What's your impression of the 'Agimat & Enteng Kabisote' movie?

As you know, the Metro Manila Film Festival is held every year during Christmas time and that Agimat as well as the Enteng Kabisote movies are certified box office hits all the time. Now, they merged into one and it seems as though it will be this year's biggest movie event. After seeing commercials, it looks really good. It feels great that these two movies have combined and that the Philippine movie industry is doing what it can do create quality movies. For the record, I haven't seen the movie and for anyone who's interested, it had it's premiere last night. My impression is that the movie would be more of a comedy film but would still have aspects of drama and action. My concern is that the Agimat movies have a more serious tone. I'm wondering if the movie would be dominated by the comedic atmosphere of Enteng Kabisote, at least that's what I see from the promotional commercial videos. I'm not saying that it might affect the quality of the film but what I'm trying to say is, is it all right for Ramon Revilla Sr. that Agimat would have that kind of tone? And that this new movie might deviate from the original intention and art of the earlier Agimat movies? Also, the theme song only mentions "Agimat" in the first part then all throughout, we hear "Enteng Kabisoteeeeeeeeeee" over and over. Again, I'm not criticizing it. I'm just pointing these and am interested if anyone else thinks the same. Thanks for reading and have a nice day! Hooray for the Philippine movie industry for making innovations and doing what it can to keep the industry alive and kicking.

We shall see it in the big screen when it hits the film festival. And let it be judged on both sides. Im thinking more of agimat leading with enteng more or less getting in the way, then end up cooperating and winning against the bad guys. who knows.

The only thought that in my head regarding the combination of the two serials is that they(the movie producers and studios) are getting fewer ideas, so they decided to cash in with two time-tested formula movies. But I guess that it is also good to have a new twist in both respective plots as long as the movie provided balanced plot and exposure to both storyline. I haven't seen the movie either and I doubt that I will since I have never been fond of either series but I'm sure that the people who will watch it will enjoy the movie immensely.

Yes your true that is one of the bigger movie todate imagine two most formidable movie outfit merge into one gigantic movie - the result is sure success. Kabesote have own huge fanatics plus Revilla's magic using agimat - ever since his movies were block buster... I don't think a big problem which of the two are more emphasis what for sure is entertainment for all movie fanatics... see you around
