Surprisingly better than expected however ...

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 ;)
