Fantastica (2018) User Reviews

Dumb humor at it's finest

[leadstratchester · 3/10 · 2 January 2019]

The only way you would rate this movie 10/10 is if you are brain dead or have personal ties with the actors. This movie is the usual Vice Ganda comedy and the usual trending people at the moment (who can't act). This felt like watching 3 c-rated movies put together to make a massive incoherent picture with no definite ending. That said, I am sure that the usual Filipino crowd would eat this up and it would sell more than it should have had.

This is really not an MMFF-worthy film.

[junsephino9 · 5/10 · 18 November 2019]

The Metro Manila Film Festival was really intended to be a festival of films that will showcase the films of our country to the world. But ever since the MMFF changed their criteria that focuses more on commercial appeal, things changed.

The film's storyline is really not MMFF-worthy. The casting was quite awful; some of their actors do not act well. The jokes are corny, unlike Vice Ganda's previous films from 2010-2015. The poster seems to be messy. The production ang costume design seems to be fine as well as the musical score.

Vice Ganda should also challenge himself to try making a film that would focus more on awards and not on box office.

I don't really recommend this film.

Nothing special

[azkibis · 3/10 · 29 December 2018]

Nothing new just old common cringe type of comedy that is vice. I laugh more on yodeling boy than this trash.

Fantastically boring

[kevbee · 1/10 · 28 December 2018]

Unless you live in Philippines, you may not know the name of Vice Ganda - but he is practically an institution in that country. He appears on the daily show 'Showtime' and has his own late-night talk show. In recent years, it has also been a Christmas ritual to see the Vice Ganda Christmas movie. These are always low-budget light hearted comedies with a fair degree of slapstick. Ideal family fare. So what went wrong with Fantastica? Just about everything. A wafer-thin plot and a bored looking supporting cast not helped with a dubious script made this a tedious 2 hours. And it would appear the writers didn't know how to end the movie which went on and on and on .... and carried on through the end credits. The best laughs come right at the very end when they play the bloopers reel. Don't waste your time.

One of the worst Filipino movie ever!

[reybenipayo · 1/10 · 9 August 2019]

THE GOOD:

• none

THE BAD:

• The jokes are corny and plain bad. Some jokes are too adulterated to think that this is a PG movie.
• All of the cast are brilliantly bad when it comes to acting department. No one stands including Vice Ganda.
• The script and story feels lazy.
• The CGI is badly done.

OVERALL: Fantastica is awfully bad that I regret watching this plain movie trash. This is the only Filipino movie I hate after watching. But I have a hope that one day the director and Vice Ganda will make a movie not like this for now, this is "One the worst Filipino film ever made!!!"

AWFUL

[jeromesgabilo · 2/10 · 13 March 2022]

Just plain awful. Even with a low standard, one cannot ignore the fact that this film's comedic antics were cheap and overdone. The script was okay, but the production design and direction was so bad I almost fell bad for expensive actors featured in the movie.

Worst Editing/ Animation

[johnfederickalzona · 1/10 · 28 November 2020]

Netflix has recently added this movie. First time watching this movie and let me say, this is the worst Filipino fantasy-comedy movie. The cast, acting, stage, props are all bad. The editing is the poorest editing work I have ever seen. The jokes are corny, most of them are referenced to other movies, tv show and actors so if you are not familiar with then, you will not get it. I can't describe how bad the editing and animation was. The movie was from 2018 but the animation feels like it's from the 90's (30years ago). This movie is low budget so it looks and feels like so. Don't waste your time watching this movie.

Cringiest Movie

[papaglen · 1/10 · 5 May 2019]

Movie critics in the Philippines are either paid or dead.

Corny movie.

[louiehidalgo-09113 · 1/10 · 6 January 2019]

This movie is corny and there's no story. BAKYA!!' not a good movie. watch something else it waste of money.

Dont ever watch this crap...

[check-76987 · 1/10 · 13 June 2019]

What happen to the producers & writers this days....;this movie is load of crap & a bunch lame ol' cliche jokes..,if theres only a zero in rating,i would give this a zero..

An okay comedy film

[jykjrnfj · 8/10 · 19 March 2022]

I only watched it and stayed because of the two famous actors: Richard Gutierrez and Dingdong Dantes. There are jokes that made me laugh but some are overused and cringy.

I wish the plot was consistent but I enjoyed the parodies.

Overall I really don't recommend unless you're a big fan of the two leading men and loves Vice's jokes.

Cringe at it's finest

[paulaestrada-18492 · 2/10 · 8 August 2020]

I watched this movie recently it was not a fun experience. I mostly found myself cringing from the 'jokes' didn't really produce any kind of laugh from me a few chuckles here and there but otherwise just another comedic dump.

Brilliantly cringiest and incoherent masterpiece

[devoughalmazen · 1/10 · 18 April 2022]

I have created an account just to give this review. If you want to waste your time and money, watch this. This movie bombards you with lots of big starts and cameos that doesn't even help the storyline. Worse is it made the plot a mess supported with cringy jokes that will make you jump up on your seat. Not exaggerating but as a Filipino, I feel agitated since it was showcased in the MMFF just to present lazy writing in order that quickly milk out shallow individuals who love to see big actors banded together to create an incompetent, boring, and confusing movie (mixed with drama, comedy, fantasy, love, etc. Which intensifies its incoherence)

WAY BETTER THAN "THE REVENGER SQUAD"

[alcantaraj-16594 · 8/10 · 28 December 2018]

"Fantastica" is a lot of fun and surprisingly slightly dramatic. While the film does not provide laugh after laugh after laugh, when it gives laughs, it is definitely funny. Jacklyn Jose's performance in her dramatic scenes made the film even better, though said scenes were slightly ruined by jokes. STILL, this is very entertaining!

Best Comedy Movie of 2018

[officialchinoliu · 10/10 · 27 December 2018]

If you want to know what people are talking about, go to the nearest movie theater and find out for yourself!!!

Vice Ganda Rocksss!!!

[irmaapplewood · 10/10 · 23 January 2021]

Vice, in his funniest movie yet, won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Drama. Daniel Day-Lewis was an admitted fan of the movie. Imo.
