I was overawed when I saw this movie. It was beyond expectation. A malay movie finally as good as any blockbuster Hollywood movie! Pundits will say that the storyline is not true to history but this movie remind me of the greatest movie of all time "The Titanic" - itself a love story set against a historical incident. As in the movie Titanic, the storyline is fictional though based on legendary malay figures. Though the movie could have been improved somewhat overall it is the greatest malay movie of all time. The opening intro of Hang Tuah was commendable, however I feel the character could have been developed more to show his silat prowess and mystique in the malay community. Tiara Jacqueline is perfect as the princess. She is drop dead gorgeous. Though there are censorship limitations nevertheless I felt more could have been explored in her love story with Hang Tuah.Syabas Puteri Gunung Ledang, I salute you.

I'm a great fan of the "golden age" of Malaysian cinema, when P.Ramlee simply awed us with his amazing movies. His comedies, tragedies and action-adventures left a lasting impression of the immense genius in him.Sadly after his demise, very few Malaysia production ever left such an impression. Much of it was too immature and pales in comparison with the artistic works of our great Seniman Agung.Now Puteri Gunung Ledang, an ambitious project, when first announced was well received. A movie to depict on of the greatest love stories of the Malay Archipelago, with a big budget and talented cast. Well, Kudos and Well Done to the production ! Director Saw Teong Hin has envisioned the periodic elements of Malacca Sultanate carefully and successfully. The cinematography was excellent, capturing every scene majestically and doing a lot of justice to preserve the historical elements of the movie. Tiara Jacquelina was brilliant in her role as Gusti Puteri. M. Nasir, now he really has acting potential! The background music score was simply amazing. Overall, it's a monumental achievement in Malaysian movie production.

Puteri Gunung Ledang was better than I expected however I felt that they could have edited it a bit more since it seemed quite draggy. The beautiful Tiara Jacquelina looked a bit "forced" during some scenes but overall, an average performance. M. Nasir's acting shocked me as I didn't expect much from him. The concept of the fighting scenes could have been done and explained better as well. Sophia Jane put on a good performance -- they should have given her more lines instead of standing around looking pretty. I don't have anything to rave about the "Sultan of Malacca" however the kid who played the Crown Prince is adorable. I ended up in tears so do bring along a packet of tissue if you're as sensitive and emotional as I am ;)

Puteri Gunung Ledang the most highly anticipated movie of the year has finally decided to make its appearance. The film managed to fulfill the audience's expectation on it. Credits have to be given to all the crew of the film who I can see had been working very hard to ensure the movie's success. The setting, the cinematography, the colours, the background music complementing each other and thus deliver this movie to a class of its own.Thumbs up to M.Nasir as the Lord Admiral Hang Tuah. He has given a different interpretation to the elusive Hang Tuah. His facial expression very much reflected the turmoil of emotions between his "cinta agung" and his loyalty to his Sultan. Tiara as the beautiful princess of Mount Ledang has done her best to envelope herself into the character and she has done it well. The unspoken bond between the princess and Hang Tuah was clearly prevailed by her eyes, smile and gesture as they were united by the waterfall.Overall, it is a good film and thumbs up to the script writer for the very poetic dialogue especially the dialogue between Hang Tuah and the princess when they expressed their undying love for each other. It is a sad love story and I couldn't help myself shedding a tear or two for the two lovers who had to endure so much for the sake of their "cinta agung"Kudos to the whole production of Puteri Gunung Ledang!
