppie Kingdom of Diwatara ruled by Princess ANGELINA KALINISAN-ORTEZA (JUDY ANN SANTOS), also known in the human world as "AKO," where she leads an environmental advocacy organization.

Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako Film Trailer Review

Ah! Another year of Metro Manila Film Festival, and you know what that means right? ... another Enteng Kabisote title this 2012. If last year's Enteng teams him up with the much beloved Ina Montecillo (Ai-Ai de las Alas) of the "Ang Tanging Ina" comedy film series, this 2012 teams him up again with Agimat (Bong Reviulla, Jr.) of "Ang Agimat, Anting-anting ni Lolo" (2002), whom he also teamed up with 2010's "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote". The only difference now is the inclusion of "Ako" (Judy Ann Santos) to complete the trio of "Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako" this 2012. So what can we make up with this latest enteng Kabisote crossover MMFF film fest entry for 2012?

It seems to be a tradition now, every Metro Manila Film Festival must include a Shake, Rattle, & Roll or an Enteng Kabisote title and don't get me wrong most Filipino film audience likes these annual installments. I just somehow find the (Enteng Kabisote) franchise uninspired now. A series which could expand the lore of its magical land but still maintaining its humor and charm, but instead creates unnecessary crossovers, out of their own universe set of villains to even immortal villains, and usually preachy film about what is moral and what is not. December 25, is also a holiday and day for the whole family and what we have learned with past Enteng Kabisote films is that it is going to be yet another blockbuster hit thanks to the marketing by both Eat Bulaga, the station it is under which is also a partner of the creation of this title, GMA Films; and Judy ann santos on her home station in ABS-CBN. The idea of an having future Enteng Kabisote MMFF entry with Bong Revilla, Jr. (Agimat), and Ai-Ai de las Alas (Tanging Ina) with Judy Ann Santos Ako again seems not too impossible after the success of this film. If you want the the Enteng Kabisote film series to drag/continue with this possibility, then go check it out when it hits the theaters on December 25, 2012.

Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote, features two box office kings (Vic Sotto and Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr.) is one of the biggest Metro Manila Film Festival movie tie-up for the year which transcended to a box office success. Does "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote" blockbuster success means that it is a similarly good film?

Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote Synopsis
Film Premise

After chasing a monster from his realm, Agimat (Bong Revilla) ends up in Engkantasya where he encounters Enteng Kabisote. They later teamed up to chase the same monster which escaped to the human world (Enteng Kabisote's world) to avoid the chaos that the monster might cause to the humans. Enteng Kabisote series' main villain Satanna has once again resurfaced to revive another diabolic villain from the world of Agimat. The two villains then abducted the loved ones of Agimat and Enteng to make them fight each other.

Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote Movie Review
Pinoy Movie Blogger Reviews

Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote is generally an Enteng Kabisote film with a special participation of Agimat, or more likely Bong Revilla in a Vic Sotto film. Okay Ka, Fairy Ko (both the television and film series) and Enteng Kabisote (film franchise) have created and established a colorful and magical world of fairies, magic, family life and epic adventures which is a perfect set up to put similar character like Agimat. I have seen past Imus Production Films which usually features Bong Revilla as its main protagonist. It can easily be noticed that most of the Imus Productions entries wanted to attract most of the Filipino movie going audience but usually fails unlike its fellow MMFF competitor, the Enteng Kabisote film series. Thanks to longer airtime in Eat Bulaga, the film is properly marketed which would later reflect in ticket sales. So it is only natural that the team up of the two past Metro Manila Film Festival box office kings would yield favorable results. Besides this analysis what else can "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" has to offer?

In pursuit of a monster, Agimat crossed dimensions which transported him to Engkantasya where Enteng also ended up to search for his wife. The rest unfolded itself in a mediocre fashion but tries to project an epic adventure feel to the entire film. Not to be mistaken for an Enteng Kabisote movie all throughout, some scenes deviate from the comedic nature of the Enteng Kabisote universe which was achieved by focusing more on Agimat’s more dramatic and action-pack heavier nature. This uneven separation and focus of the two separate characters sometimes feel forced which might hurt the overall feel to the film.

The humor is a mixture of slapstick and situational comedy. Some of its humor also makes reference to segments and personalities of Eat Bulaga (the longest running noontime show in the Philippines) which may not usually appeal to some selected movie goers. There are also scenes having sexual innuendos; blood, gore and violence which goes against the target audience it generally wants to cater, the entire family.

The CGI and special effects range from okay to horrendous which one can easily notice on film trailer alone. That particular scene is Agimat dodging a CGI double edged axe thrown at him. Some visual effects set pieces looks okay but other pieces really look artificial and out of place. The graphics is not the main focus of the film and luckily it didn't for it would ruin the entire film. With big production studios backing up the biggest Metro Manila Film Festival team up pf the year, one would have thought that the film would have at least tried to invest more on a better and more realistic visual effects, but sadly "Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote" didn't which is such a waste of opportunity. Another headache inducing effects is the constant slowdown and speed ups effects on all action sequences which gets tiring and irritating early in the movie and drags it along until the end.

I have seen all of the Enteng Kabisote film series, thus I should gave it a more favorable review (for a possibility of being labeled as an avid fan or sort), but as they say with age comes wisdom and Enteng Kabisote could no longer hide its mediocre nature. Even if it adds up another character or an entire film franchise under its title, there will come a time that it gets really tiring and that time is now. An Enteng Kabisote film is no longer enough to satisfy more critical Filipino film fans looking for quality and content. Enteng Kabisote is a film franchise that has been milked so many times that there is nothing new that it can offer. Rather than exploring the rich magical world of Engkantasya which has repetitively teased the moviegoers on glimpse of its entirety on past Okay Ka Fairy Ko and Enteng Kabisote series, the film simply focuses more on just the same repetitive villains and set pieces. But if you are looking for a more relax film with general appeal and familiarity with the characters (actors) and a film that doesn't take itself too seriously, then Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote will do just fine but PMB barely recommends it.

PMB Recommendations for Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote
The Verdict

Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote is your average Vic Sotto film with Bong Revilla as an added character. I really want to give this a favorable review but the film just won't allow me. The film is not really that bad and you might get a laugh or two from a trusted and proven formulaic humor, a sometimes forced moral values but this can’t hide a weak plot, poor character development, a frustrating CGI and visual effects, and various plot holes.

If you prefer quality over just big names and collaborations, then you are better off looking for other MMFF entries and believe me when I say there are far superior MMFF entries than this. Though it generally appeals to the Filipino movie going audience by mixing recognized box office MMFF names, Si Agimat at Si Enteng Kabisote falls short and fails to deliver a more engaging storyline, character development and an epic adventure. It maybe a box office success in terms of ticket sales but don't expect something phenomenal on this film. Rather than milking a Filipino pop culture television and movie series (the Okay Ka Fairy Ko and the Enteng Kabisote film series), the production should take this challenge to create a more engaging story, better visual and special effects, in-depth character developmen without loosing the appeal it has established.

This is why The Pinoy Movie Blogger gives "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote" a similarly frustrated rating of one and a half out of a perfect five "Agimat" medallion. A first low rating in Pinoy Movie Blogger Reviews.
